Summer is upon us, and that means mega HOT temperatures and high humidity in Disney World. It’s important to stay hydrated no matter what time of year you visit, but this is especially true in the summer months.
Luckily, Disney World provides free ice water at many of its dining locations across the four theme parks. In addition to picking up a cup of water with your lunch or dinner at Disney World’s counter service restaurants, there are a number of kiosks and walk-up locations that also provide cups of ice water.
Remember that you can always ask for a cup of ice water when you pick up your food via Mobile Order at counter service restaurants. Just keep in mind that lately Disney World has not been allowing guests to enter the restaurant just to pick up a cup of water. If that’s the case, they will likely direct you to another location nearby that offers free water.
Magic Kingdom
- All Joffrey’s locations
- Main Street Bakery (Starbucks — Main Street, U.S.A.)

- Sleepy Hollow (Liberty Square)

Pandora has multiple water fountain and water bottle refill stations since they don’t have another dining location other than Satu’li Canteen with the ability to prove free water.
Don’t forget to make sure everyone in your travel party is properly hydrated on your next Disney World vacation! In addition, you shouldn’t feel the need to spend money on Dasani bottles every time you need water (those will add up quickly!) — save your vacation dollars and grab free cups of ice water!
