Disney needs to steal this idea from Universal.

Just back from a 5 day trip to Universal with the wife and 10 year old son. Disney really needs to steal the refillable cup idea from Universal. $20 for the initial purchase, $13 a day to reactivate and you could get a fill every 10 minutes. With the Coke Freestyle machines in many places in the parks and Citywalk, the three of us were properly hydrated without spending an arm and a leg. I know they have it for the resorts, but give me something similar for the parks. It's still a profit center as even filling 15 times a day isn't more than $2 in actual supply cost. Very little plastic waste, and no straws needed.

They actually GIVE you one cup, or you use the same one? Not sure I want to be carrying around a cup all day in amusement park. If it is fact the same cup being refilled that is pretty unsanitary. On their cruise ships Disney requires a NEW clean cup.

Universal and Disney don’t require purchase of such packages to get water at its Freestyle machines… it’s good to have a break from the s***r in the other Coke products…

You use the same cup. Below is the same one that I got. I cleaned it out at the end of each day and had no issues.

Agreed, out of the probably 40 fills I used my cup for this week, only one had sugar in it. Everything else was sugar free as I'm a diabetic. Nice to have choices other than diet coke and coke zero. I was able to get root beer, cream soda, pibb, and Sprite.

On cruises they are trying to fight outbreaks. Local amusement parks do the same as Universal. Disney water parks used to offer these. I say used to as I’m not certain if they still do.

Royal only gives one cup.

Cleaning it daily is not the issue. It would need to be cleaned between each fill up.

I agree, Universal's is a much better value than Disney's resort mugs IMO.
