I will sadly admit to being of the mindset to never, ever use a snack credit for a bottle of water...until this last trip. And now I'm pulling myself up to a big ole helping of humble pie!
We were at WDW the last week of August and it was (as expected) melt-your-face-off hot with temps over 105o and 93% humidity by 10:30 in the morning.
We had eaten breakfast and were on our way to play mini-golf (quieter day for us as we were going to MNSSHP in the evening). When we got off the bus at AK my daughter immediately talked of her head hurting. It was easy to see the heat was the problem and she needed more water. Since I had forgotten to grab a couple of bottles from our fridge in the room we quickly made our way to the store outside AK and purchased bottles of water using snack credits. I will admit to feeling a pang of guilt in doing so until within minutes of starting to drink it my DD began to perk up.
I want to share, regardless of what people may tell you, if you want water, get water using a snack credit. I can't tell you the number of times I have heard people preach (myself included) not to use snack credits for water but I stand corrected! If you want to use every single snack credit for water then go for it! Keeping our bodies properly hydrated is far more important then using snack credits for the biggest and most expensive snack in the park!
