Disney H2O and sensitive stomachs?

[StitchesGr8Fan]

For those of you with sensitive stomachs, do you find that the water from fountains in WDW bothers you? I've read lots of tips about bringing a water bottle and using Crystal Lite to make the water taste better, and that might be a good plan for me. But I don't want my vacation to be ruined because I ended up sick from changing the water I drink.

I find that the water at MK tastes the worst, while at the other three parks it tastes fine. I will say the fountains aren't very cold, if at all, so I recommend getting a cup of ice water from a food location that serves fountain drinks and then pour it into your personal water bottle if that is what you're using

I've never considered myself somebody with sensitive stomach and the same can be said about my DH but we get diarrhea from the water in FL. We brought these neat refillable water bottles that had loops on them so we could hook it on our belts or my purse. We brought the CL packets. Within a day we had tummy troubles. So we stopped the water and stuck with pop. Problem cleared right up. We figured it was a fluke and probably not the water. So we brought our bottles again and filled up in the parks. Here came the tummy troubles. FL was having a serious drought at the point so we blamed it on that.

Next trip, we tried the water again. And here came tummy troubles. When I brought my SIL for her first visit, I had told her ahead of time about the water. I didn't pay attention to what she was doing but she told me that she had tummy troubles. I said "Are you drinking the water from the fountain". Yep, it effected her as well.

When I travel with my DH we rent a car. We stop at a grocery store and pick up bottled water. When I travel without renting a car, I have NetGrocer deliver bottled water to the resort. Much cheaper than Disney price.

We always buy bottled water and bring it or drink the bottled water in the parks. The water only bothered my sister's stomach once, but not wanting to be sick on vacation, we just stick with bottled. The water doesn't bother me, but I really dislike the taste. I don't like pop and I drink ALOT of water, so I figure better safe than sorry.

Over the past few years I have developed a somewhat food poisoning prone system. I can eat food that is as hot as anything, but get food poisoning often. This past year alone I have had it 3-4 times. With all of that being said, I have absolutely no troubles with WDW water fountains. It doesn't taste the best, but I do fill up my water bottles there at least once a day.

I don't think the tap water is all that great in FL but it has never made me sick. My mom is pretty much the poster child for people who get stomach problems from anything and while she wouldn't write a haiku about how wonderful it is it also didn't make her sick.

I buy bottled water only because I don't like the taste of Florida water. But I haven't had any stomach problems when I did drink it.

I honestly find that switching to any water can bother my stomach regardless if it is WDW, a cruise ship, whatever. Our last two trips we just had bottled water delivered and I had no problems what so ever.

I find FL water to taste and smell like pool water. I stopped drinking it after getting very nauseous two days in to our trip last week. I would recommend buying or bringing bottled water, or getting a water bottle with one of those Brita-like filters built in.
