How to use the Rapid Fill Mug stations

We recently received an email from a reader who will be taking their first trip to Disney. Her family will be on the Disney Dining Plan so they’ll be receiving the Resort mug with their package. She wasn’t sure how these mugs worked and had questions about them. We thought we’d share with you as well what we told her about how to use the Rapid Fill mug stations.  This might be useful for those of you that haven’t been since the Resort mug fill stations changed.

The Disney Rapid Fill stations can be found in the food courts, quick-service locations and pool bars at all Disney Resort hotels. Click here for a full list of locations.

The mugs can be filled with coffee, iced and hot tea, hot chocolate and a variety of soft drinks. Choices vary by location but may include: Coca-Cola, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Cherry Coke, Sprite, Sprite Zero, Minute Maid Lemonade, Minute Maid Lemonade Light, Minute Maid Pomegranate Lemonade Light, Fanta Orange, Hi-C Pink Lemonade, Barq’s Rootbeer, Red Powerade and Blue Powerade.

You’ll place your cup on the tray underneath the beverage of your choice. If your mug isn’t on the tray, or properly placed, the Rapid Fill screen will notify you. Once you’ve properly placed your mug, you’ll press the button for the beverage (or beverages – if you like to mix) of your choice. While your beverage is filling the Rapid Fill screen will let you know what date you can refill your mug through. Once it’s finished filling your mug the screen will say “Fill Complete”.

You’ll have two minutes between refills. If you try to refill before your allotted time, it will notify you have how long you have before your next refill.

Disney does change the images and colors of the mugs. The mugs pictured above are the new 2014 Disney Rapid Fill mugs.
