Hoping this isn't too weird of a question...
I, personally, think the water at WDW tastes funky. I know I can't be the only one out there who feels this way. Has anyone tried bringing one of the water filter containers (such as Brita) to help with the taste? I don't really want to buy bottled water the entire time we are there...
Any tips are appreciated! :mickey:
The water is funky not just at WDW but everywhere in Florida! :sick:
I've not tried the filter bottles but you could also try those Crystal Lite flavor packets. You'll still be drinking water but with a nicer taste.
I have a Brita single use water bottle with a filter top, which I use all the time at DW:thumbsup:, as I too don't like the taste of the water:sick:. Unfortunately, you can't buy them anymore, but there must be another company that does. I even use it to filter water for brushing my teeth etc., works great. Paying upwards of $3 a bottle for water just hurts in too many ways.
As Shelley said, it is FL water in general that has that taste. I lived there for 2 years and it was just horrible. In some places, even a Brita or the other brand (can't remember) that you attach to the faucet don't help.
We bring our own bottled water into the parks and have never had a problem. We go to a local grocery store and pick up a 20 pack or whatever (this way we have some for at the room too) and stick a few bottles into my son's diaper bag. Then once we've drank them, we refill them at a water fountain and use the Crystal Light or Kool-Aid packets, which really do help to hide the FL water taste.
Thanks everyone! I think I will try the pitcher. I brought those packets last time and I still tasted "the funk" even through the added flavoring. I'll give the filter a whirl this time! :thumbsup:
Equally bad is the Dasani (Coke) water. We usually order a large case of water from the Garden Grocer to get a better brand while still keeping the cost down.
I often bring my 5 cup Bretta water pitcher with me on vacation and my stainless steel water bottle to refill. While in the parks I will ask for a large cup of water and refill my water bottle with that. The pitcher can hold small items in my suitcase, so the space it takes up isn’t a total loss. 5 cup pitchers are hard to find, I got mine on amazon. Beware of crushing in the suitcase, I have a hard shell.
ShopRite still sells the filtered water bottle. So does Amazon. I've been traveling with them for years.
