Hi there, Karen! It's great to see you again at planDisney. I'm so glad that I get to help you once again--it's great when someone chooses to be our Guest on more than one occasion. I hope the information we've been supplying is helping get you prepared for a truly magical trip "Home" this fall!
As someone who dearly loves to have all of the particulars of my
Walt Disney World Resort vacations planned and triple-checked well before departure, I appreciate that you're thinking about all of the details that make a trip seamless. It sounds like you may have a
Disney dining plan associated with your October reservation--I'm sure you were just as excited as I was when Disney brought dining plans back earlier this year!
One of the great perks of the dining plans is the iconic Resort Refillable Mug. These are a terrific bargain, allowing Guests to enjoy unlimited refills of soda, coffee, or tea at self-service beverage stations located at all of the Disney
Resort Hotels. The mugs also make a great souvenir to bring a little bit of Disney magic home with you.
Karen, there is not a beverage station in the DVC section of the Beach Club. However, you'll find it's a very short walk (I mapped it at 121 feet from the main entrance of the Villas!) to the
Beach Club Marketplace, which services the entire resort. The Marketplace offers quick-service dining options throughout the day, including a beverage station for a quick refill.
It's good to know that Resort Refillable Mugs are not eligible for free refills in the theme parks. However, I like to bring mine and keep it filled with water to stay hydrated throughout the day!
The countdown to your vacation is on, Karen, and I'm sure you are getting excited about your trip. It's been a pleasure to work with you again--please don't hesitate to
reach out again if I can help with any additional questions that may arise!
Stay Magical!
Susan
