We gave up buying them for many years unless we happen to be a short walk to dispenser. But at some DVCs by the time you want back to room you are thirsty again. So we would just buy soda, water, coffee for room. Last trip with scooter we bought on. With the basket it's not like we have to carry it all day. Fill it up coming and going. Still get stuff for room, but you have more choice with machine.
