Bottled water from Staples

[KTSMOM]

The rewards program is free. I signed up for it and ordered bottle water to be sent to my resort. It was there when I checked in! It worked out great and saved us a ton of $ at the parks.

How far in advance did you order it? TIA

Just a few days ahead. I believe I ordered it the Wed before our Sat trip. They sent me an email saying it had been sent on Thurs, so the hotel held it for me. Just make sure you put your reservation # on the line with your last name.

This may be crazy BUT

Can I use those new individual drink mixes (like crystal light) in the filtered bottles? If the water gets filtered as you drink I guess that means it won't work with the mixes??

not crazy at all. we ordered bottled water with our other groceries from wegoshop. what saved us extra money was we froze our bottles before leaving the parks and when we had finished the first one we refilled the bottle with wdw water while there was still some ice chunks in it and just added the drink mix to it. it did cover up the taste of the water pretty well. one problem though. most of the water from the fountains really arent that cold. so leave some ice in the bottle. still when you have 4 thirsty people and water costing what it is this saved us quite a bit of cash over 10 days


one tip though. if you choose to do this wrap your bottle in a paper towel and secure it with rubber bands. that water will defrost quickly and will drip all over the place.

just something to add to that last post. there is crystal lite, iced tea and now kool aid individual packs

I ordered water yesterday and Staples checkout said it will ship on Thurs, we arrive sunday. However, I forgot to put my reservation #. I wonder if this will be a problem??

 

[KTSMOM]

It shouldn't be a problem since they can check the computer to see you're checking in on Sun. You might just want to call the hotel and let them know it's coming.

Thanks I think I will!

Has anybody any good ideas for keeping the water cold, since i wont have a fridge, i was thinking to just immerse the bottles in a sinkful of ice?? Any other ideas?

We'll be staying at POR. Do I just have it shipped to the address listed on the back of my confirmation? It says 1251 Riverside Drive. It also says not to use the address or phone number until after check-in. Has anyone had anything shipped there recently and had a problem?

I used Staples in the middle of October and I had no problems having the water shipped to POR. However the address I used was 1251 Dixie Dr.

I just signed up for the Staples Rewards Program since I will be ordering bottled water for my upcoming trip in a few weeks. When will I receive the $5 off coupon? There wasn't any mention of it in the email I got after I signed up. Just wondering if they still have that offer.
