Hess gas station

[yesmylove]

Does anyone know if the Hess gas station outside of downtown Disney sells bottled water by the case and if so do you know the brand?
Thanks

I'm not sure the kind of water they sell, but I bet it is affordable. I bought my DH some beer there and noticed the prices are the same or better as a regular gas station from home.

It would be either Dasani or Zephyrhills. I'd lean towards Dasani. If no one knows I can stop by tomorrow and check for you.

Thank you, that is so kind of you but please don't go to the trouble. l'm looking for the information for my aunt who is going in March, she will only drink bottled water. l myself find the Dasani water has a very strong mineral taste and don't care for it. l told her that she can get water at any of the quick service restaurants or at the resorts and it taste fine, but she wants bottled and wants to get a case. Thank you again for your offer.

Dasani is just tap water. They purify it, then add minerals in to try to make it taste like it is natural spring water. That's probably why it doesn't taste quite right.

Okay - I headed out to get lunch and had extra time before the kids get out if school so I zipped over to check or you and boy am I glad I did!!

A. They have Dasani 24 packs for 5.99
B. they have a Dunkin self serve station there! Pretty sure this is the closest dunkies to me AND I don't have to go on 192 to get here!

Depending on where you are staying, there is also a Hess Express right near the Boardwalk. I have found it was easier to just Bus from one of the resorts to the Boardwalk, or Bus to Hollywood Studios and walk to hess from there. In any event, the Hess (circled in red) is about .25 mi from the front doors of the Boardwalk resort and less than that from the Boardwalk bus stop (circled in yellow).

I did check the one at the exit of DHS actually as it was closest - I figure they all have it.

Thanks for checking for me, that's not a bad price for the water l was expecting it to be a lot more. My cousin will have to walk out to get it for her as she is in a wheel chair she has a lot of problems with her legs and feet. They are staying at Pop Century.
Thanks again.

I had a case of water shipped to me from the costco in orlando it was about 8 bucks, I had no problems at all star sports getting it but the Contemporary lost it however they replaced it with a case of dasani. Costco has different brands of water, water is water to me.

Every now and then, I learn something amazing on these boards. Being from NJ, I never even considered that the Hess Station may have beer.

Pray tell, does anyone know the selection?

Can't say for sure... but it was a wide enough selection... and I did see a guy buying a single green glass bottle... but it was tall.

They've got your basica selection of domestic cans in 12 packs. They also have a small selection of some import 6 packs (Corona, heineken, etc).

We always fly with a soft cooler with us as a carry on, then use beer from the Hess at the pools and hot tubs.

Yes I have read that they have good prices but still have the same Coke products only restriction.

 

[ARAITHEL]

it was definitely worth it for me to go to Hess. On vacation, DH loves to have a few at night. 8$ a beer at the convenience store at the resort is a little pricey! I think that station also had a small selection of garden variety liquor too just in case you needed a rum and coke.

Anyone recall how much the beer was? Is it that much cheaper than buying a few in your resort gift shop?

Yes, prices were slightly better than what you might find at home (where you live), but probably like $13 12/pack for something domestic (Bud, Bud Light etc)

Dasani for sure, I believe they also have Aquafina and SmartWater now (I know they have SmartWater in the parks). I don't like Dasani either. The green bottle was likely either a bottle of Pellegrino or Perrier. Which are gross, in my opinion. I'm absurdly picky about water (I HATE the fountain water at WDW, I might as well drink pool water with all that chlorine) but the water you get from QS is fine. I don't think they have Zephyrhills, but I think they have Nestle Purelife.

I was actually talking about a beer in the green glass bottle.

They do have SmartWater at the Hess too ~ 2/$3.

Dasani is where it is at WDW. While I don't HATE it, it is pretty much tap water in run through a filter in a bottle. Not worth the money IMHO.
