Free Drink Refills?

[SnoopyB]

At the Quick Service places in the parks and DTD do you get free drink refills, where they give you a cup and you fill up as often as you like at drink station? Or is it strictly bottled drinks?

thanks

You get a soda fountain drinks but there are no free refills. You have to buy a whole other drink if you want it refilled. Sorry

Actually, I have heard plenty of reports that at EoS you can (or you could in the past, if this has changed) get free soda fountain refills. I can't speak from experience because the drinks are too large for me to finish. I can't imagine anyone eating a meal, a dessert and still knocking back two Disney sized sodas, but apparently it can/could be done. Of course whether this is/was actually officially acceptable is another story.

EOS is the only CS place that has the soda fountain in the sitting area.
All the park's CS, the fountain is behind the counter.

At WPE, you can have free refills. They come around and ask you and go refill it for you. Very cool.

Backlot Express at Hollywood Studios had the serve yourself soda machines when I was there in May so you could refill yourself. I believe that Electric Umbrella in Epcot also has the serve yourself fountains but I didn't eat there my last trip. I'm not sure which other CS in the parks have the serve yourself fountains. My last trip was a short one so I didn't get to check most of my local CS favorites. Most of the resort food courts are fill it yourself so you can refill although you are suppose to purchase the refillable mug for that. So the simple answer is it all depends upon where you eat.

Some CS inside parks offer drink stations for refills.

There are none in MK for sure and I can't recall any in AK.

Thanks. One more drink question.

Do all the QS places sell bottled water? I was looking at menus and not all of them list water under the drinks list. I was hoping to be able to get bottled water using dessert credit to carry around park.

When I went, I don't remember any place not selling bottled water. It was record heat so that may have changed their standard operating procedure.

I think bottled water is standard, even at the carts.

We had free soda refills at Wolfgang puck at DTD, Backlot express at HS and electic umbrella at Epcot. Just help yourself to a refill.

I think E of Sandwich also did this but we didn't get a refill there so not 100% sure.

 

[bluejasmine]

I think not getting a free refill is ridiculous, they get it for free anyway! Geez you even get a free refill at Burger King!

I guess a good rule of thumb is, you can refill your drink if the fountain is available to you.

I'm remembering Restaurantosaurus also having a drink station last time we were there. Does anyone know for sure?

The only location at the parks where I have been to that you can get free refills is at Electric Umbrella in Epcot because they give you an empty cup and you fill it up yourself. I also know that's the way it's done at Earl of Sandwich in Downtown Disney Marketplace, all the resort counter service locations and anywhere else where you fill up the cups yourself.

Yes, Restaurantosaurus does give free refills also.

Sunshine Seasons you get your own drinks (they give you the cup)
