Refillable Mugs Vanish from Typhoon Lagoon: Here’s a Breakdown of What We Know So Far
If you’re headed to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon for a day of splashin’ and snackin’, here’s a heads-up that might leave some guests high and dry: refillable mugs are currently not available at the water park.
That’s right — the beloved souvenir mugs that once let guests sip unlimited drinks all day long are nowhere to be found. Not only are the refill stations gone, but even the machines themselves have been blocked off. If you’re planning to bring a mug from a previous visit, unfortunately, you won’t be able to reactivate it or fill it up.

These refillable mugs have been a staple at Typhoon Lagoon for years, offering a one-time purchase for unlimited fountain drinks, with the option to reuse them on future visits. Their sudden disappearance comes just as the water park reopened on May 1 following its seasonal refurbishment — and while Stitch was on hand to greet guests and cause a little mayhem, the mugs were most definitely not.
So… Is This Change Permanent?
At this time, Disney has not confirmed whether the removal of refillable mugs is a temporary change or a permanent policy shift. There has been no official announcement, so we’re keeping our ears to the ground (and our eyes on the drink machines) for any updates. Whether this is due to an equipment refresh, staffing adjustment, or a broader change in beverage service strategy remains to be seen.

What’s Still Available?
Good news for collectors (and thirsty guests): the Miss Tilly Sipper Cup — themed after Typhoon Lagoon’s iconic shipwreck centerpiece — is still available! And yes, it still includes unlimited refills for the rest of the day of purchase. So if you’re craving that tropical splash of Powerade or soda between lazy river loops, this is your best bet.
As of now, there’s no word on whether Blizzard Beach will resume refillable mug service when it reopens on May 21. When both parks are running at the same time for the first time since 2019, it’ll be interesting to see if the refillable option floats back into the lineup.
Until then, if you’re visiting Typhoon Lagoon, plan to purchase drinks à la carte — or pick up a Miss Tilly sipper to hydrate in style.
