Coke freestyle machines French quarter

[Mickey shaped world]

We will be staying at port Orleans French Quarter, I was wondering can you fill a reusable bottle with water or will It only except refillable mugs?
We will have refillable mugs as well, so I can always just pour it in if I can't.
Also have you found you had 24/7 access to the freestyle machines or is the canteen locked up for the night?

Thank you for your help

While you can fill a water bottle, it is tricky to get the stream into a narrow-necked bottle without the water running down the sides. A container with a wider opening (like a Contigo or similar style, or the Disney mug) is much easier.

I have read conflicting reports on 24/7 availability of the Freestyle machines at POFQ. When is your trip?

Thank you for the reply, my bottle is fairly wide so it might work. We go end of April - into May.

My trip is at the beginning of April so I will report back on availability.

We were there in August just gone and filled dup water daily from the machines without issue.

I had an opportunity one night to check whether freestyle machines were available after service stopped in sassagoula floatworks. Unfortunately the restaurant was all locked up. This was last November.
We would fill up our mugs as late as possible and we always buy bottled water to have available overnight. There are vending machines in each building on every floor if you are desperate for a soda when freestyle not available. On a side note you will find ice machines in same location as vending machines.

Probably a silly question but is the ice out of the ice machines clean enough to drink?

We used it all the time and it tasted fine even when it was a bit melted. We would fill a few cups and leave in our fridge. It would remain frozen for a while.

Thank you that's my plan as well. I drink a lot of water even at night. I would like to avoid buying $4 bottles of water as much as possible.

Go to Target or order online and have a couple of cases of water delivered

I was thinking of doing that but I think I would rather use my reusable bottle if possible.

I’m picky about the “Florida water” taste. The ice machines must have really good filters because we like to fill up our wide mouth bottles (nalgene) as full as possible with just ice. As it melts throughout the hot day we still have super cold water and it tastes just fine.

If you're driving from the airport, just stop at the CVS drugstore and pick up a gallon or two of spring water - cheap and tasty!

Thank you. I'd be interested in this answer too. You're always so helpful, Tuvalu!

I answered this in another thread but promised to report back to this one. I am currently at POFQ. The hours for Sassagoola Floatworks (food court) is 6 am - midnight daily. The doors are locked when the last guest leaves, so there is not 24/7 access to the freestyle machines.
