Disney Water fountains! whats your fav?

It was my day off, my first day off in a while. So i decided to get up early, dust down the golf clubs and go for a swing at my favorite dinsey course "Lake Buena Vista". The weather was perfect, warm but with that rare florida breeze. I arrived at Saratoga springs resort and spa checked in and headed out to the first tee. It so became apparent that i was not the only one who had the idea of golf on this fine day. I approached the starter, a tall gentleman with all the qualities of a true castmember, who informed me of a immense 25 minute wait! Crazy but honestly i needed the time to brush up on my short game. I grabbed my putter, a couple of balls and dropped them onto the practice green. More people arrived and joined me on the green. After several bad putting attempts and a few chip and runs i decided to observe and wait in the shade as that florida breeze i was talking about had gone and the sun was out in full force. I took shelter under a palm tree and tried to cool off before starting the round. That is when i saw it !.....just across the path was a water fountain. I am normally sceptical about public water fountains as they can be dirty, horrible tasting, warm and even have the odd soggy cigarette butt. But this one was different this was shinny and looked so inviting on this scorcher of a day. i walked over put my mouth to the gleaming metal bowl and pressed........................the water was unbelievable. i was so cold it felt like it had come straight off a glacier, tripple filtered through 10crt diamonds then piped though the magic disney pipes to end up in my grateful now cold mouth. As i was drinking i looked up to see people laughing, the boat cruising pass taking families to downtown disney and could smell the intense fragrance of freshly cut grass! This was my perfect disney water fountain experience and from that day on i became obsessed with the testing and tasting of every fountain i could find on disney property.


This is still my favorite but i have many a close second. Some are great because of their location or how they are incorporated into the disney show and some are great because they do what they are meant to so well!


Whatever the reason let me know your top disney water fountains!




My top 5
1) LVB golf course hole one (stainless steel)


2)The talking water fountain at epcot to the right of the dancing fountains


3)The water fountain directly opposite pirates of the Caribbean


4)Hole 5 Disneys Oak trail golf course.


5)The water fountain attached the Cinderella's fountain just through the castle at magic kingdom.

But, that one no longer talks.
It hasn't for years, AFAIK.

In MK- Adventureland/Frontierland.

I like the water fountain in the "Cross Over" (far left one on the map.) The fountain
is built into the wall on the opposite side of the pass-thru from the restrooms.

(This pass-thru is the one near the Tree house
and the Diamond Horseshoe.)
