You can get free water in a cup from the counter service restaurants, just ask.

We all have Camel-Bac backpacks. It is so easy to refill them when needed. They also have enough room to carry all the other things we need for they day. In fact there is one small enough that my 5 and 7 year old were able to carry their own water the last time we went.

I would also throw in…if at all possible, get the meal plan, and then book every place you want to eat at early in the 90 day period. Book the most expensive places you can that are within the 1 full service window (most are). You eat like a king, and all you have to worry about is the tip. I think that when I last stayed on property, it was around $40 a day. That was less than the price of our one full service meal! Such a money saver.

Maybe L.A. area is the problem? I have never had anything stolen in all of my time at the parks, and my family and I have been pass holders since I was a baby.

I totally agree with you. Those who say to take the water fountains away have never been to Florida in July. Also, I am not about to spend $4 on every drink as fast as water is consumed. I have never gotten sick from a water fountain, and I have been drinking out of them since…oh…kindergarten?

You’ve really never had a problem with theft from a stroller? How about the stroller itself? I went to Disneyland in Los Angeles a few years ago and was there all of 30 minutes where I saw a woman casually walk up and start to walk off with a loaded stroller that wasn’t hers. I had to step in and stop her. Her reaction clearly indicated that she had done that before without any interference.

In florida, heat exhaustion is a greater risk with a fatality issue to consider. Drink water whenever you can and ignore the germaphobes. I’ve been going to WDW for 38 years and never have nor has anyone in my family, friends or acquaintences ever been ill from a water fountain. JPC is completely out of line suggesting something as dangerous as removing water fountains from public acess.

I don’t think it’s responsible to recommend refilling bottles from water fountains. In this day, it puts yourself and your children at great risk. We should be taking such health hazards away and, if not, should refuse to use them.
