You are in Florida and it is hot and humid. What is the number one thing to do in those conditions? Drink water! When you are in Disney World it is vitally important that you stay hydrated, especially if you are there during the sticky summer months.
If we were your bossy older siblings, we would tell you that you MUST bring a water bottle with you into the Disney Parks. You will save money, save your health, and save your sanity!
How much is bottled water at Walt Disney World?
A bottle of Dasani water in Walt Disney World will cost you $3.50 at quick service restaurants and snack shops.
We would not at all be surprised to see the price of bottled water rise in the future.
Can I bring my own water bottle into Walt Disney World?
Yes, you can bring your own refillable water bottle into any of the four Walt Disney World Parks!
You are permitted to bring non-alcoholic beverages into the parks as long as they are not in a glass container. You can bring in any kind of water bottle you like.
We recommend bringing a lightweight plastic water bottle with you in your Disney park bag for several reasons.
First, you do not want to be carrying around extra weight from a heavy water bottle. If there are five people in your family consider carrying 5 metal water bottles all day long on your back (plus everything else).
Second, if you happen to set down your water bottle and walk away it won’t ruin your day to discover you lost it. We try to only bring things into the park that we know might get lost.
Of course, you might completely disagree with us and you may want to bring your amazing Yeti water bottle with you! That choice is completely up to you!
Can I refill my water bottle at the Disney World parks?
Yes, you can refill your water bottle! Each of the Disney Parks has drinking fountains or water bottle refilling stations.
You are more likely to find water bottle refilling stations at Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Pandora in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Some of the older parks, like the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, will mostly have drinking fountains.
You are also able to get free cups of water from any of the quick service dining options. Simply pour your cup of water into your water bottle.
Where are the water bottle refilling stations at Disney World?
Currently you can find water bottle refilling stations at the following locations:
Disney’s Magic Kingdom
- Cosmic Ray’s Cafe
EPCOT
- Near Starbucks in the World Showcase
- Odyssey Event Center
- EPCOT Experience
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
- By the entrance to Expedition Everest

- By the entrance to Flight of Passage

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

- The Transportation Plaza
Is the water at Walt Disney World drinkable?
Yes, the water at Walt Disney World is drinkable. You will find that there are a variety of opinions as to if the water tastes good! Some people think it tastes fine and others insist on bringing a water bottle with a filtration system built in.
If you choose to drink the water straight or use a filter, just make sure you drink water! Your body will thank you.
Can I use my refillable resort mug for water?
Yes, you can bring your refillable mug into the parks and fill it up with water. There are not soda stations for you to use in any of the parks. You can find out more about refillable mug pros and cons here.

8. Water Bottle with Filtered Straw – Survimate
Here is another great filtered water bottle option. This water bottle will give you clean, fresh water at all times. This water bottle is BPA free and extremely durable.
Let’s face it. We all know Disney water is gross, and it’s hard to get your water intake from the weird taste of it. I bought this in hopes that it would filter out that weird Orlando water taste and- it WORKED! The water tasted amazing, and was able to just keep filling up my water bottle at the water fountains (the fountains near Big Thunder Mtn tasted metallic, so just be warned it might depend on which fountain you get it from). It may also filter out some other bad tasting city water as well, and also worked for DC water. Definitely well worth the investment!

9. Stainless Steel Iron Flask Sports Water Bottle

This water bottle is insulated so it will not sweat and cause the items in your Disney Park bag to get all wet. You will have 28 different color options to choose from and a 100% satisfaction guaranteed promise!
I (Katie) personally own this water bottle and I love it. I use the straw lid and it works great! It keeps my water cold for a long time, fits in my car cupholder, and I love that I can throw it in my backpack when we go to our local amusement park and it doesn’t sweat!
Wow this was a great buy, we bought it for our Disney trip and it was great. Its not too bulky to keep in the side pocket on a backpack, the water stayed cold for hours and the mouth is big enough to slip ice in with no problem. FYI… you can ask for ice or water at the parks at no cost instead of paying for bottled water.
