How The Rapid Refill Mugs Work During Covid-19

First, an apology. I'm still here! We started virtual learning and it's been tricky to find our groove because our internet keeps going crazy! I'm long overdue here! 

Have you been wondering about the Rapid Refill mugs? Are the Disney resorts still doing them? How does it work? What should you expect? 

I've got all the details for you, from our recent trip there. 

The Rapid Refill Mugs ARE still for sale. We still feel they are a value. They are located within the gift shop, at the price of $19.99 plus tax. An available upgrade for an extra $10 is the Star Wars mug. Disappointingly, after buying one we realized those are NOT dishwasher safe. 

The process of getting your mug refilled is a little different, but it's not bad. 

First, after activating your mug, you'll let a cast member know you want to fill it. There are two drink stations active, and each has a cast member there behind a table. 
​

The dots on the floor are to maintain social distancing. On the table are a variety of the drinks. Some, like tea or coffee you'll need to ask for. Everything is labeled. You just show your mug and grab your drink. 

Straws are available from the cast members, and here's the exciting part...sometimes there are LIDS on the cups! We saved ours to take for drinks in the park, so they wouldn't slosh out as we were walking. 

We loved the new paper cup, too! Aren't they pretty? I saved one to bring back. Yes, I'm weird.

Sometimes the lines were very long for drinks, but that was usually at the dinner hour. The rest of the time it was walk up and go. It's nice some things are still the same!
