SW refillable cup

[Claire Bear]

Me again. Just read on SW/DC thread that you can buy one refillable cup which you can pay to refill in US/ IOA / DC / SW and AQ. Has anyone actually done this? Sounds too good to be true!

 

[willeve]

I think there is one for Seaworld/Busch/Aquatica and then a different one for Universal/IOA. Don't think you can use one for all parks.

 

[Claire Bear]

That's what I thought but then I read it on that thread so I was confused!

 

[Claire Bear]

This is from the thread on the DC/SW thread:

Yes they can be refilled at Aquatica. Just did it in March. You can refill them at SW, BG,AQ,IOA, & US.

We did it one year at Universal when we stayed 3 nights. I think they are something like $7.99 to buy then 99c to refill.
I prefer to take bottles of iced water into the parks, I buy a gallon of water for $1.99, refill bottles and freeze each night or buy 24 bottles for $3-4.

Didn't know about taking it to SW & Aquatica.

Wrong parks but we did a test this time how much drink you actually get in a Disney soda. We took some bottles of drink in with us then asked for cups of ice. They gave us regular sized cups filled with ice, we poured in the drink from a 500ml bottle, could only fit in about 125-150ml. Reason when we do buy Disney drinks we always ask for no ice, they are always cold enough without and you get about 3 times the aount for your money.

We always ask for fountain drinks with no ice, even in this country

And us

And us

Add us to that too. I like to make sure they actually fill it to the top too when they try to make up for not putting ice in it

24 bottle of water for $3-4 dollars! That's cheap! Much better idea, thank you. Do you know if there's a shop near SpringHill Suites SeaWorld. I think I read there was somewhere but I haven't written it in my Florida notebook!

When at WDW you can ask for cups of ice water, then you don't have to carry around the bottles at all.

We stayed at springhill suites seaworld and there is a shop literally in the carpark! I can't remember the exact name but it was Walgreens type pharmacy that sold everything, also across the rd from that was what they would we would call a mini market another place that sold holiday souvenirs plus water and other confectionary type items

Don't like the taste unfortunately, prefer bottled but if we run out of bottled its better than the water fountains.

it is pretty yukky the fountain water. We can just about tollerate it if its ice cold but its not that often you can find it in the fountains. We buy those little low cal sachets from Walmart that are the correct size for adding to water bottles or two wdw mugs. They come in a few flavours, my fav is the cherry and dh is the lemonade, and we carry a couple of them about just incase we have to resort to refilling from a CS restaurant with non bottled water!! They are very cheap and a great standby in the parks. Or we go out of the parks and use our mugs in a resort hotel..

I have refillable cups for Universal and SeaWorld. Sometimes I buy soda refills, but their drinks stations will fill your cups with ice water free. It is worth it to bring my cups back for that alone. They are very large cups, and water fountains at Universal never seem to have cold water.

Did you buy a cup in each park? It was just that I read about a cup you can use at both Seaworld and universal? Thanks

I don't know if you can buy one cup, we had bought two and they are a few years old now.
