Diet drinks in parks??

[gardendame]

In Oct/2004, we will be going to WDW and staying at POR. Two of our three children are diabetics.
Is there a varied selection of diet drinks/sodas throughout the restaurants and/or parks? Or will they be just limited to Diet Coke? We can carry Crystal Light with us, but would prefer not to. It is my understanding that WDW uses Coca-Cola products. What are the chances of the kids getting a diet Sprite, root beer, or anything other than Diet Coke?
TIA

you can get unsweet tea and add sweet and low or Equal

I am always frustrated with diet soft drink selections everywhere. Coke or Pepsi, nothing else. No one ever seems to have any that are caffeine free. (I'm addicted to Fresca!).

I wind up having unsweetend iced tea and using artificial sweetener.

I am afraid the selection is pretty poor. Like the above posters said, there is only diet Coke and unsweetened iced tea. Even in the little grocery store at the Boardwalk, that is all. No diet Snapple, Crystal Lite, Minute Maid Light .. nada.

Seems like in a place they will cook special meals for you that they could do a bit better.

don't forget the best calorie free, sugar free drink around:

Water

I don't remember seeing anything but diet coke & iced tea, either.

If you're staying at a Disney resort, why don't you try calling the mrg? Maybe they could arrange to have something else. Or, if you're using a towncar service, just make the grocery store stop. You could get some other drinks for your room.

Another thought, check on the Disabilities brd. I'll bet there are other diebetic's too. They may have some ideas.

Hope you have a wonderful trip!

I'm afraid what everyone has said is true. I am sensitive to caffeine and unless you want all the sugar in Sprite and Lemonade, you are left with only water. Unless stated otherwise, Iced tea has caffeine too.
I wish they would carry Diet Sprite.
