We get it — Disney World is expensive. That’s why we always try to share our best tips and tricks on how to save money at the parks!
From telling you about free water (yes, we’ll mention it every chance we can get) to how to save on portable chargers to trip discounts, we’ll let you know when we spot great deals and ways to save a few bucks. And yes, we’ll even tell you how to save on food!
Well, today, we’ve got a money-saving tip for those of you who are Annual Passholders. We’re sure you know that you can save on merchandise you buy in the parks, but did you know you could save on beverages, too? Here’s the trick: buy all your bottled beverages at Joffrey’s locations or in merchandise shops!
At these locations, you’ll be able to use that sweet Annual Passholder discount instead of buying a full-priced drink at quick-service locations!
Whether you already know this and do it on every trip to the parks or this is brand new information, it’s good to have a reminder! Every little bit saved helps, right? And if we find any other Disney World money-saving tips, we’ll be sure to share them!

Does this tip also apply to Disney Premier Visa holders?
DFB Sarah says
Verena, I’m not very familiar with Disney Premier Visa policies. If you can get a discount at merchandise locations but not at drink carts/kiosks, I think it would be worth checking to see if it applies.

Do you all know if when you purchase resort souvenir cup if you can use it for free refills at other resorts or in parks? Eg. We are staying at all star music could we get refills at other all stars?
DFB Gigi says
Hi Louann! Yes, you can use the refillable mugs at other resort soda fountains and coffee machines. I actually did this on my last visit while I was shopping at the Contemporary, but was not staying there. 🙂

Are we able to use refillable mugs at the Parks? or only at Disney hotels?
Thanks
DFB Gigi says
Hi Nic! You can refill the souvenir mugs at any of the resort hotels, but not in any of the parks. You can ask for a free cup of ice water at any Quick Service restaurant, however, and pour that into your cup to keep it cold longer.
