Keeping hydrated

[Figment1989]

Alright - one month from tomorrow is our honeymoon! (and there's a little event the week before that, but shhhhh ) One consideration we've had while planning is hydrating as we are going at the end of July and temps will likely be at least in the 90s. Definitely not complaining - I knew what I was getting into when we booked this.

I personally HATE how the water tastes from the water fountains, so I got a collapsable water bottle and some flavored powders.

My fiance is thinking about bringing one of our Camelbaks for him primarily.

My main questions are:
Does the water from the fountains still taste kinda funky and warm? I was last there in 2011 (and 2009 the time before that)
Does anyone have suggestions about how we can keep the water in the camelbak cold?
Is the free water from the restaurants the same as the water fountains?

Thank so much! Everyone is being so helpful

I agree with cw1982. We never lug water to the parks anymore. They will weigh you down and heat you up. You can step right up to the side of the counter service and ask for the ice water without waiting in any long lines.

Since it is your honeymoon. During the middle of the day, head back to the room to get out of the intense heat. Take a shower and do honeymoon activities and head back to the parks later when the sun isn't as intense.
