Contrary to posts in this thread, bottled water at Disney is $3.75.... at least that's what they were charging last week.

Depends on where you buy them. But, thanks for the info. Next time I will shop around. I do not wish to spend my grandkids college fund on bottled water.

Spectrum could lose many customers permanently if they do not have ESPN in time for Monday Night Football.

A trader friend commented : "Is this a ploy by $DIS to push everyone to streaming, and then they can start increasing the rates again? just like in the beginning of cable tv to now?"

$DIS made the streaming investment, now how to get the return on investment?

So a pint of Disney water is more than a gallon of gas.
My brother in law is pumping the wrong stuff at his gas station!

Better yet! If you can fancy up the gas station and sell it with a generic, to-go cup with ice, you can get $7 a bottle. Trust me, I know. Mickey seems to think if you want ice on a scorching hot day for your sweating grand children, then double the price for you!

Though many people aren't aware of this, cups of ice water are free at most counter service restaurants in Disney.

Depends on gas prices but yes, $3.75 is more than $3.57.

(EDIT: As mentioned above and pointed out below, water is priced by the pint while gas is priced by the gallon. I sure hope gas never gets to $30/gal! At $0.18 to $0.30 per bottle in grocery stores it is still more expensive than gas even without the huge markup)

But from what I can find through DuckDuckGo, Disney water is cheaper than Universal Studios water or Dallas Cowboys water. There might be a business in buying from Disney and selling in the Universal Studios parking lot.

Or, you can buy from Sam's and carry it in with you.

Disney water is $3.75 a pint, gas by the gallon.

Disney+ has been bleeding subscribers for well over a year now...

Wife and I took our then young grandson to Magic Kingdom
Went on all the rides I never turned a hair or felt bad.
Last ride was probably the slowest gentlest ride in the place.
The bl**dy Tea Cups.
I came off white as a sheet and sick as a dog, to all and sundries great amusement!
Give me Universal any time!

I do believe they have discovered the price point that kills their business.

Hopefully Spectrum drops Disney completely. They were paying them almost 2 billion a year without advertising. As far as the loss of ABC goes, it can be picked up as a local. The old business model that Disney depended on is gone. Just ask entertainers who have had to go newer and more creative ways to generate revenue. There are the Taylor Swifts of artistic revenue and then there are the rest. Sorry Disney Disney you are in with the rest. Gone are the big story book days. Disney is stuck in CD, cassette world, while the rest watch it for free through a multitude of platforms.

Good luck but kind of doubt it.
