Re: Really Cheapskate Tip

I always get ICE WATER from counter service places in Disney... as long as it's cold, it's good... and it's FREE. You don't need to even carry a bottle around unless you like to sip all day as opposed to downing a drink ever couple hours. We've added flavors to the ice water too... those little packets are quite easy to carry around.

I agree completely. When the FL water is room temp or just cool, it's disgusting. An overwhelming smell and taste of sulphur. But when it's really ice cold, the taste is quite diminished and easier to drink. So putting just plain water into a bottle to carry around with you will taste gross and you would need the flavor packet. If you drink it fresh and ice cold it will be fine by itself.

Re: Really Cheapskate Tip
I carry the pre-sweetened lemonade flavor packets with me to use in my ice water.

Re: Really Cheapskate Tip
I tend to pic-pocket the people around me. It seems to help. LOL
No seriously......the best tip I have bring your own food for breakfast. We keep a bag of granola bars, etc in the hotel room to start our day so we don't spend lots of $ to start the day off. If you fly you could stop at a local store and stock up. |
