Water Bottle Refill Stations

I have never seen anything like that, but it would be amazing if they had those.

Don't give them any ideas, they'll end up charging for using it.
and right now they have the free drinking fountains, which ta da! you can also use to refill your water bottle. I guess Disney hasn't figured that out yet. :secret:

I would love to see some of those around Disney!

Right now, we just get the free ice water from the CS places, always cold, and we don't have to carry anything.

Those units are common at educational facilities and maybe newer commercial facilities. They are a great idea to encourage reusable containers vs. disposable bottles, but I doubt Disney would want to forego whatever it is that they are charging for 20oz water bottles today. $2-$4?

This would be awesome!

They have them at various airports. I just wonder if they are filtered water or not or just the same water tapped from the water fountain? Probably the same quality water as a water fountain with the added space for a bottle.

We bring our own refillable bottles with the filtered top and refill from the water fountains. We also ask for iced water from the CS venues as well whenever we stop to eat.

I've used them before and I don't think it's filtered but much easier and quicker to refill water bottes.

I know you can ask for a cup of water at any vendor or dining location and they will provide one for free.

Yes, but many places will only give you a tiny 4oz cup...

I'm sorry you've had that happen! The only place we've gotten a small cup was at the Electric Umbrella, and we assumed that was because they have the self-serve station. Some places gave us the regular size drink cup, and many places the large drink cup.

I wonder if it is up to each place to decide what to offer?

I was surprised on our trip in June that many of the places we got ice water from actually gave it out in the regular (16 oz???) size soda cups. I always just buy bottled water in the parks (can't stand the flavor of the water -- even from the QS locations) but my 12 yo was fascinated with getting something for free so any time someone said they were thirsty, she was off to the nearest food service place asking for ice water. There were some places that gave the smaller (8 oz????) size cups, but more than half of the places she got water from used the bigger cups. Maybe they bump up the cup size during the summer.

I've learned to ask for a LARGE cup of ice water. If you don't, it's a total mystery what size you will get.

We have always been given a regular sized cup of ice water no matter the park or venue at Disney.

Disney is all about hydration now and they are giving lots of hints as to where to get water. In EPCOT lots of the water fountains are cold and taste fine.
