We never have before either, but they’re not resort specific anymore. If you have split stays like we do, you can use it the whole time. So we’re buying them this time.IMHO from our experience we didn't buy them, being tied to the hotel didn't make sense for us we had better value picking up some bottles or half rack of soda off property.
Last year we were down for 3 weeks and after the first 14 days you bring the mug back to cashier and they can extend the duration .
Agreed! Does anyone know if AKL has a Freestyle machine?Just out of curiosity how many resorts have the Freestyle Machines? I feel the mug is best valued with the Freestyle Machine
It does not. YC, CBR, POFQ do have them.Agreed! Does anyone know if AKL has a Freestyle machine?
Beach Club Marketplace had one last time I visited, but it was Feb 2020... hopefully it'll still be there at the end of this month.It does not. YC, CBR, POFQ do have them.

Oh no! We love Vanilla Coke here and most of the value of the refillable mugs in our last trip was the feeling of being in Club Cool and trying new flavors of everything. Thanks for reporting though... I'll know now to expect everything regular for our next.Well, it didn't have one 2 weeks ago, when I stayed there. I'm glad you mentioned it though. When I got at BCV, I thought I remembered a Freestyle Machine from my last stay there in the fall of 2019. When there wasn't one, I was a little confused, figured I must have a bad memory.
When we were there in April 2021 BC Marketplace had them and also GF had one. But this was also at the time where they filled it for you because of COVID. So maybe they got rid so less touch points?Well, it didn't have one 2 weeks ago, when I stayed there. I'm glad you mentioned it though.

I think I read somewhere that the BC Freestyles are the machines that moved to YC. You can still get your Vanilla Coke, you just have to walk a bit farther.Oh no!

Good to know that we still have an option. Thank you for posting.I think I read somewhere that the BC Freestyles are the machines that moved to YC. You can still get your Vanilla Coke, you just have to walk a bit farther.
When we visit in the August heat we get our money back by the end of the first day.Does anyone know what the current price is for a refillable mug? Recently, I thought I read that soft drinks increased in price to over $4 per drink. That means that you'd only need 5 drinks (not in parks) to break even, based on what refillable mugs cost just 6 months ago, just $20.
