Water in parks

[Reese]

I have five children that really only drink water, not big juice or pop fans. We have the filters for the water brita water bottles but can not find the bottles anymore. Would it work to just bring our brita (big square one) into the park and leave it in the bottom of the stroller. That way we can just fill it up from the fountain and fill up a bottle for the kids. I just know in order to lug in enough water for the day I'de be carrying a knapsack that weighs more than our toddler, and I also would prefer not to spend a fortune on water in the park. Any suggestions?

We always carry our own water into the park. We would refill our bottles each night and keep them in the fridg. our in our cooler on ice. We would wrap them up in the morning and put them into the a soft sided cooler and place in the stroller. It works well.

that should work fine, but I am not sure that even a Brita filter could mask the nasty taste of the water at WDW. I found it very disgusting and could not even drinkt eh tea or lemonade made with it. When we were there all the water, water rides, and waterfalls had a VERY STRONG sulphur (sp?) odor to it. I have never used a brita filter so I don't know how well they actually filter out odors and tastes.

I have never done this, from what I have read you can go to any food vendor anywhere in WDW and get a free cup of ice water.
As bad as Florida water is, I find it not so bad from the fountains in the park. Maybe because it's because I get so thirsty from all the walking.

So security will not have a problem with me bringing in my big brita filter?

I just bought 2 on Ebay yesterday!!!! I got 2 bottles with 4 filters for $24.00 including shipping!!! There are a few auctions that are for only bottles, some only filters and some for both! HTH!

My kids drink only water, also, and my wife and I drink mostly water. I'd read all sorts of negative reviews of the water at WDW, but we had absolutely no problems with it. I didn't notice any taste or odor. But then again except for the last 7 years I'd always lived in big cities, so maybe my taste buds are dulled.

We brought bottled water into the parks for convenience of being able to carry it so easily. When a bottle ran out, we refilled from a water fountain.

LOL the pitcher and filter should work. Water is safe to drink from tap, but has NASTY taste. Don't know if filter can even help that!!!! We requested fridge in our room and froze 3 large bottles every night so we had cold water. If these ran out we did fill from park fountains <gag> but the thirstier you are the less you notice the very unique bouquet that only WDW water can provide. Good luck. P.S. Water we filled our bottles with was from soft drink dispenser at our resorts food court. The water from our rooms taps was also WDW nasty.

You can get a cup of ice water free. We don't mind the taste of the water. We drink tap water at home. It was easier for us to just order cups of ice water than to carry bottles of water around.
