Would you drink the tap water in Florida, or buy bottled water

I don’t like buying bottled water because of concerns about plastic waste and it’s effect on the environment.

I’m sure the drinking fountains water is good, but would you drink other tap water?

Bottled water every time, but only spring water, not just bottled, filtered tap water.

Water from restaurants is fine too ... it's iced. Fountain water is fine, but lukewarm.

In WDW anywhere that sells sodas will give you filtered ice water for free.

I don't have health concerns about drinking tap water in Orlando but... It tastes terrible! Same goes for the drinking fountains.

As others have said Disney will happily give you free cups of water (with or without ice)

Nothing wrong with the tap water but you can always buy a filter bottle if you prefer or a filter jug from Walmart and filter your own ( or take one ) .

Nothing wrong with drinking the water in Florida (safety-wise), I've done it a LOT but it's not the best tasting water out there. You can buy gallon containers rather than smaller bottles so less plastic waste if you reuse a smaller bottle or reusable container. Every time you buy a fountain soda (Coke, Sprite) you are drinking the tap water, so may as well get used to it!

We never drink tap water be it here/at home. Bokeelia tap water oft has an unpleasant strong chlorine smell/taste, even brushing teeth can be a challenge on some occasions. We have a Brita filter at home, whilst the fridge/freezer here has a changeable cartridge.

Orlando tap water is like London tap water but worse. Safe to drink but tastes vile.

We do drink it but have a cold water machine in the villa we just buy the huge containers for it and take it back to be refilled and we use reusable water bottles here
It's passable but makes awful tea but we live in an area of Scotland that has really soft water so that's why it just drinkable if need must
