The Universal Orlando Resort refillable cups are cups that you can purchase while visiting Universal Orlando to refill beverages throughout your stay.
Universal Studios refillable cups come in many different forms such as a butterbeer cup or the Universal Coke Freestyle refillable cup. Coke Freestyle refillable cups at Universal Studios have RFID chips in the bottom that can track your exact cup and refills used with it. Guests are also able to purchase the Universal souvenir cups, which are typically metal and insulated, and use them in the Universal refillable cups program.

Let’s jump into the most popular option and that is what is the Universal Coke freestyle? Coke Freestyle is a special type of soda dispensing machine that lets you choose from what feels like hundreds of types of soda. It is a stand-alone machine, with a touch screen that can scan your Universal Coke Freestyle cup and allow you free refills. The Coke Freestyle Universal cup can be purchased for each participating individual who is then allowed to have free Coke Freestyle refills throughout your stay.
This is not to be confused with the refillable souvenir cups at Universal Studios. Guests can purchase a Universal refillable cup at participating locations and then refill beverages at participating locations for $1.49 plus tax. The Universal Studios Orlando drink refill stations can be found throughout Universal, and are typically snack stands, beverage carts, or quick service restaurants.

If you purchase the classic souvenir soda cup, you may have to pay $1.49 per refill, but…
With Coke Freestyle, you don’t have to pay for refills and you get to use their cool machines to blend your perfect drink. But refill locations are not overly abundant, and you only get one day of refills with your initial purchase. With the classic souvenir cup program, you do need to pay for individual refills, but you can get those discounted refills virtually anywhere inside the parks and CityWalk, and you can use the cups forever (again, until Universal changes the policy).
So, how do you use the Universal Studios Florida refillable cup? Well, there are a couple of different ways you can take advantage of the Universal refill program within the parks. You can purchase souvenir cups at Universal Studios to receive refills at participating locations or you can purchase Coke Freestyle cups at Universal and refill at Coke Freestyle machines. It’s important to note that they are two different Universal refill programs that require different processes and prices.
When it comes to the Universal Coke Freestyle the price is rather simple to calculate, but it gets more complicated for the Universal refillable cups. We are going to discuss both and the kind of fees you will encounter when using the Universal Studios refillable cups.
The Universal Coca-Cola Freestyle price is:
All Universal Coke Freestyle cups must be purchased together, at the same time to receive this promotion. That price is only for the day you are visiting Universal Orlando. If you’ve already purchased a Coke Freestyle cup from a previous Universal Orlando trip, it will only cost you $10.99 to activate it again.
After you purchase your Universal Studios refillable cup, you can take it to any participating location and pay $1.49 for a beverage refill. The $1.49 can be used on soft drinks, but you can also receive a discount on other Universal beverages like Iced lemonade, tea, and slushies. Just note that the discount price may change depending on the beverage.
Another popular question is, do Universal Freestyle cups expire? And as long as the RFID chip still works your Universal refillable cup will not expire and you can reactivate it once you get to the parks. The activation will cost you around $10.99 per day, however on the flip side you will not have to re-purchase the cup. This can be a great way for families who may visit Universal often to save some money.
Universal’s CityWalk also has a giant Coke Icon stand right in the center of it, which is a great place to stop to refill your beverages. There are also freestanding Coke Freestyle machines that you can find throughout the theme parks where you can refill your beverage!
If you’re looking at the list of Universal Studios Coke Freestyle refill locations, you will notice that none of them are within The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. That is because of a licensing agreement between Universal and the Harry Potter franchise! Only branded products can be sold within the Wizarding World, therefore, you won’t ever find Coke products inside. With that being said, you can use your Universal Studios refillable mug to pay for $1.49 refills of tea, lemonade, or cider.
A question many muggles ask is; "Is there such a thing as discounted Butterbeer refills"? It doesn’t matter what kind of cup you have; if you want Butterbeer, you are paying full price. (Note: that Preferred and Premier passholders can get their standard beverage discount on the signature drink if they purchase it inside The Three Broomsticks, Hog’s Head, or anywhere in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.)
There are three different styles of cups: the plastic souvenir mug pictured above, the metal souvenir mug pictured below, and a disposable plastic cup. If you purchase Frozen Butterbeer in the plastic souvenir cup, you will pay $13.49, and if you purchase Frozen Butterbeer in the metal souvenir mug, it will cost $37.99 – both prices before taxes. After you guzzule your drink and bring it back for a refill, you will be charged $8.49, plus tax. But this is not a discounted refill price – $8.49 is the price you pay for Frozen Butterbeer in the plastic disposable cup. So, while you are, indeed, paying less than you did for your original Butterbeer in a souvenir cup, you are not getting a refill discount – you’re just paying the disposable-cup price that everyone else pays who doesn’t want a souvenir cup. (If you want to save a little more money, it’s worth noting that the plastic souvenir Butterbeer mug can be purchased without Butterbeer for $10.65, plus tax.)
No – you don’t have to pay for water refills, so this is a great way to save money and actually get hydrated. You can get free water refills at most beverage carts and kiosks, all restaurants, and any of a dozen water fountains around the park – plus, you even get free water refills using any cup at the Coke Freestyle machines.
Keep in mind that you’re getting what may be referred to as “tap water,” not bottled water, but, on a hot day, it’ll taste great!
