Hydration Pack Water Rucksacks

I'm thinking about purchasing a few of these for the disney family. Planning to use them in Florida this year last two weeks August. Has anyone used them in Florida/Disney.

The water inside. Will get very warm throughout the day, personally would prefer to get iced water when needed

Not in Florida. They can get a little heavy depending on who is carrying them. I agree with Scottsman, just get iced water when you need it.

On the bike i have a 2 litre source bladder and even in the UK by the end of a ride the water is warm from the heat off your back and temp due to the blackbag.

I would avoid them in florida for parks and echo the comments above.

if you do use them take some teabags with you and you can always make some tea at the end of the day

Ask at any counter service location for iced water and they’ll give you a small cup.

My plan when we last went was to get two smallish water bottles and clip them onto lanyards for my two children to wear so I wouldn't forever be dishing out drinks for them. I thought it was a great idea but I'm not even sure they held them much beyond the first hour in the park.

For the remainder of the holiday I carried water bottles in a rucksack which got topped up as and when with free cold water. It didn't bother me carrying them around.

We found the collapsible bottles from sports direct really useful, they are thin plastic so they inflate when you put water in them.
They also come with a karabina clip so easy to clip onto bags etc. Even those get warm in the sun, and they are only 500 ml. So would use them for when we were in the queues and not able to get iced water from a counter.

Free iced water at any quick service. No need to carry anything round with you.

It’s all choice really. We find stopping for iced water a constant bind, having to queue up and getting only a few mouthfuls means we find ourselves heading for water more than I would like. We tend to use 2x 500ml water bottles which we pre fill with ice and juice before we head off (or freeze one the night before to thaw out). We then buy ‘Crystal Light’ powder sachets from the super market and when we run out of water we use a water fountain to fill them back up and put a couple of sachets of the powder into the drink as their fountain water isn’t very nice (1st world problems I know).
