Refillable cup/mug options?

[ArielRae]

Can anyone tell me what the current refillable cup/mug options are. I saw there are pricier souvenir mugs and I am guessing there are cheaper basic mugs. Is there a size/ounce difference? Where would you recommend we pick up a refillable mug for the day at either park?

Sorry, wrong park. I saw the Velocicoaster metal ones, some AP ones and then they had a newer park plastic one (cheapest option). With the freestyle machines all over, they seem a good value.
If you have an AP, you can get the BOGO deal on the AP ones. Mel's Diner in UO had the AP ones. The others are available throughout the park. I'm sure IOA has them as well somewhere.

As far as size, I think they are all close to the same amount. All are pretty big (bigger than the Disney ones).

Anyone have a current photo of the basic cheapest refillable mug option?

Looking at the article posted above I see the universal souvenir cup for $16.00 and another photo with the same cups says $8.99 drink all day with purchase of souvenir cup. So is it $16.00 for the cup with refills included or is it $16.00 for the cup plus paying $8.99 for the drink all day option added to that cup for a total of $24.99? If it is the $24.99 that is a lot for a cup and drinks for the day. How much does that cup hold? Is there a cheaper option for drink all day cups with refills included for the day in the price?

You can get a "regular" plastic cup that looks like this:



It's $15.99 for one, $14.99 each if you buy 2, or $12.99 each if you buy 3 or more. It comes with the free refills for the day. And you can bring it back on subsequent days at re-activate it for the day of free refills for $8.99

So with the freestyle cup you can only use it at the freestyle machines? You cannot use it at the quick service places for fountain drinks, correct? Idk why but I was thinking you could get free icees with it too. Obviously too good to be true. My kid would love it tho

We've used the Freestyle cups on 2 or 3 trips. We've have them refilled at quick services places without issue. We've been offered icee refills, but have never tried that.

You can absolutely get icee's. Bonus is that the Icee locations can't seem to tell that if it has been 10 minutes since your last refill. So, in the Seuss area we get a Diet Coke from the machine and dump it into an extra cup that we brought. Immediately get in line for an orange icee. Then I pour half of that into a third cup. Then I top off the cup of icee with Diet Coke because I like the blend. DD likes the straight Icee and DH likes the Diet Coke. Everyone is happy.

Is the BOGO deal only for the top AP levels, or is it available to all AP levels? Also, if we were to use this, is it possible to activate them on different days?
