Electric Umbrella to get self-serve beverages

Self-Serve soda fountains are a very bad idea, cause even thought guests get their own soda. At Sunshine Seasons it still takes at least 1 cast member to stock,clean, and make sure that the boxes of syrup in the back are not empty. During a lunch rush or any type of rush there could be 3 cast members working on the soda station. The big problem is either they can't get the beverage in the right cup or in the cup , at all. The biggest thing is how many cups get wasted on an average day. I would say we throw away a box pr two of cups and lids, over the course of the week. If they are going to do that the cups should be given at the register instead of like Sunshine Seasons, at the fountains, because putting together their own soda/coffee is to complex for many of guests.

I'm sure the CMs who currently are in charge of keeping the condiment bars stocked and neat would take on the additional tasks of the beverage dispensers (as well as police the area for people filling up non-Disney containers). And the cups would be given to you at either the register or the counter. But I agree that some people would have a hard time finding their way out of a paper bag, let alone pour their own soda...

Of course, Disney could always choose to go the route a few amusement parks have taken (Holiday World in Indiana and Lake Compounce in Connecticuit are the ones springing to mind) and offer unlimited free fountain beverages to all Guests...

Disneyland California is offering in their Self Service restaurant a Free Refill while you eat there .

i remember that they had the refill at Pizza Port in TL and Plaza something in the Hub .


At WDW except Mc Donald's and Table Service Restaurants and Food Court in the Resort none of the Theme Park Restaurants offers a Free sodas refill .

We go to Lake Compose in CT. They offer free Pepsi, I believe they have 4 or 5 stations set up. those areas are usually kept clean
I don't think it would more 1-2 CMs to handle it.
