Dining Plan, Refillable Mug Questions

[PrinceOfPeace]

Can anyone help me with the following questions, in regards to the 'refillable mugs' that come with the dining plan:

1. Are there any healthier choices of beverages, other than 'sugar free'? We are not a soda-drinking family...unless there is Root Beer!...which leads to my next question.

2. What kind/brand of Root Beer is offered? We like something with 'no high fructose corn syrup'.

3. Where do you 'refill' the cups? Resorts only?

4. Are there any limitations to the refilling?

5. Are there any 'tricks' with the refillable mugs....that are not breaking the rules? i.e. mixology, or lemon slices and such....hope I'm making sense.

Thank you!

Are there any healthier choices of beverages, other than 'sugar free'? We are not a soda-drinking family...unless there is Root Beer!...which leads to my next question.

Milk and juices are not offered. There is iced tea, you may be able to get that unsweetened. Coffee and hot tea are available also.

What kind/brand of Root Beer is offered? We like something with 'no high fructose corn syrup'.

If root beer is offered (it's not at every resort) it will be Barq's. Disney carries only Coca-Cola products.

Where do you 'refill' the cups? Resorts only?

Yes, resorts only.

Are there any limitations to the refilling?

No.

Are there any 'tricks' with the refillable mugs....that are not breaking the rules? i.e. mixology, or lemon slices and such....hope I'm making sense.

Sorry. I'm not clear on the question. If they have lemon slices on the drink bar you can put one in your drink, if that's what you're asking.

Regarding "mixology", at the places with self dispensers, you can combine any of the allowable beverages you want (e.g., half ice tea, half root beer). Depending on where you get your mug, there may not be a self dispenser, so "mixology" is harder.

Soda, iced tea, coffee. If they have root beer, it would be regular -- the only diet I've seen, is diet coke.

Some resorts also have Coke Zero, some have Sprite Zero. When I have seen root beer, it has not been diet root beer.

RE: Mixology...

Is it legal under Florida and Disney law to mix in alcohol to your refillable mug?

Rum and Coke by the pool sounds nice!

 

[TDC Nala]

If you bring your own alcohol, yes. There is no prohibition about putting alcohol in your mug. You might also be able to buy a shot at the bar and put it in your mug.

No glass bottles at the pool so just make sure your rum is in a plastic bottle and you are good to go!

I don't like to drink soda but they have Gold Peak unsweetened iced tea for the mugs. I drink gallons of that stuff to keep up my energy for the parks.

Just a note: Barq's has high fructose corn syrup AND caffeine

I remember seeing unsweet iced tea, hot tea, coffee, coke zero and a diet lemonade (which I thought tasted awful).

There is usually one tab at each drink station that allows you to get carbonated soda water. It's a small tab below a regular soda dispenser that dispenses carbonated water. We drink more of this than any other option when we're at WDW. All of the fizz of soda without the sugar and other bad stuff.

I've seen at pop century apple juice on the lines, is that gone now?

Yes, it is gone now.

we keep a stash of liquor in our room...love to put a shot of rum or vodka in our mugs & then fill up with whatever soda would mix well. We also take a couple of flavored liqueurs...love mixing those with Sprite zero.
