Water quality?

[leebee]

The smell and taste of water at the Disney resorts used to be disgusting; we ALWAYS bought bottled water for making coffee in the room in the morning. However, over the past few years I don't remember noticing the water smelling badly. Has anyone tasted the water in the hotel rooms recently, or noticed that funny, bad smell the water used to have? I'm trying to decide if I should have water shipped to the room, bring a Brita filter, or just not worry about my morning coffee!

I was the same. For many years never liked the taste or smell of the water - even for coffee. Years ago we would put an order in for a few things, go to Publix (if we had our car) or one of my kids with their families always put an order in and I ordered a case.

The last few trips, I did not notice the smell or bad taste at all but still preferred my own.

I just got back last week. I really wanted a case of water - not sure it was worth ordering (water and sunscreen). I would have loved to find someone arriving at the same resort and pay them for the water if they were putting an order in.

I brought an empty water bottle from home (with two ounces of water/so I could throw it out after a day or two). My cousin and I each ordered one or two kids' meals - I usually do anyway. We kept the small bottles. We both need water in the evening and the morning for medication.

I would put the water through the coffee machine (throw first one out and I always wash the coffee pot first). Let it cool off and then refrigerate. It worked for us great. There are also water filled stations spread around. Of course, I could not figure out how to use it and never bothered to ask someone. I might for my next trip coming up soon.

I just get some water from the foodcourt dispensers the night before to keep in our room if we want to make coffee super early. I don’t mind the taste of that.
