Hi guys..
I have seen that a couple of you suggest taking your own bottled water into the parks to save on drinks costs.. A while back, I emailed Disney directly to ask them if we could take beverages into the park (for the kids in our family) and they said no.... Are we actually allowed to do it? Just water bottles I mean.. If so, I'll buy them before hand at a convenience store and keep them in out CBR fridge
Thanks for all the GREAT tips xx
We've never had a problem bringing in water bottles, or for that mattter, a few Diet Coke cans. We also bring in some snacks in zip locs.
A lot of people bring in frozen bottles of water that melt during the day giving you some very refreshing water to drink. Unlike some people, I don't hate the taste of Disney's tap water so when I want some water I just ask for some, with ice, from a vendor.
(My mom usually carries the bottles) You can carry those small tubes of Crystal Lite, etc., to add to the water if you object to the taste.
HTH.
Oh, and I agree about renting a car. This will be our 10th trip to WDW and we always rent a vehicle. Haven't used Disney Transportation yet. Saves alot of time when going to other restorts to eat. And saves on souvenirs. Also, my DM refuses to do Disney for 11 days in a row. We always check out other places in Florida. Last year we checked out Merrit Island. Year before was Sanibel Island and Anna Marie Island.
We've even used the car (van) to go to Sams's Club to have pictures developed (before I bought a larger digital card) and grabbed a quick bite-pizza or hot dogs, and a case, or two, of water.
So my tip would be to get a larger media card for your digital camera. And bring at least 2 cards. Also, buy an extra battery if yours doesn't use regular batteries (like mine doesn't). I hate to run out of battery power before the end of the day (on both my still, and video, cam.)
