Well, to Disney's benefit, they are installing more and more water fountains in which guests can refill their reusable cups/thermoses. And the water is filtered... which doesn't matter to me, but my sister refuses to drink Disney tap that's unfiltered.

Remember when drinking water out of the tap or a garden hose was safe to drink?

You had a tap and a garden hose. Show off

And they never will stop, so its is indeed B.S
What about the $15 balloons? They still sell them too, right?

Tap water in the U.S. is almost everywhere safe to drink. Our municipalities (at least in NJ) send us the results of 3rd party testing. I drink tap water everywhere I go in the U.S., including WDW.

"Garden hose water" could be just more tap water, in that case, see above. If it's from a homeowner's well, it should be tested for safety to drink.

When I mentioned filtering above for my sisters, for her, it's a matter of taste, not safety.

Living in Ocean County, we had a cancer cluster that was traced to illegal chemical dumping and the Ciba Geigy dye plant in Toms River…I don’t have a problem per se, but it’s all bottled water in our house…I spent my childhood drinking out of the hose, but my town had some of the best tasting water in NJ

I remember fingers pointing to Ciba, but only because of a lack of any other culprits. Was it ever truly linked? Did families get a payout from Ciba?

It still is.

That was a sarcastic comment…of course it is…

There’s still ongoing litigation and it’s still a mess but it’s changed hands and now the majority of the property is destined to become a giant nature reserve and open space.

I've been bending wrenches for 30 years, gas tastes like blech and diesel stinks so bad I won't deal with it.
Electrons and networks for me

The obvious solution to this problematic situation is Tianna’s Environmentally Responsible Adhesive Tape Adventure.

It still is almost everywhere. Just another fear promotion to sell more bottled water which in all likelihood were filled via the tap. Their is no limit to human gullibility.

 

[Ricky Spanish]

You know, the word “gullible” is not in the dictionary?

 

[Chef Mickey]

This probably matters as much as tree huggers banning plastic straws.

 

[Ricky Spanish]

It wasn't the tree huggers that banned straws. It was Disney accountants.

They could be both accountants and tree huggers.

Neither is color
