Does Epcot have refillable mugs?

[jmb910]

I thought I read a while back that Epcot offered refillable mugs. I think you could get them at the Electric Umbrella.

Do they still do this? If so, can anyone give me some more details?

Do they offer them during Food and Wine?

Price? Refill locations?

Thank you!

Sorry,Epcot does not offer refillable mugs like the WDW Resorts do.The Electric Umbrella has a Beverage station with free refills for THAT visit to the restaurant ONLY.

Oh, I wonder if that's what I was thinking and I got them mixed up. Thank you!

Sunshine Seasons at the Land pavillion also offers free refills.

Hopefully it is just an exception to the rule,but there is a report from a Guest who was told that refills were not free at Sunshine Seasons as they were passing by the Cashiers on their way to the Beverage station.

Hopefully it was just a misunderstanding of the rules on the CM's part, because it doesn't make sense to me to put the drink machines out where the guests can access them, but then not allow refills. Plus, how would the CMs know who's getting refills and who's filling up for the first time? They might assume that someone coming from the seating area is getting a refill, but I like to take my tray to a table first, then come back for the drink so that I'm not trying to balance a full drink on my tray.

We refilled our drinks at the Electric umbrella,the counter food court near to Indiana Jones at the studios ( can not believe I have forgot the name) and McDonalds at Down town Disney too.
We did not do it to save money, but rather that I do like to get my coffee after a meal.

I thought if the drink machine is not behind the cash regsiter and where the food is made like it is at Cosmic Ray's Stralight Cafe, then it's ok for guests to get refills. That's what my family and I have done in the past at Electric Umbrella and Earl of Sandwich.

I have gotten refills many times at Earl of Sandwich and never been told otherwise .

Me too.The only difference is that at Sunshine Seasons,the Cashiers are in a separate area from the food preparation area and you have to go back by the Cashiers to get to the beverage area.It seems like refills still shoud be free.

Great point.Hopefully,it is not policy and was an isolated incident.

Either bring a water bottle with you (full or empty) or buy a water. Then fill it with water from drinking fountains and bring those little single serving mixes of your favorite drink...shake and drink!

That's what it sounds like to me based on how you said it.
