universal bans bottled water

[Lisa loves Pooh]

I'll tell you right now if they made me dump expressed milk or formula I would never give them another dollar. Other parents should feel the same way.

That's ridiculous.

So far only hearsay. But I would like to know if it is true. Because it is egregious and extremely poor customer service that cannot be explained away--regardless of how much people want to try to do so.

You can fill up your empty water container at the coke freestyle machines throughout the park. Water is available at the machine without the microchip cup. You can take your own empty water bottle and fill it up there

Baby formula/expressed milk is a completely different issue than bottled water. I wouldn't assume not taking issue with the bottled water restriction would equate to not taking issue with Universal dumping out baby formula/expressed milk. Baby formula/expressed milk is not something Universal provides for free in the park.

I understand that they can change their policy whenever they want, but, ugh, how wasteful and what poor customer service. Surely they could have put out a notice at least a day or two in advance on their website.

If I can bring in an empty water bottle to fill inside a park, that is fine with me. My biggest beef is with the waste of materials. People often don't recycle their plastic bottles (although, those same people are probably never going to bring their own water bottle anyway). Plus, even though we do recycle, I hate having a piece of unnecessary waste in the first place, something that I could have avoided with my reusable bottle. And the free paper cups are equally wasteful. I also don't want to drink water out of a heated/cooled/heated/cooled plastic bottle where lord knows what has leeched into that water.

Now, the whole formula thing is outrageous. I don't use formula, but, depending on baby's age, you're not supposed to use fluoridated water? That forces you to buy bottled water. Don't even speculate on dumping breast milk! I would be furious if someone caused a problem for my baby. Mama Bear rawr!
