Brita water bottle VS shipping a pack to the hotel

[crazgurl]

Me again! I'm coming down from Canada and in the past have always purchased water bottles in the parks. This is far too expensive though, so I'm looking at my options! My concern isn't so much the taste (a little crystal light fixes that!) but the minerals in the water. I know I've read that most people are find drinking the water in Disney, but if your body decides to reject the new minerals, you're kind of $#!t out of luck (quite literally). Does anyone know if a Brita bottle will filter enough of the minerals to negate the risk? Or are we better of shipping a package of water from Amazon?

We've used the Brita bottle with built-in filter for our past two trips to WDW and haven't noticed any adverse reactions or effects from drinking the water in the parks.

I've drank the water out of the fountain. While not fresh spring water I have no reason to believe it's not perfectly safe

You can get a free cup of water at any quick service food location, and it's ice cold and filtered. If it's a self-service beverage station, just ask for a cup so you can get it yourself.

The Brita filter bottle works just fine. We've used 2 for a few trips and no one in my family had a negative reaction while using them.

If you're staying on site and you want a case of bottled water for your room you can buy one in the little store located in the resort lobby. No need to fuss with getting something shipped. We've stayed at Yacht Club, Beach Club, Boardwalk Inn, and Wilderness Lodge and we always buy water by the case right in the hotel.

I've never stayed at All Star so while I assume all locations have similar items for sale I don't know that first hand. As to price, I never noticed. Sorry. It couldn't have been anything too insane or I would have taken note given that we buy two or three each trip. I'm sure that the first time we did it my husband quickly did the math and found it to be significantly less than buying individually.

When we bought a case (24 bottles) in the GF gift store it was just under $7.

Thank you for chiming in to clarify

Perfect!!!! Thanks for that info!!! Haha worst case we will resort hop and bring back our loot on the bus I never expected resorts to sell cases and everywhere I've found online say bring from home or Amazon ship. A little shocked!

Quit being cheap and just buy it. If you have to be cheap, get it free at any quick service.

That's a little uncalled for. I may not be a regular contributor here like I used to be, but asking for opinions to save some money and hassle while planning a trip is kind of what these boards are about, at least in part. The question wasn't whether I should buy a Brita, I intend to do that anyway, the question was whether it would be effective or if there are better solutions, which it turns out there are.

Thanks for the info! I'm going to try for the hotel store, just seems simpler, but for sure we will keep that in mind if the hotel fails us.
