Hi Robert! Thanks so much for reaching out to us here at planDisney. I'm happy you found us!
Resort Refillable Mugs can only be refilled at the refilling stations at your
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel. They cannot be refilled at the parks. However, depending on the person and how they use them, they
can be a great value.
If you are planning on eating meals at your resort's
quick-service locations and/or planning on spending some time at the resort and want to be able to fill up your mug over and over, it really
can be a great deal. Also, as a coffee drinker, I will often fill my mug up with coffee in the mornings before I leave for the parks and bring it with me to drink on the way or while I'm walking around. Please note that specialty coffee locations that are found at some resorts are not included, but the coffee at the refilling stations is. While the mugs can't be refilled in the park, you are certainly allowed to bring them in with you and fill them up with water at water fountains or bottle-refilling stations to stay hydrated. Often simply using it for coffee can make it a great value. Plus, it then becomes a souvenir to bring home...and you can fill it up with your own coffee and pretend you're still on vacation!
It really depends on the person as to if it's going to be worth it. If you're not going to drink coffee each morning or you're going to be spending all your time at the theme parks and therefore not drinking soda at the resort, it's likely not going to be a good value for you.
Robert, if you're a soda drinker, I would be remiss if I didn't mention
Club Cool at
EPCOT. This is a place where you can get samples of different Coca-Cola products from around the world. While you won't be able to fill up your mug at these stations, you are usually welcome to take as many samples as you'd like, depending on how crowded it is when you visit. Just a word of warning, the Beverly from Italy may be a fan favorite, but it's not a favorite because it actually tastes good. It's usually a favorite of people who want to trick their friends or family into thinking it will be good and then watch the disgust on their faces when they actually taste it!
I hope you enjoy your visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort...it's right around the corner! Be sure to stay hydrated throughout your trip and savor every magical moment.
Reach out again if you have any other questions!
Everything the light touches is our kingdom,
Matt
