Does anyone know if Disney has installed the Oasis Aqua Pointe VersaFiller Bottle Filling Stations? Kings Island up here in Ohio has them. It is a great way to save money on filling up water bottles and also cuts down on plastic bottle waste.
Quick service will give you free water if you ask, so I'm not sure how you guys think this would be any different? Other than up-front cost.
To answer the OP's question, unfortunately they have not installed anything like that yet.
convenience and effort. I'm sure there are water fountains as well (ive never honestly looked), you could fill up your water bottles at water fountains or get the free cups of water but none of those are used as much as if they put one of these machines in. Think about it this way, how many people bypass tap water or water fountain water but drink tons of bottled water. The way lots of people think is if its filtered from a glacier its not the same (even though most bottled waters are from municipal water and not glaciers). If Disney had these filtered pretty machines the people that never use water fountains, ask for cups of water would use these machines like crazy. Especially because they would think of it, where today most people just buy new bottles of water and don't try to refill them at theme parks (from what ive seen).
Example I never see anyone at my gym use the water fountains.... the filtered water machine next to it.... says it has saved 943,000 bottles of water (I checked yesterday), that's a very tiny gym... where most people still bring their own water.
I think you misunderstood me. I was speaking to the fact that people are saying disney wouldn't do it because they wouldn't get sales from bottled water anymore if they had free water dispensers. My point was that free water is already readily available, so it really shouldn't make a difference for Disney. Even King's Island has these dispensers, it's honestly crazy that Disney doesn't.
But there's enough snooty people who hate the taste of tap water that installing the bottle fillers won't somehow mean they'll never ever sell water ever again.
