It's definitely worth it if you want coffee each morning & also if you plan to spend any time at your resort pool or plan to eat at your hotel quick service.
Can you buy these in the parks or are the refill cups only available at resorts? Going for the day for the first time on March 13 and would like to purchase a couple for the day.
Hi - unfortunately the mugs only work at the resorts. The only Disney parks that have refill mugs in them are the Water Parks and that's the only place you can use mugs purchased from there. This is the one thing IMO that Universal Studios does better - they have park mugs where you can use them between the two parks for Coca-Cola product refills AND Icees which is a huge perk in the Florida heat!
Not even close to being worth it. You can't refill the mug in the parks, so there's no point. If you go to Disneyworld you wanna go and spend time in the parks and you're gonna need that drink. Yet another Disneyworld money making scam
I don't agree. We've gotten really good use out of the refillable resort mugs when staying for longer trips on Disney hotel property. It's easy to calculate cost/value ratio if you take the cost of a soda/coffee/tea by the number of those drinks you'll have at the hotel x the number of days you're staying. It is too bad the mugs don't work in the parks (but they to work at all Disney's hotels so if you visit other resorts then bring your mug and fill up there). Neither Universal nor Disney let's you use their hotel refillable mugs in their respective theme parks but Universal has Disney beat with their theme park refillable mug because Disney doesn't have them. It gets so hot in the summer and at Universal you can get an ice cold soda or slushy refill all day long in the park for around $20 (cheaper if you buy more than 1 mug). $20 might seem like a lot but one soda is $4+ and one slushy is $6+. Then you can bring the mug back the next day and pay one all-day reactivation price (around $13) right now. Universal also has so many drink stands available in their parks. It's one of the few things I think Universal does better than Disney.
Not a scam for everyone. We visit and stay on site at Disney for around 17 nights so we get plenty of use out of ours, we fill them up in the mornings, when we return to the resort, and when we're at the pool (multiple times!).
Love the new mug colors. Like thst there is four choices
Thanks for your comment and I agree!
