I guess I am a little confused. Do you mean will Disney let you fill up the sippy cup for free? The only time that would happen is for the free water that everyone gets and they will hand it to you in a paper cup that you will have to transfer yourself. I haven't seen gatorade in parks, but I could have missed it. I do know they sell vitamin water at the carts, they have a diet one and a regular one.

Ditto to what ArchOwl said. I'll also add that at least some of the counter service restaurants (such a Plaza Inn) have blue Powerade as an option from the soda fountain.

In addition to counter service locations, there are some cold filtered water spigots throughout DL that you can use to refill anything. Check out this thread by the lovely and talented 3Minnies1Mickey:

sorry i didnt mean for free..i dont expect anything for free. LOL...
I just didnt want my son drinking hot gatarade, so i was wondering if (for a fee) would fill my sons sippy cup.
Thanks! for the info.

You may want to look into bringing individual powder packets. There are a lot of sport drink or low-sugar drink varieties that you can just dump in the cup, add cold water from the park, and shake away.

Yes, you can get either for free.

We always take the gatoraide packs and then add them to the sippy. They are so small they are worth the savings and we can break them out anywhere without having to wait in line. Be sure to check out the thread posted above on the filtered cold water locations in the parks.

They won't refill any cups, so you'd have to do the purchase and then transfer to the sippy route. I agree that if you're looking for something specific that you can get in a powder form, then bringing it in yourself is probably your best bet.

Gosh, I don't like being this person on a thread, but toddlers and Gatorade is a combination that needs further scrutiny. Obviously I don't know your situation, but Gatorade is full of sugar and electrolytes which can be tough for a body (i.e., kidneys, weight) to process if it is not a requirement (e.g. athlete, diarrhea). Pediatricians recommend limiting consumption for regular hydration. Just google "Gatorade and toddlers OR children" or something similar for more information.

ty and yes i'm taking powdered mixs iI think they have the kind you are looking for too. we got crystal light, and koolaid and the mio stuff

 

[nolatime]

actually i only said gatarade becuz i wanted something else other then water. My son hasnt drink gatarade in years, he drinks water and organic and no sugar added juices. I just "assumed" there wasnt going to be any of "those" types of drinks in the park.

Disney only sells Coke products. Power Ade and Vitamin Water.

Watch the Vitamin Water it contains more sugar than Power Ade.

I pack some Nestea or Crystal Light pkgs and add them to the free ice water. I bought some of the Mio recently, but I doubt I will pack that I don't want any of that leaking in my bag. Not sure if I will even need anything to add to the water in CA. I know the water in FL tastes bad. Of course our water up here is really good.

I'm pretty sure you can get juice boxes (apple seems like what I've seen), and I believe there is frozen apple juice available at a few locations. My girls either drink water (we bring water bottles with a filter) or get milk with there kids meals. I usually bring Hawaiian punch or Crystal light packets, but we rarely use them.

We took refillable cups and ziplock bags of Gatorade and lemonade powders and a measuring spoon. My girls loved having the option of something other than water to drink. They won't drink soda of any kind.

Gatorade is OK when a child will be sweating a lot. I would MUCH rather take Gatorade with sugar than anything with toxic artificial sweeteners. Aspartame (Nutrasweet) and sucralose (Splenda) are both neurotoxins and dangerous to the body - especially children whose brain and nerve system are still developing.
