If you’re looking for the best water bottle for Disney look no further! You can’t go to Disney without one (at least we think so!) and this post will help you find the right water bottle for your trip.
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!
Staying hydrated helps you keep your energy levels up even in the intense Florida heat which we all know is necessary to do all the Disney things you want to do!

We just spent 4 days at Disney and let me tell you, having our own reusable water bottle in our backpack available to drink as we needed helped us so much!
Even on the day that it was cooler we still drank a ton of water since we were able to fill it up throughout the day and not have to pay for it. The last thing you want it to deal with heat exhaustion or the dreaded Disney rash (which yes, dehydration plays a part in!) because you’re not drinking enough water.
We actually even packed some Liquid I.V. packets for extra hydration. We put these in our water bottles at the end of the day and started every morning with them to stay extra hydrated. We just used the tap water in our room and added some ice from the ice machine. It worked great!

Let’s answer a few questions about bringing a water bottle to Disney before we get into our top picks.
First up, the most common question!
Can I bring my own water bottle into Walt Disney World?
Yes, you can bring your own 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 glass bottles. 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). Plastic bottles are lighter and will make your bag less heavy. At home we use aluminum water bottles – when we go to Disney we bring plastic.
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 Hydro Flask or 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 refill 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 regular water fountains.
We actually had a hard time finding them during our last trip to Disney. Our best option was to ask for water at quick-service locations and fill up our water bottles that way.
You are also able to get free ice water from any of the quick service dining options. Simply pour your cup of water into your refillable water bottles. This is what we did most of trip and it was a great way to have cold drinks all day long.

Currently you can find water bottle refilling stations at the following locations:
Disney’s Magic Kingdom
- Inside Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe
- At TRON Lightcycle Run
