We are staying on property 7day/6nights. We are getting the dining plan. We purchased 6 days of park tickets so that we can have a down day to enjoy the resort/pool/Downtown Disney.

Does this mean that if I buy a cup I can only refill it in resort hotels or will there be areas in the parks themselves where I can refill?
