SSR tap water

[Shelly F - Ohio]

Is the tap water at SSR drinkable or does it have the nasty mineral taste?

IMHO all Florida water has that nasty smell and taste. Disney is no different. We always drink bottles water when we are there.

I am a Floridian and I did not notice anything funny....but you shoudl buy bottled water as a backup.

We take our water filter with us know and have no problems drinking the water.

It's the same as everywhere else on property---sort of sulfury.

I lived in South Florida for years. Florida water is different. Comes out of the tap kind of warm. (it's hot in Florida most of the time )

Different doesn't mean bad, but if your're not in the mood for a possible stomach adventure, go with bottles.

Often when traveling, especially in sub tropical climates, water changes can cause gastric distress.

We live here and don't like the water. We feel certain it's safe, we just don't think it tastes particularly good. We use a water filter at the house and often order bottled water in restaurants. But it's just a taste thing. I've spent a lot of time in some fairly strange places (i.e. West Africa) where water quality really is an issue. I don't think you have to worry about your health. If it tastes OK, don't worry. If you don't like the taste, go for bottled water. I agree with the post about water temperature. When I was a kid growing up in Kentucky I really liked the tap water in the winter when it was cold. In Florida, it's always warm.

I drank the tap water at OKW a lot on our last trip. I would get the tap real cold and then fill my water bottle and put it in the refrigerator overnight. It tasted just fine. Straight out the tap was not as good, though.

Yuck. The water at SSR tastes like the water everywhere in Disney World. I won't even make coffee with it. I'm sure it's safe to drink - I just can't stand the taste.

One nice thing about bottled water at the parks--you can use the fridge in your DVC villa to freeze a few bottles (assuming they're plastic), then stick one in your fanny pack on a hot day. It's the gift that gives twice: cool fanny and cool refreshment!

My wife got sick on every trip to WDW. We finely figured out that it was the water. Drink only bottled water. When we make tea in the morning we make it with our own bottled water. We no longer order coffee, tea or fountain drinks. The water on Disney Cruise Line is fine. They make their own.

When we stayed in December - it was cloudy and even if coffee it tasted yukky, so we had to use bottled water for that even. Mind you - the water where i live is disgusting to, so we're used to it!
