The good news is, if you fill up from the cups they give out at the QS, you won't need the filter. Opens up to a wider variety of water bottles. The pain is carrying them around. We just don't bother and get water when we want it. I'd just end up putting the bottle down somewhere if I tried to carry something. I went with a family once who used a camelback. Worked great but we are bagless too.
Well, I can say the only thing I became a blubbering idiot over was the Sistine Chapel. Hopefully you will enjoy Batuu as much as I did that
This is really important for the littles who can't feel dehydration coming on but also the older guests. I don't know why I see so many elderly guests at Disney in the summer but I do .... and way too common to see the sitting or laying with medics next to them. I travel with a son who is disabled and rarely asks for a drink, when he does I know I've screwed up on intake. Be the bossy person who reminds everyone ..... but remember you can over-hydrate and it can be just as dangerous.
Ideas for those with less or no bags ...
- Drink a large glass or bottle of water with breakfast
- Buy the water, will be the best investment you can make
- If you can drink it, opt for Powerade at least once a day
- Powerade is a plus when needing hydration, not as regular drink
- Florida water doesn't taste so great if not filtered, true
- Bring filtered bottles, I have some Brita that are "soft" plastic, easier to carry
- Pack everyone bottle slings and have them wear and remind to drink
- If using tap bring "MiO" of similar drops or packets to flavor
- OR buy one Powerade, split among bottles then add tap water
- Inside Quick Serve offer free ice water to anyone
- When eating at QS we always ask for ice water even if getting soda
- We make everyone drink that water with meal before we go outside
- Bring the cooling towels or neck rings, wear hats, sunglasses
- We also have fans we can hang around the neck and we forget they are there
It doesn't take long to end up being attended by medics and ruining your day.
That goes for you too @GADisneyDad14
Most likely because they want to travel with their grands who are on school breaks and it's the time they can take a vacation.This is really important for the littles who can't feel dehydration coming on but also the older guests.

I saw that pop up as 1 of my alerts, and broke out in a cold sweat. They're just toying with us at this point!
Me too! I just got a Google alert and ran back to my desk...for nothing
I know! I keep thinking I missed something and refresh and nothing new pops up, and I’m thinking to myself, is this right? Lol
