How Do Disney Refillable Mugs Work?

The Disney World refillable mugs are very simple to use, just like magic you can have a beverage in your cup. At any of the Disney Resort hotels, Quick Service locations will have a self-service beverage area to redeem your refills.

The Disney refillable mug is extremely simple to use. Just follow these steps:

1. Locate your closest refilling station
2. Hold your cup to the dispenser, and place the bottom on the platform
3. The platform will then scan your cup
4. Your favorite drink will then be dispensed until your cup is full

The most important part of this process is the RFID chip on the bottom of your Disney World refillable cup. Make sure the cup is placed on the platform and your chip can be scanned. If nothing is coming there is a good chance it has to do with the RFID chip.

How long are Disney refillable mugs good for?

Once you purchase and activate your refillable cups for Disney World, they will be valid for the entire length of your stay. So, you will not have to worry about activating your Disney souvenir cup more than once on your Disney vacation.

Can I bring my Disney refillable cup back to Disney World?

Unfortunately, you cannot bring your old mug back and reactivate it for another trip. The RFID chip that is placed in the bottom of the mugs to track refills cannot last that long, which makes them only good for the vacation you buy them on.

How can I track the days left on my Disney Mug?

Each filling station will have a small screen, which will show how many days are left on your refillable Disney cups use. Just like magic, each Resort Disney refillable mug station has sensors on the cup holders that scan your cup as you fill. Right on the machine it will tell you how many days you have left to use WDW refillable mugs.

No, unfortunately, you cannot. It’s important to note that you can take your filled Disney refillable mug into the parks. The downside of this is that you will have to carry around your mug all day, not to mention clean out whatever beverage was in it before throwing it in your backpack.

We find that you are better off going with a reusable water bottle or paper cup if you’re planning on carrying a beverage with you in the morning.
