Basic necessities should be always free. Think there was a case of elderly woman collapsing at Disneyland because they confiscated water at the entrance so she just drank the cheapest drinks which were energy drinks.

Source? You owe me 20min reading about cartoon mice btw :p hehe Disney is a big rabbit hole

In Paris, it’s not unusual to see visitors strolling through Disneyland Paris with McDonald’s bags in hand. In California and Florida, Disney parks explicitly allow guests to bring in outside food and nonalcoholic drinks, as long as certain guidelines are followed.

They allowed outside food/water 10+ years ago. They also have free water that you have to ask for and drinking fountains. Protip: bring a camelback.

Now I used to live near Disney world and went pretty much every week using a season pass for a year. I also rotated through a bunch of competitor park doing the same frequency.

People get heat exhausted and pass out constantly. They aren’t used to the heat or direct sunlight, humidity, or the length of queues. Florida summers on asphalt is not a joke.

I would usually see 1-2 groups dealing with heat related injuries most times I went to any theme park.

How were the energy drinks the cheapest? When it comes to non-alcoholic drinks aren't they usually among the most expensive?

At Disneyland out of all places? How can someone afford to go to Disneyland but not to buy water there?

Edit: I guess maybe she didn't carry any money or cards with her

It could be affording the ticket was the extent of her budget due to the price.

Confiscating water? Jesus fucking christ.
