Day 48: Is the water sanitary?

November 17, 2022

Dear Disney,

Picture this. The sun is out and reflecting off of the cement of the Disney Parks. The temperature is hot, ridiculously hot, and it is magnified by the 100’s of people around you, pressing in on you. All you want, all you need, is something to quench your thirst. In front of you is one of the many, and free, drinking fountains found throughout the parks. It’s delicious. Nothing has tasted better. Water. Fresh, clean, free drinking water. Today, Jim and I are thankful for clean drinking water.

In the United States, where Jim and I live, fresh, clean, clear, and relatively free drinking water is something that many take for granted. Jim and I take it for granted until it is gone, either due to storms or drought or some other issue. What we are most pleased about is that it is one of the few things that the parks keep free. Yes, you can purchase bottled water and order water from the restaurants, but there is access to water everywhere. You can even bring in your own water and water bottles if you wish. Sometimes they even make the locations conveniently placed next to attractions and shows. It’s wonderful.

What is something that you are thankful for, but you take it for granted?

Sincerely,

Jim Dear and Darling
