What a fun question,
Alicia! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face with this query.
I love the Disney refillable resort mugs so incredibly much. They are durable, practical and whimsical. Most days I head out the door to work, I have my school books in one hand and a Disney refillable mug full of hot tea in the other hand. Sitting that mug on my desk at work simply makes me happy as it instantly reminds me of family vacations and good times at my favorite vacation destination in the whole world.
I have good news for you regarding the mugs. While you do receive a free refillable mug with the purchase of a
Disney Dining Plan, you don't need to participate in the Disney Dining Plan to buy a mug. When you go into the food court or quick service restaurant at the
Walt Disney World Resort hotel you'll call home on your next trip, you'll find dozens of new refillable mugs near the cash register for purchase. Just buy one (or more!) and you can enjoy free refills at your hotel (and the other Disney hotels) for the length of your stay. (Please note that the mugs are not refillable in the theme parks.)
Wishing you many magical memories and tasty beverages,
Jill
PS. If you don't see the lid color you prefer when you enter the food court or quick service restaurant at your hotel, just ask the Cast Members who work there. They may have additional options in the back.
