Buy the Crystal Light powder packets or liquid drops to add flavor.

I use them regularly

Or go to Knott's, SFMM, SeaWorld, etc
that offer unlimited refill programs.

plain cold water is the best option imo

Some folks want flavor, or electrolytes such as Gatorade powder packets.

Folks have options if they don't want to pay for beverages

I just refill my bottle at the open fountains inside pizza port. Ice cold water for free!

Smart. I do that there too sometimes and also refill some soda there whether I bought the original soda there or not. It was really hot yesterday and we had the kids with us so convenience won out.

I have sympathy for the theater and the ballpark where their money is primarily made in concessions, but admission cost alone brings Disneyland enough revenue that they don’t need such outrageous prices on food.

Yeah it just felt extra greedy. $6.50/ $7 bucks and I probably don’t bat an eye.

As long as people keep paying Bobsyland prices, Bobsyland sees no reason to alter course.

Lol. Bobsyland doesn’t get old. Yeah unfortunately I contribute to the “problem.” With that said, I wouldn’t buy passes in the first place if I didn’t feel the value was there for the family. $9.50 for a bottle of water though. That even surprised a DL vet like me.

The Bobs charged you as much for one bottle of water as the cost of admission and unlimited rides at DL in 1980. And I was there in 1980 ‘cause I’m old!

Saw this by the Island raft loading area/Harbor Galley today-

What is Pelican’s Landing? Has this been announced in the past?

 

[mickEblu]

The inclusion committee has to earn their paycheck somehow

 

[J4546]

id be down if they expanded the dock area, and added more seats to the harbour galley.

Weird, the Disneyland site lists Tom Sawyer's Island as being open today (and for the rest of the week).

Taking a look at the calendar….

It does look like the Columbia, Tom Sawyer’s Island and the Mark Twain have planned rolling refurbishments beginning in September. Perhaps it’s tied to this project?

Yes that is a crazy price for water. But I saw those bottles there and they are like two normal bottles so it’s actually a bit less than buying two regular waters.

I hate this Disney management, I may never go back again. And who needs them anyway when you've got the Calico Mine Ride and the Bates Motel at Universal Studios?

DL > CA > Knotts > USH

It looked like it was about 1/3 bigger than the smaller Smart water bottle. With that said, I didn’t see them side by side.

I almost never buy beverages at the parks, save for an occasional coffee. I'm with Darkbeer, as my group and I always tend to bring water and powdered tea to spice things up as the mood strikes. There's a brand called True Citrus that I prefer.
