Guide to Disney World Water Bottle Refill Stations

Guide to Disney World Water Bottle Refill Stations

Disney World has numerous water fountains and hydration stations located throughout the parks, where you can refill your water bottle for free. You can also purchase bottled water from various vendors and restaurants in the parks. It’s important to stay hydrated while exploring the parks, especially during hot and humid weather, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Why Worry About Water?

Florida can be like the Devil’s Front Porch hot, and you might think you know hot, but the humidity will get you. We see it all the time, people who are not used to the heat and humidity having a bad day because they didn’t properly hydrate.

A good rule of thumb in a Florida summer – If you are feeling thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Sip water throughout the day to keep your body happy.

There are several reasons why staying hydrated with water is important while visiting Disney World:

  1. Prevent dehydration: Walking around the parks, standing in lines, and being exposed to the sun can cause dehydration, which can lead to fatigue, dizziness, and other symptoms. Drinking enough water helps to prevent dehydration.
  2. Maintain energy levels: Staying hydrated can help to maintain your energy levels, allowing you to fully enjoy the park without feeling tired or sluggish.
  3. Regulate body temperature: Drinking water helps regulate your body temperature, which is especially important on hot and humid days in Disney World.

PRO-TIP: If you are overheated and experiencing some symptoms of dehydration, take a break! You are welcome to go check out a baby care center in any of the 4 parks. These areas are quiet, tranquil, and blasting some air conditioning!

Why Bring Water Bottles to Disney World

With the need for constant rehydration, it’s a great idea to bring in your own water bottle! Disney World provides many opportunities to fill your bottle for free with water bottle refilling stations and free ice water!

You can find tons of different water bottles on Amazon, from ones for kids, to silicone ones that collapse when not in use, you can find the perfect fit for you and your family.

Water Bottle Refill Stations

Recently, Walt Disney World has begun modernizing their water fountains to include a water bottle refill area. Many of these drinking fountains have even been designed to match the land that they’re in!

Disney World provides several drinking fountains throughout the parks for the convenience of guests. These drinking fountains are typically located near restrooms, food and beverage locations, and other high-traffic areas.

FUN FACT: Attractions that Imagineers know are going to be huge hits are actually built with bathrooms and drinking fountains in the queue!

You can ask any Disney World employee for assistance with finding the nearest drinking fountain or consult the park map for their specific locations. Additionally, you may find helpful information about park amenities on the official Disney World website or mobile app.

Here is a list of some of the restrooms throughout the park that have water bottle refill stations:

Free Ice Water

Did you know – all Quick Service restaurants in Walt Disney World offer free ice water to guests upon request!  You can simply ask a Cast Member at any quick-service restaurant for a cup of iced water, and they will be happy to provide it for you.

Sometimes in the hottest part of the summer, Quick Service locations will even keep trays of ice water out for you to just walk up and get as many as you need.

As long as the location has a fountain beverage-style dispenser at their location, then they will have the free ice water.

 It’s a great way to stay hydrated during your visit, especially on hot and sunny days, and save some money!

Bottled Water

Buying Bottled Water

Guide to Disney World Water Bottle Refill Stations 7

Even though Disney World offers multiple ways to give you free water, they of course have a bunch of ways for you to spend money on water. Every snack cart, quick service, or walk up snack stand sells bottled water.

Since Disney World has a contract with Coca-Cola it is Dasani bottled water.

This water is always served cold, and it comes with a price. Bottles of water sell in Disney World for $3.99 per bottle. Yikes.

If you’re someone who only likes to drink bottled water, try this instead…

Bring Your Own Water Bottle

Walt Disney World has no rules against bringing in your own food and drinks. As long as you don’t bring in alcohol, glass, or loose ice (don’t ask), then you’re fine to bring in whatever you want!  And this goes for water, too.

Think about it: One bottle of water costs $3.99 in Disney, but a whole case of water costs about that at the Walmart just outside of Disney.

Consider either making a pit stop at the local grocery store or ordering grocery delivery before coming to the parks on your next vacation. It will save you hundreds!!

BONUS: Make Florida Water Taste… Better

So, Florida water has a flavor. Out of the mouths of babes, our kids call it “Gator Water”. It could not be more accurate. It truly tastes like swamp and reptiles.

Don’t worry! Here are a few tips on how to make the water more drinkable:

  • Ice, ice, baby! We fully take advantage of the ice water at Quick Service locations because when the water is ice cold you can’t taste anything.
  • Flavoring packets: You can carry water flavoring packets in your park bag no problem. Plus they have flavors for everyone. You have dye-free, sugar-free for the grown ups and Kool-aid for the kids
  • Mio: Mio is a squeeze in flavoring that is great because you can control the amount of flavoring you get. They also have caffeinated versions!
  • Bottled water: The sure fire way to not taste “gator water” is to just drink bottled.
