Everywhere we've tasted the water, it tastes like something that's burned, and it smells like a burned heating element! At first we just thought it was the tap water at our villa we're at the Marriott Grande Vista , but the shower water also smells like a burned heating element and the exhaust fan had that smell too, which is more expected but a bit alarming.
When we were at SeaWorld yesterday, the water in the drinking fountain had the same awful taste. We've had to buy gallons of spring water because it's so bad. What gives??? Joined Feb 18, Is this your first trip to Orlando? For a long time, I could not stand to drink Orlando's water - didn't even want to use it to brush my teeth. But after 13 years of Disney trips, I have gotten used to it.
Now it just is part of the "Disney experience" for me. For some reason, some areas of town seem to be worse than others. The MK's water seems to be worse than Epcot's.
You have done the smartest thing, to buy bottled water by the gallon. Or if you have a Brita pitcher or the like, it works well too. It is SAFE to drink. This would leave tastes and smells, hopefully not harmful to humans. Other Orlando area residents say that the local water has an overly chlorinated taste that they ignore. Still others say that they need a home water filtering system to make the water palatable.
Some residents and officials report that bird defecation and sand particles cause bad colors and odors in lakes and tap water that they will not drink. Travel advisors tell tourists to bring their own small filtering system with them to Florida, such as a small filter that fits onto a commercial water bottle itself, or to pack their own drinking water. Tap water might not be the only water tasting and smelling strange in Orlando, though.
The Coke will taste different. The coffee and tea might taste different as well - even soups made with local water. It is a far-reaching situation. If you are planning to visit or relocate to Orlando, call your hotel ahead of time and ask about the water quality, smells and tastes, and ask for suggestions.
You might consider taking bottled water with you for your stay. Happy journey! Jay - That is interesting and rather disturbing information. If soft drinks are bottled there, then the water is probably in them, too. Visitors must be well prepared water-0wsie for their visits to Florida! I visit Florida 1 time a year I get sick all the time from my stomach , keep in mind everyone even though you purchase bottle water , the restaurants you visit also use the water to cook with.
I am sorry that you had to drink something that tasted like burnt charcoal! I suppose soft drinks bottled in the area taste the same way - Charcoal Pepsi!
Just got home from Disney World Orlando , and the water tasted like burnt charcoal! My cousin stated it smelled as if it came from the bottom of a lake Unsanitized in that regard , but I swear up and down burnt charcoal. I'm from West Virginia a fairly polluted area actually , and the water here tastes funny, but it's more of a chemical taste then what was in Disney World. I grew up in Miami, drinking tap water, where we get our water from lake okeechobee or so we're told.
Moving to Orlando was the worst! The water tastes and smells like sulfur. I've been living here for close to 3 years now and I'm still not used to it. Don't believe life long Florida residents that say the water tastes fine. A water softener uses ion exchange technology to grab onto the mineral ions and remove them from the water to turn hard water into soft water. Learn More about Water Softeners.
There are also reverse osmosis and whole-house water filtration systems, among others, that can help treat bad smells in water and keep your water clean.

This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I truly enjoy reading your blog posts.
Thank you so much! After rain soaks into the aquifer, the organic compounds converts to sulfur. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. How Safe is Orlando Water? Home How Safe is Orlando Water?
