Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Katrina!
We always bring our own water bottles whenever we visit the parks because we happen to be a thirsty bunch! According to the
Disneyland Resort Park Rules, the only types of containers that are prohibited are glass containers. I find that skinny, plastic water bottles that fit nicely into a backpack work best. You can also use a hydration pack like a CamelBak if you wish. To refill your water bottle throughout the day, there are several
drinking fountains located in the parks, or you can request free cups of ice water at any quick service dining location.
In addition to staying hydrated, it's also important to cool off from time to time. One of the places I frequent to escape the heat is the Opera House in Town Square on Main Street, U.S.A. You can view a collection of historic Disneyland memorabilia including a scale model of Disneyland Park as it was on opening day in 1955. If time allows, step into the theatre and enjoy a showing of
Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln - a true Disneyland classic!
I hope you have a wonderful visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!
