Refillable Mugs

All of the Walt Disney World resort food courts offer special refillable insulated mugs. These can be purchased for a one-off fee (currently $14.49 plus tax) and can then be refilled at the resort’s drinks fountain station as often as you like for the duration of your stay. Note: you are not meant to take them back for further free refills during subsequent stays.

The mugs used to be well-themed and would vary from resort to resort, but more recently all of the Walt Disney World resorts have offered just one standardised generic design which is changed roughly once a year. The current refillable mugs are plain white on their tapered lower half, with the top half having a Mickey image on a dark/red background. There are red, yellow or black handle/lid options.

Your payment only allows you to refill your mug at the resort at which it was purchased (which would include the food courts at both Port Orleans resorts in this case) and only during your current stay — however quite how that can be enforced prior to the next change of design is unclear. Also, just how strictly this policy is enforced at all seems to be a matter for some debate, but those are the official rules.

Before around 2000 the mugs were sold on a “perpetually refillable” basis, so if you still happen to have an older desgin — even dating back to the old Port Orleans/Dixie Landings days — then Disney should permit you to refill it based on the terms under which it was originally sold. Let’s put it this way, I’ve yet to see anyone tackled by a cast member on the subject, even with a fifteen year old mug... but don’t hold me to that!
