we got a really nice guy at the ABC commisary - he gave us giant cups of ice water....it was blazing outside....1000 degrees and 1000% humidity...
he was as sweet as can be...six huge gigantic cups of ice water!!
Definitely not, the fountains are generally very poor, odd one will be OK if in the shade but usually warm and not very nice tasting. Iced water is far better.
I think the free water tastes a lot better but it maybe just because its always cold and has ice in it. Most of the fountain water is totally yuk because its warm. If you can find a fountain that's been in the shade then its ok, but I do think its benefits from being REALLY cold. Mind you the Dasani water that is sold in the park is only filtered tap water and I think the free water is nicer then that!
