Take a look at this table of food. Now that is a good-looking meal, right? We’ve got egg rolls, rice, and even a cookies and cream parfait. Everybody loves a parfait! So, where can a person procure such a meal? Over at Yak & Yeti at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
We’re calling it the Yak and Yeti Universe because you can enjoy a quick-service meal at the Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafes, a sit-down meal inside at Yak & Yeti, AND shop for some fun souvenirs at the nearby Yak & Yeti gift shop. They’ve got it ALL! In fact, you can even get an exclusive refillable souvenir — let’s check it out!
As you may know, Disney World hotels offer refillable mugs that you can use throughout your vacation. These are plastic cups with snap-on lids, and they hold a good amount of liquid. One of these will cost you $21.99.
Sure, these cups are nice and all, but we’ve always wanted a Disney World PARK-specific version to, you know, spice things up. Our collection is looking a little stale.
Well, our wish was granted! Over at Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafes, you can get a refillable park mug! This one is a refillable 40 oz. Yak & Yeti tumbler. It’s $31 for the initial purchase, and it’s refillable all day for free. Then, if you bring the tumbler back another day, additional refills will only cost you $2.12 for the entire day. That’s not a bad deal, eh? Make sure to show your receipt to prove the date that you purchased your mug! (We recommend taking a picture of the receipt to make things easier.) The deal is only available at Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafes.
This is reason #176302 that we LOVE Yak & Yeti. The Local Food Cafe has some GREAT hidden gems, like our beloved Mini Mango Pie. If you’ve never had it — GET IT!
Even the nearby gift shop is loaded with unique items! You never know what you might find here.
Of course, we have to talk about the sit-down restaurant, too! Yak & Yeti serves some GREAT food, like the Kobe Beef Burger and the Kalbi Beef Kabobs!
If you’re looking for an excuse to go to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, this might be it. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.

Not much of a deal–one park, one restaurant
Kenneth phillysub says
I’ll just stay with my resort refillable – good at any resort for the length of my stay.
Amanda Harrington says
Wait is this for use in any park?? Or just AK??
Audrey Feitor says
I was wondering this too…you can only refill it at Yak & Yeti? Hopefully not, as that doesn’t make sense.
MICHAL BEAN says
Never purchased a Disney World refillable tumbler. Have several non refillable plastic cups mugs tumblers dating back 30 years or so.
Question the Yak and Yeti tumble is that metal or plastic. It looks metal (like another unnamed popular tumble) in the picture.
Raquel says
So is it $2.12 once for the entire day or each time you go get a drink?
Tom Patton says
We were just there and we got one.
The mug is great, it really holds drinks cold, and its cool looking.
As far as the deal, overall it is a good deal if you will be spending a few days at AK, amd don’t mind trekking back and forth to Y&Y for refills. We you get refill, they will give you a paper cup with the soda you want. So not truly environmentally conscious, because that cup can’t be recycled. Overall I am glad we got it, it did save us some money, by just refilling with soda instead of spending $5 each time.

Hi Raquel! It’s $2.12 for the entire day for unlimited refills so you’d just pay the $2.12 one time, but make sure you hold on to your receipt because you will have to show it every time.
DFB Gigi says
Hi Michal! It’s metal. 🙂
DFB Gigi says
Hi Audrey! Yes, you can only refill this one at Yak & Yeti.
DFB Gigi says
Hi Amanda! This deal is only for Yak & Yeti specifically so it’s just that one restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Nathan Astbury says
As of 5
Today the yak and yeti decided to cancel this refillable aspect and it is now only a one time purchase. Not happy about this position
Ryan says
Not a great deal if you can’t use it elsewhere. I’m not paying that much for the mug and then $2 for refills/day. Is it a nice looking mug? Yes. Worth it? No.
