Looking for a memorable souvenir from your Disney World trip? Look no further than the refillable resort mug! And guess what? You don’t even have to be staying on property to snag one – I’ve grabbed mine at a resort when I have been staying both on and off property. ✨

At $21.99 plus tax, you might raise an eyebrow at the price tag. But trust me, when you tally up the cost of individual drinks during your vacation, it’s a no-brainer. Just think about it: one soda alone can set you back around $5 each time. With the resort mug, after just five refills, you’ve already hit the break-even point. So if you foresee yourself enjoying five or more sodas (or coffees), it’s a no-brainer to invest in one. However, if you’re only popping by the resort briefly, maybe to check it out, the mug might not maximize its value. But hey, if you’re eyeing it because it’s adorable and you want to take it home as a keepsake, go for it! Plus, these cups offer two weeks of refill privileges from the purchase date, so you’ve got plenty of time to make the most of it. 🥤💰

When I stayed off-property, I’d hop on the monorail to Magic Kingdom, take a pit stop at the resort loop for a soda, and then head to the park. It was a fantastic way to explore different resorts while adding a unique twist to my Disney trip. Plus, I was on a mission to collect the Disney 100 medallions, so grabbing a refill while on the hunt was a bonus. 🚝🏰

On-property stays were even more convenient – grabbing a morning coffee or a midday soda became a breeze. And here’s a tip for anyone buying the mug: invest in a carabiner clip. This nifty little gadget allows you to attach your empty cup to your backpack, freeing up space while ensuring you’ve got it handy for refills. 🎒

So, if you’re on the fence about whether a resort mug is worth it, I hope this insight helps you make an informed decision. ✨
