Questions About Drinking Water

[il grande chuck]

Ive heard several people here say that you should bring your own drinking water to WDW because it's so expensive at the parks. Someone here suggested buying and bringing Brita water bottles as a good thing since the drinking water in Orlando doesn't taste very good. This sounded like a good idea to me, but as I researched these Brita bottles, I discovered that Brita no longer makes them.

So, the alternatives are: bringing several gallons of bottled water for my family of four (a real hassle to take on a plane trip), buying bottled water at wdw (expensive), bringing empty water bottles and filling them with water while there (which supposedly doesn't taste good), or bringing a Brita pitche(kind of a hassle to pack, but do-able) and making our own water to fill our water bottles with.

So, what do you people do, and/or what do you recommend?

Thanks!

And possibly cheaper...:lookaroun

And we think that WDW is modern...

This is just like the old days when people drank beer because the water wasn't potable...

We bought 2 water filter bottles and they were great. This site is less expensive than the camping gear sites and the filters last a long time. We put ice in them and then water from the tap each day as we packed up for the parks. We refilled them whenever necessary and had fresh water at a greatly reduced cost.

I would just buy a water bottle the first day there and fill it up the whole trip. The water really doesnt taste bad at all.

:sohappy: all you have to do is go to any counter service with fountain drinks and ask for a cup of ice water and they will give it to you for free. we did this on our last trip and the water was fine and im picky about what water i drink. some places give you small cups but some give you the large cups.this saves you from having to tote around frozen bottles all day and refilling and freezing them every night.:sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

just curious, how much is a bottle of water costing now at WDW?

 

[mrerk]

$2.50 if I recall correctly. We usually stop and buy a case of Zephyerhills at Super Target.

Ok, I thought it was about that price. I guess I have been brain washed because its $4.00 + at all the area attractions/ballparks/hockey arenas etc here in St.Louis area.

But I guess in the heat of the summer if you drink a lot and don't like the free ice water it would get pricey.

2 words "powdered water". Buy powdered water packets at target and add water when you arrive in WDW. Matter of fact I could sell you all the powdered water I have left over.:lookaroun

There is a publix 5 mins away from DW, we purchase our water and breakfast foods there.
