Free water inconsistencies.

[TrainsOfDisney]

At Disneyland the free water has become extremely inconsistent. Sometimes you get water and no ice. Sometimes you get ice and no water (instructed to fill it yourself from water fountains) and sometimes you get really lucky and get a large cup of ice and water!

Would be nice if the guest came first with such a simple request.

Interesting, where were you told that?

Award Wieners is my go to place to get a free water in a large cup. Everywhere else Ive never had an issue getting water but they always give it to me in small cups.

If I want to fill my own water bottle or go get a large cup and fill it myself I go to:

Plaza Inn
Alien Pizza Planet
Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta

I agree. It's a minor but definite annoyance when they've given me my food and I just want to sit and eat, not have to go fill it. There were often lines at the Tavern water faucet, more annoyance.

Water bottle fill stations were built along with Galaxy's Edge and upon seeing that I had hoped that they would add more throughout the parks, appropriately themed of course. That should alleviate most of the requests for water throughout the day, but no restaurant should deny water to its patrons.

When I order a quick service meal I think it’s appropriate that I can get a full size cup of ice water. Not trying to be a diva about it haha.

They added one to Tomorrowland- perhaps they were planning on adding more and covid derailed that?

Now I'm not saying this is why Disneyland isn't doing it, but a lot of restaurants in California limit giving out free water by default during drought years. So you have to ask for it a lot of times.

Very true.

When did quick serve locations just hand out water? It’s usually something you have to request.

This is true, I didn't even see that part in the post I replied to. But the sentiment is still the same.

Remember when servers at restaurants would bring you water without waiting for patrons to ask? Those days are gone, for now.

I'm far more irritated by the straw situation. Paper straws are TERRIBLE!!!

I was super excited to recently find one place at the park using compostable straws that were not traditional plastic and not paper but worked just fine. I even told the CMs there the straws were great and they should keep them! lol

Yes. I took a picture of a straw. You have no idea how much I hate the paper ones. This gave me some small sliver of hope. lol

I was told by CMs early last month when I went that almost all locations have both kinds of straws and also have lids, you just have to ask. They aren't going to automatically give you them.

Paper straws were everywhere and I was only offered the good/compostable ones at one location. Any other place I asked for straws I was given paper ones or pointed to paper straw dispensers.

You're saying I need to special request non-paper straws everywhere else?! Is there a secret password or special handshake required, too? Or should I just tell them:

Dunno, just telling you what I was told by a CM. I got about 50/50 when I asked when I went last month, maybe not all CMs know. But got a lid 100% of time when I asked.

Just letting you know my experience, obviously YMMV.

Rose Tavern and Galactic Grill.

Galactic Grill has those water-cooler style fountains to the left of the order/pick up windows which is likely why they give you the ice (I remember this always being the case since Disneyland reopened last year); I think Red Rose Taverne also has that kind of spigot inside but can't be sure.

So? Is that a reason To not give a guest a cup of water?
