Hi Carl, and welcome back to planDisney!
It’s always great to see a familiar name pop up in our queue. I’m so glad to hear you’ll be staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, there’s truly nothing like it! From complimentary transportation options like buses, boats, the iconic monorail, and the Disney Skyliner, to unbeatable proximity to the theme parks, it’s all about convenience and maximizing the magic. You’ll also enjoy early theme park entry every day, and if you're staying at a Deluxe Resort, be sure to take advantage of those
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours on select nights. And of course, one of my favorite perks is purchasing a Resort Refillable Mug!
Let’s talk mugs! The Resort Refillable Mug is a fantastic option for Guests who love to sip and stroll. It provides unlimited refills on fountain drinks, coffee, and tea at any Disney Resort hotel quick-service location for the length of your stay (up to 14 days). While you can bring your mug with you to the water parks or theme parks, it’s important to know that the refillable feature doesn’t carry over to those locations, meaning you won’t be able to refill it with soda, coffee, or tea once you leave the resorts. That said, we always bring ours along! I’ll often fill mine with hot coffee before heading out in the morning, then rinse it out and use it to stay hydrated at water fountains throughout the day.
Here’s a little pro tip: if you’re traveling with a stroller, bring along a couple of carabiners to clip your mugs right onto the stroller handlebar. It keeps them within reach and saves valuable bag space!
And since you're already planning to take advantage of the refillable mug, don’t miss out on the refillable popcorn buckets available in the theme parks. After the initial purchase, you can grab discounted popcorn refills throughout your entire vacation (valid for the length of stay). It’s the perfect park snack and always a hit while waiting in line for a favorite attraction or enjoying a parade.
I hope this helps with your planning, Carl! If you have any other questions, whether it's snacks,
strollers, or something in between, we're always happy to help here at planDisney. Have a magical vacation!
Cheers,
Brent
