Disney World Resort hotels offer Disney Refillable Mugs for guests to purchase and use for free refills throughout their vacation! Here, we are answering the most Frequently Asked Questions about the Disney World Resort Refillable Mug Program.

Disney Refillable Mugs Overview

“Refillable mugs” are 16 oz. insulated coffee mugs sold at Disney hotels in the Resort’s primary Counter Service location. Guests are entitled to unlimited free refills on fountain drinks, coffee, and tea from participating beverage locations at Disney resorts for their length of stay up to 14 days.

The Rapid Fill program allows Disney Resort guests to buy a Resort mug that can be refilled for a certain period of time, as designated at the time of purchase. Guests participating in the Disney Dining Plan also receive one per person as part of the package.

These mugs are enhanced by an RFID bar code which enables the mug to deactivate when the designated time is complete.

Mugs used to be considered collectibles, with each Disney resort offering unique patterns for their mugs. But starting with the Year of a Million Dreams, the mugs have been standardized no matter where you purchase them. That said, there are occasional changes in design.

What do the current mugs look like?

The most recent Refillable Mug made its debut in December 2023.

These mugs feature Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy going on a road trip to Disney World. (Woo hoo!)

You’ll also see Disney hotels in the background, like the Grand Floridian and Contemporary.

The current design features green, blue, orange, and pink lid choices to help your group more easily discern which cup belongs to whom.

You may also find a design featuring Pixar Pals with a pink or green lid.

In the past, we’ve seen seasonal variations such as Halloween and Happy Holidays mugs (though non-seasonal mugs remain a choice for those who don’t wish to bring home a seasonal mug).

Disney Refillable Mug FAQ

How much do Refillable Mugs cost?

Refillable mugs are available for one flat price of $22.99 for the length of resort stay of up to 14 days, no matter how many days.

The most recent price increase happened in October 2024.

I’m on a Disney Dining Plan. How do I get my mug? 

Guests participating in the Disney Dining Plan may pick up their Resort Refillable Mug at any Resort Hotel’s Quick Service restaurant (even if they aren’t staying at that particular Resort). The My Disney Experience app tracks all of your Disney Dining Plan credits as well as the redemption of your Refillable Resort Mug, as seen in the screenshot below:

In our example above, you can see that our Dining Plan participant has redeemed 1 Table Service Meal and 1 Snack, but still has TWO Refillable Resort Mugs to pick up (one per guest on the reservations; the meals are tracked by the individual guest.) All Disney Dining Plan participants have to do is pick up a Refillable Resort Mug, bring it to a cast member at a register, and they will walk through the redemption process from there!

I’m resort hopping. Do I need to purchase a new mug at my second resort?

Nope! Refillable Resort Mugs may be filled at ANY participating Resort beverage station, even if you aren’t staying there (or staying at two or more different Resorts during your trip, commonly referred to as a “split stay”).

This benefit is good for the length of your entire trip, up to 14 days, regardless of resort/resort.

What beverages are available for Disney Refillable Mug refills?

You can have your mug refilled with coffee, iced or hot tea, soda, and hot chocolate.

*COOL INFO:* It’s interesting to note that most refillable mug stations have some sort of Hi-C lemonade/fruit punch option OR red/blue Powerade.

What beverages aren’t available for Disney Refillable Mug refills?

Most notably, milk and “real” fruit juice (e.g. no OJ or Apple Juice).

Will they refill my frozen margarita at the pool bar?

No. But you get points for creativity.

BONUS! Select pool bars — including Petals Pool Bar at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, The Drop Off Pool Bar at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, and Banana Cabana Pool Bar at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort  — have 24/7 refill stations.

EXTRA BONUS! And select Resort hotels — including The Market at Ale & Compass (at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort), and Primo Piatto at Disney’s Riviera Resort —  feature Coke Freestyle machines!

(Remember: you do NOT have to be staying at a specific Resort to refill your mug there!)

Check with your resort front desk to make sure you know all the locations where you can get refills at your hotel.

May I only use the Disney Refillable Mug at my resort?

No. Mugs may be used at any Disney-owned resort on property.

While you can’t use your resort mug in the parks (unless you’re getting water), you CAN purchase refillable mugs in the water parks — Disney’s Blizzard Beach and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon. These have their own unique design and shape, as seen in the example below.

Can I save my mug when I get home and bring it back to use on all my subsequent Disney trips?
No. The RFID chip will not function (and, at this time, cannot be reactivated) on your next vacation.

Okay. So, how do the RFID bar codes work?

You can find our step-by-step directions for the process here.

Any other cool stuff you should tell us about the Disney refillable mug program?

YES! Each self-service refillable mug location has a MUG WASH!

That’s right — there’s a little sink right next to the soda-pop dispensers that you can use to wash out your mug. Comes in very handy when switching between your drinks of choice…say between Coffee and Powerade?
