When it comes to surviving Disney World, water is our number one priority!
We need a good water bottle!
Having a water bottle in Disney World might feel like a hassle to some, but it really is the number one way to survive the heat and keep trekking through your park day! While we have a large water bottle collection, there is one that stands above the rest!
Simple Modern Water Bottle
The Simple Modern!
This water bottle is SO cute and offers a great subtle touch of Disney. It’s pretty large and functional. It doesn’t keep the water as cold as we would have liked, especially compared to the other brands we’re going to talk about. The water temperature would hold for a few hours, but if you’re looking for ice-cold water, it’s not going to do that for the entire day. It did make our trip easier, but it also might not fit into the side of every backpack.
The lid!
It didn’t sweat throughout the day, and the top was easy to use! It was spill-proof, which we appreciated, but it didn’t stand out to us as much as the others!
Hydro Flask
The Hydro Flask!
Next up is the Hydro Flask! This one is a bit smaller compared to the ones we’re testing, so if you need something smaller, this might be your guy. The slim design makes it better for cup holders, backpacks, and more because it doesn’t take up as much space. Its top is easy to flip up and down and locks securely to keep it from spilling!
The top!
It held our water for over 6 hours, staying cold on the side of our bag while being exposed to the sun the entire time. It didn’t sweat, but the straw wasn’t working like we would have wanted it to. When you try to sip from it, we had a hard time sipping from a tilted angle. We were only able to get a full sip if our face was completely above the straw and not tilted like you might be more naturally inclined to do with a cup.
Yeti Water Bottle
Our Yeti!
This water bottle gets a resounding YES from us! This one was pricier compared to the others, but it is so good. It’s vacuum insulated, so it kept our water cold for hours. It holds only 2 ounces more the the Hydro Flask, but the bulkier design helps keep the water colder when exposed to the sun directly outside of my bag. It also comes with a second straw as a replacement or to swap out between cleanings, which was nice, and it has a registered warranty with it.
The top!
The flip top is easy to maneuver and has an air flow valve to keep the water stream flowing through your sips. The handle is static and doesn’t flip down. That might bother someone who’s looking for a more flushed design. We really, really liked this one’s functionality.
Owala
We love our Owala water bottle!
If you’ve been around, you’ve heard about our love of Owala water bottles! It’s totally a favorite brand that proves itself time and time again. It’s got a great design that comes in lots of different colors. It’s also got a soft close spout to it that locks with another layer to keep it spill-proof while you’re carrying it around and especially in your bag. It doesn’t sweat on the outside and keeps your drink cold along with your ice for several hours, even on some of the hottest days.
The inside!
There’s not a lot of fault we can find with these. Their size is slim but ideal to hold quite a lot without the extra bulk. They’re easy to take apart and clean for reuse, plus they’ve even stood up to even the hardest drops on the ground.
Stanley
Our Stanley!
Our number one spot goes to the Stanley water bottle! We love everything about this one! The handle flips down on both sides for easy carrying, and the top has a very flush design to it. It’s slimmer like the Hydro Flask but hefty enough to really do what it says in keeping the water cold and even keeping ice in your drink for several hours.
Stanley IceFlow
We think our favorite feature is the lid to it — it completely comes apart so you can really dig into clean it. There’s nothing we would change about this water bottle, and that’s pretty impressive for us!
There are so many amazing ways to stay hydrated in Disney World, but you can catch us with our Stanley and our Owala almost every day! Be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more Disney necessities and finds!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
I LOVE my Yetis! They are the most durable water bottle I’ve used – all other brands have leaked on me but Yeti never lets me down
