  • Self-Serve Beverage Stations Finally Reopen at Disney World

    Self-Serve Beverage Stations Finally Reopen at Disney World

    As Disney begins to relax their COVID-19 safety procedures, guests are now allowed to use self-service stations to fill their refillable mugs again.

    Disney changed their website to reflect the new protocol as you can see below:

    “Some self-serve beverage stations—which allow for Guests to fill and refill their own beverages—are available at select quick-service restaurants located in Walt Disney World theme parks and Disney Resort hotels,” Disney added to their website.

    Blizzard Beach has been allowing guests to refill their own beverages since it reopened in March, however, since Disney World reopened last summer guests at other Disney World locations had to be served by Cast Members.

  • Refillable Mug Price Increases at Disney World

    Refillable Mug Price Increases at Disney World

    $18.99. That’s right, your favorite Walt Disney World Resort Rapid Fill refillable mug has just gone up in price… Again. Okay, so it only went up a dollar, but it’s a pretty steep price at nearly twenty bucks.

    Originally they had pricing tiers depending on how many days you were staying, which was nice for guest who were only staying a day or two, but since May 2015 only a “length of stay” option has been available.

    As the name implies, the Length of Stay price is the same regardless of whether your Resort stay is one night, two weeks, or any length of time in between. Guests are entitled to unlimited free refills on fountain drinks, coffee, and tea from self-service beverage locations at Disney resorts for their length of stay.

    Refillable mugs are provided to guests that have purchased one of the Disney Dining Plans, but for other guests the price for a refillable mug is now $18.99 for the length of stay.

    The mugs can be refilled with fountain beverages, coffee, and tea at any resort self-service beverage location. The refillable mugs are purchased or redeemed at the quick service location at each Disney resort. You will find different colors to choose from. The cast member will activate the mug and then you are able to use it at the Rapid Fill location, which is also usually also located inside the quick service location, or in some cases the resort gift shop. You hold your cup under your drink selection of choice and it will fill up the cup.

    Comment below if you remember the days before the RFID chip when people would just bring their favorite mug and fill it up as they pleased?
