Non-soda drinks question

[newestkg06]

Aside from soda, what sort of drinks are available at counter service restaurants (including in the cooler)? I'm assuming milk, water, and juice, but are there things like Odwalla, Naked juice, lemonade, etc.? I'm not completely against soda, it's just too much of it. I'd like to drink something healthier for at least part of the day. I tend to drink a lot of water, but it would be nice to have some "fancier" juice options too.
Thanks!

Tea. Sometimes they are flavored teas. Lemonade and pink lemonade in some places.

Best bet for good juices etc is in your resort marketplace.
Or have some delivered to your resort from amazon

We'll likely be on the dining plan, so drinks would be included with meals for us. I don't really want to order from amazon. We did a prime pantry order last time (with free quick service dining plan) and we had a ton leftover. With the plan changes with 2 snacks a day, it would be a waste.

I usually have luck finding a "light" lemonade. Then, I ask them to do 1/2 light lemonade and 1/2 water. For me, that's very refreshing.

I know the cooler at POFQ & POR had orange, apple and some sort of cranberry juice. If you are a resort with the freestyle machines there are flavor fruit drinks . There is also ice tea. The Gold Peak had green , unsweetened and 2 other ice tea options. There is usually some sort of light lemonade if they have the regular machines. The freestyle has regular & light with several flavor options.

We don't drink soda except for the rare occasion. But I have found that nearly every QS will have Unsweetened Iced Tea (and flavored as others have mentioned). Those have served us well.

The non-soda fountain drink available tends to be light lemonade, which I personally find annoying. I don't allow DD to have artificial sweeteners, and she doesn't like soda. There's also sometimes a sports drink available, which I also don't allow DD to have much of because it's just not healthy.

If you're on the dining plan you have access to several non-carbonated options. My favorite is the coconut elixir (a blend of pineapple, coconut water and cranberry juice). Check the drink menus at the table. There are several signature non-alcoholic drinks that are included in the dining plan. Have fun!

I will definitely ask as we order. I think I may just use some snack credits at Prince Eric's (it looks like they have Honest Ade and Odwalla juices), or for smoothies at Starbucks for a nice afternoon or late morning treat. Thanks for the help everyone! I know my kids will likely drink milk and apple juice and that seems available everywhere, but mom has become a drink snob after I gave up soda!

I gave up Diet Soda just over a year ago. I don't drink regular soda either. I have been drinking sparkling water or soda water as a treat. Last year when I went to Universal (Cabana Bay) they had the Freestyle machines so I was able to try out a bunch of flavored water since I bought the refillable mug.

Are there any Freestyle machines at the resorts or parks? Any place to find a list of them?

Or that nasty pomegranate lemonade, which also is usually diet.

I stopped drinking soft drinks a few years ago. I now drink sweet tea (Milo's... yum). I can't do artificial sweeteners, especially aspertame (gives me a nasty headache). So I'm also curious, as to what other options there are. I did pre-order milk for my meal at BOG. Sometimes though, milk is not the most refreshing thing on a really hot day.
