Refillable mugs-drinks?

[Simba's Mom]

What options do they have for beverages for refillable mugs? Are most resorts using the freestyle machines so you have a wide variety of soft drinks? Also, what I'm more concerned with is what other options besides soft drinks are there? Fruit juice? Coffee? Iced Tea? Hot tea? Anything else?

Which resort? They are pretty much the same but w resort we can link you to resort food court (or what is available) for your resort. When are you going?

I'm going in July. It's a split stay between 2 resorts, Kidani and GF. I'm especially interested in iced tea-in the summertime, that's my go-to drink and also fruit juices.

No fruit juices. I did get hot chocolate at Yacht Club in Feb. It was kind of make-your-own. They gave me hot water in a cup and a packet of mix. I asked for a second packet which they gave me. I then sat at a table and mixed it up. Yacht had the freestyle machines, but of course a cm had to pour the dink in a paper cup and hand it to me.

Hot chocolate in July? I don't think so. Maybe for my January trip. In July I'll be looking for iced tea.

At the Grand Floridian they have one of those soda machines that has a bazillion different flavors. The kind where you can get Sprite and then add a flavor to it etc... They have lemonades and powerades etc... as well.

It seems like I have had Iced Tea in the past, but can’t recall where. I am not sure if I saw that most recently.

thanks this sounds like so much fun when I’m at VGF. I can see myself spending a lot of time with my refillable mug, trying all kinds of flavored Sprite options.

The machine at Gasparilla Grill was not self service when we were there. A CM filled up a paper cup with your choice of soda and handed to us. We also visited Riviera, Beach Club, Boardwalk, Poly and Contemporary QSs during our trip and the process was the same at each of them. Perhaps it has changed recently.

Most of them had unsweetened iced tea dispenser. All have coffee and hot water for tea. Powerade, lemonade and Hi-C are common but I have never seen fruit juice.

Thanks, I think you just verified for me that I can use my refillable mug at any resort's QS. Although I'm staying at VGF, I plan to eat at all the monorail QSs, and even Riviera's. Since I'll be on an ECV, with a big rear basket, I figured I could toss my refillable mug into my basket, and get free soda at all those resort QSs.
Also, I'd forgotten about lemonade-another good "hot weather" beverage.

I think Pop had a Gold Peak iced tea dispenser with a few different flavors, not sure if they still do or if other resorts have it.

Yep, refillable mug can be used at all resort locations!

Just keep in mind that there will be 1 CM filling drinks for everyone.

Most freestyle machines have been limited in flavors/options to speed up the process.
