When it comes to Disney World needs, there are very few more important than a water bottle! After all, staying hydrated is ESSENTIAL to a trip to the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”
Little Mermaid Owala
If you’re in the market for a new water bottle, Amazon offers several options. Which of them is best for you? Let’s find out!
Let’s Begin with This 24 oz OWALA
We love staying hydrated in Disney style!
Available in many colorways, including several Disney Princess-related designs, the bottle is made from an insulated stainless-steel body and features a FreeSip spout designed for either sipping upright through the built-in straw or tilting back to swig from the spout opening. The bottle also features a protective push-to-open lid that keeps the spout clean, a convenient carry loop that doubles as a lock, double-wall insulation that keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours, a wide opening for cleaning and adding ice, and a cup holder-friendly base.
Rapunzel Owala
This water bottle is a favorite of several members of our team, as it lives up to its promise of keeping drinks cold. We once filled it up at 8 AM and still had ice in the bottle at 10 AM THE NEXT DAY. It definitely makes a trip easier in that regard, as you won’t need to keep stopping to buy water.
This Simple Modern Water Bottle has a Subtle Disney Touch
The Simple Modern!
This 23 oz Simple Modern water bottle worked well for us as well. Its subtle Disney touch is cute, but the bottle itself is also deceptively large to the eye, given how much it can hold. However, it didn’t keep the water as cool as some of the other double-insulated brands we’ve tested. It functionally does its job well, but it wouldn’t surprise me if you found yourself dumping out water that had been in your bottle after a few hours, getting warmer, in favor of fresher, colder water.
This Hydro Flask Cascade Tumbler is Comfortable in Hand
The Hydro Flask!
This 24 oz tumbler — available in several colors, including a smart blue — features a comfortable, flexible handle; the leakproof straw cap is easy to open and close with one hand. Its slim design makes it ideal for even the slimmest cup holders for your car or bag pockets. For a mid-priced insulated cup, it does a good job of keeping cold things cold longer. It also all comes apart easily for quick cleaning/rinsing and drying out.
The top flipped open
The bottle does the job well in those regards, but it wasn’t an overall favorite of our team. That wasn’t helped by the fact that our team members were only able to get a full sip if their face was completely above the straw and not tilted, naturally.
Did the Stanley Live Up to its Reputation?
Stanley IceFlow
The Stanley IceFlow Flip Straw 2.0 features AeroLight spun-steel insulation that makes it 33% lighter than standard stainless-steel bottles, a featherweight design that ensures easy portability without compromising on cooling performance, and a Flip Straw 2.0 lid designed for convenience and speed. The lid is engineered to be leak-resistant, so there aren’t any accidental leaks or spills.
The lid and sipper
We definitely found this bottle to be worth the money! We particularly love how the bottle completely comes apart so you can really dig in to clean it easily and thoroughly.
Finally, there’s the Yeti Rambler
YETI Rambler
This massive tumbler is made of stainless steel, which resists dents even on drops. The bottle also features double-wall vacuum insulation to keep drinks cold, and a no-sweat design to prevent condensation, all of which make this bottle VERY worth it to users who like heftier bottles. Now, that said, those who don’t particularly care for bulky bottles may want to go for something slightly smaller.
If you need one of these water bottles to stay hydrated during your next trip, head over to Amazon ASAP and stay tuned to DFB each week for more Disney essentials!
