Which drinking fountains in the parks feature chilled water?

[Spike-in-Berlin]

Perhaps you already recognized it. Some drinking fountains in the parks run chilled water and some run only lukewarm temperated water. First I thought that those who only have lukewarm water perhaps have a broken cooling device but then I realized that those with chilled water are always the same (e.g. one at the border between Liberty Square and Frontierland. And as it is much more refreshing to refill your bottle with chilled water I want to create my own list of chilled water drinking fountains of the park, to avoid long searches on really hot days.
So, does anyone know some fountains where the water is definitely chilled?

Exactly. You can go to any quick service restaurant or stand that serves fountain drinks and get a free tall glass of ice water.

If you are still looking for good water fountains, here are my top 5 at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

1. Just inside the Magic of Disney Animation queue line.
2. At Fantasmic near the restrooms.
3. To the left of Studio Catering Company restrooms.
4. Inside Backlot Express restaurant near the restrooms.
5. Near the restrooms across from Star Tours.

These are usually always cold and have a nice steady flow.

The reason people liek to bottle their water is it is more easily transported and you can take alot with you. Also, you don't have to finish and discard it before getting on a ride. It's way more convenient. The DW and I always keep 3 or 4 filled up in my backpack. that way water is on hand and we can drink and stay hydrated. We probably go through 4-6 bottles and hour.

Also we do the parks commando style.

Because we want to refill our water bottles anyway, e.g. if we are waiting in a line we want to have something to drink, without having to walk to a cs-restaurant.

Sounds interesting but what does it mean exactly?

Basically we run in grab a FP then ride short line rides until the moment we can get a new FP which we then do and then continue to ride short lines. We do this all day regardless if we have to run back and forth across the park just for one ride. Eventually you wind up with 4 FPs at any one time and then just fi in short lines between the FP times and do this all day. We crush all 4 parks in 5 days every time with multiple rides on our favs like HM and POC etc.

Now we have a baby so that's out the window.:wave:

Weather we had bottled water or not, my son use to think he had to stop and take a drink out of every water fountain he sees! LOL I am glad he stopped that.

Wait a minute. Can you do that? I thought you could only get one FP at a time.

This thread brings the LOL's out. :ROFLOL::ROFLOL:

Whoa boy. Total thread drift. But, you can only get one FP per window. However, once the window is up, you can get an additional fast pass.
I.E. get a TSM pass at 9 AM, good for 6 PM. You should be able to get another at 11 AM, you then get a ToT good for 7 PM. At 1 you can get another, say RnRC good for 7:15 PM. And then at 3 you get one for Star Tours for 6 PM. You would technically hold 4 perfectly valid FP's at once.

Alternatively, you MAY be able to use FP's after their posted time. Some people have occasionally reported being turned away, but not often. So if you just hold them, you can then use them all in the afternoon/evening after waiting in lines all morning. The FP's dont explicitly say you cannot use them after you window, but they do explicitly say you cannot use them before your window.

And now to put it back on topic, I have no idea. I never really paid attention to the temperature of the water. My water bottle warms up anyways, so I guess I just get used to the warm water.
