Hi Jill!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I'm so excited that you're bringing your
Mouseketeer to meet Mickey and his pals! Be sure to look into Disney's
Memory Maker, which is a one-and-done PhotoPass package. I absolutely love this service because as a fellow mom of a little one I can be present in those once-in-a-lifetime moments, both mentally and physically, and let a professional capture the magic for us.
My son was 14 months old and still needing a few bottles a day when he first visited Walt Disney World Resort. You can certainly find complimentary non-bottled water all over, from both water fountains as well as Quick-Service dining locations. But my favorite free water is in
Disney's Baby Care Centers. These locations usually have those filtered 5-gallon tower dispensers that can either cool or warm the water as it's dispensed. Baby Care Centers are super clean, calmer, air conditioned locations where you can do everything from change a diaper to take a short break. There's even a full kitchen complete with a bottle warmer and an oven to heat foods for older children.
You're also more than welcome to bring your own food and beverages into the parks, including bottled water. I actually highly recommend this, because when a hungry baby gets hangry, you might not have time or the ability to search the parks for water. We visited over the summer with three of my best mom friends and our collective five children, all of whom were under three. One was still drinking formula, and decided she needed a bottle in the middle of Pirates of the Caribbean! Luckily her mom was prepared and was ready to go.
I hope this helped, Jill, and We'll See You Real Soon!
