    We were on the fence about whether to get a Coca Cola freestyle cup or not, but changed our minds about getting one for our trip after watching this video. This was so convenient. We are use to drinking water all day and this saved us a lot of money. It may have been cold out, but we were still drinking a lot of water all day. Thanks to Universal and the freestyle cup, we now know what a Strawberry and Blue Raspberry Icee tastes like. Both were good, but was like the Blue Raspberry more. Thank you so much for all the information.

    • @ThePughTwo
      @ThePughTwo  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They have a Coca Cola stand in CityWalk where you can refill the cups and I *think* you can get an icee there! We’re not big icee fans, so we’re not 100% sure, but I’d be surprised if you couldn’t!

    • @ThePughTwo
      @ThePughTwo  ปีที่แล้ว

      Unfortunately the refill cups in the parks and the ones at the hotel are different. You can get free water in your cup at the resort, though! That’s what we always opt for since we spend most of our time in the parks or CityWalk.

  • @chrishibbs839

    Hey guys, love the videos! I was just there last week and purchased the Freestyle cups for my fam based on your recommendation from a previous video. It is totally worth it. And those cups are great and absolutely don't spill! We used the hell out of them the whole week were there. The only frustrating part was when the machines ran out of ice every afternoon. It happened every day. I was also frustrated that they did not work in the hotel. They have different cups that you have to buy to use the hotel machines. That doesn't make sense. Thanks again guys!!

    • @ThePughTwo
      @ThePughTwo  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They’re not perfect, but it’s better than spending $50/day on bottles! Lol we agree about the hotels, we always make sure to fill ours up in Citywalk before we head back just for that reason. We also usually bring a few bottles of water in our suitcase just for the room. We’re so happy our videos were helpful!

    • @largol33t1
      @largol33t1 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Chris, sorry but that's an unwritten rule Universal has implemented since they started the refill program. If you buy your cups from a restaurant/cafe in the HOTEL, it will not work in the parks. If you go to the parks and buy the cup there, it will NOT work in the hotels. I couldn't make up my mind but figured because I didn't want to lug an empty mug in my small messenger bag all day, I got the hotel mugs. But again, everyone's needs are different. I bet Disney is just as restrictive with their refill mugs.

Sucks that they couldn't use the same cup for everywhere but if you fill up on the way out, you get to drink while your waiting for the shuttle which is like 5 mins when I went last week.

Also can link your card to your room at a universal resort and you will just pay it on the departure day or put the card into the app and pay it that way. There's just so many options, love it.

    I bought a freestyle cup when I was there two years ago and apparently you could buy two or more days at a time? We were in the parks a total of three days and apparently on my second day whoever activated did it for two days and I had no idea! So, the first thing we did on our last day was go to get it activated and she told us we were already set for the day! I was like 😲 cool! It could have been a fluke thing but i think it’s a great idea to be able to buy multiple days. I stayed at endless summer and I thought since it was a resort I could also fill my cup up at the resort but they said you had to pay for the drinks there so that was a bummer. 😞
    You guys do a really great job in all your videos! I was wondering if you guys could show us around the resorts you stay at when you go? Ik a lot of other people do those types of videos but some of them are hard to get through and don’t give as much information as you guys!

      Thank you! I love this hat! We aren't sure about all the flavors, our memory could be failing us, but it seems like we've seen that down there somewhere!

    Do you have to pay for each refill? Can we use an outside cup to get water?

    • @ThePughTwo
      @ThePughTwo  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh no! You pay $17 ish for the cup and that includes the refills. Then, when you recharge it on additional days you only pay $10 for refills all day. And yes! You can bring your one cup to fill up with water free of charge!

      We aren’t sure on the exact number but there is pretty much one in each land, if not two (except in the Harry Potter areas) you can also get them filled at any of the kiosk that have soda machines!

    Hey great video love it very informative now my question to you guys I'm going to universal on Thursday with my family of 4 should I buy 2 separate meal so we can get 2 cups or if we buy the mill deal for the family of 4 will we just get one cup don't know if you understand what I'm trying to say let me know thank you

      It sounds like you’re referring to the quick service dining plan that includes the freestyle cup? If so, those are individual so if you purchase it for four people, that would include 4 separate cups. When we go to the parks, we share a cup between the two of us just for ease. If you’re just purchasing the cups by themselves, we would recommend sharing to limit the number of cups you have to haul around with you. We hope this helps!

    Do any of the cups have handles or some way of clipping it to the outside of a bag so I don't have to carry it all day? We still bring ours from 2014 because it has a handle.

    My mom and I have reusable cups we fill with ice from the hotel and then refill from the water fountains around the parks. I know some might be meh about tap water but we have no problem with it. Plus we have had the same issue with water in the machines. The one by the mystic fountain didn't have just plain water. They had the flavor or sparkling water and they have the fake sugar. I've only used mine on long days or days I know we are going to have multiple meals.
    Also, you either got lucky or I am unlucky. The lid on my freestyle cup leaks. I keep mine in a holder and as I'm walking it will splash up and out the breather hole and get everywhere!!!

    Just found your channel and LOVE your content! Question about the fanny pack/bum bag. Are you able to wear it on rides? Does it have to be around your waist or can it be put crossbody? I heard you can wear one on most of the rides, but can't find any more detail about max dimensions, if it can have a water bottle attached, etc. Thanks! :-)

    • @ThePughTwo
      @ThePughTwo  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As far as we know there aren’t any size limitations with the fanny packs. The one we have is pretty big and we’ve never had an issue. We’re not sure about how you wear it. On rides that it would interfere with the restraint, they might make you move it to your waist but we’re not 100% sure. Also, Universal does require it to be a 3 prong closure on the bag, which just means the closure has 3 pieces sticking out instead of 2. As far as rides, you have to take it off for Hulk, Velocicoaster, and Rip Ride. The rest of them you can take the fanny pack on. They’re sometimes weird about MIB, but we haven’t had any issues lately.

      Just returned from a 4 day trip and I also can confirm as long as it gets the restraint bar on and keeps you safe along with being 3 prong, your good to go. Even if they say something to you, it'll just be to turn it to your side. Had to do that on gringotts cause the seats are awkward shape and of course hulk velocicoaster and rip ride are nothing on you, even hats go in your shirt or attached to something cause you WILL lose it. Also, freestyles will give you water even if the machine says your out for the day. Had lemonade mio bottle in my pack and just used that on day 4 and turned out great. Had a great trip and want to go back asap...👌
