Does Disney World use chlorine?

I've been informed that both Disney's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park use bromine to clean the water. The same is true of all water-based rides in the parks, like Splash Mountain and Frozen Ever After, as well as most Disney Resort Hotel pools.

Regular pools usually disinfect the water inside of them using chlorine–but not Disney. They use bromine, which is a fancy, more expensive, and much milder smelling chemical (and is not as harsh as chlorine when it hits your skin or clothing).

They are currently using Bromine to keep the pools clean and sparkly, so you are somewhat clear on the chlorine end of things. The pool chemicals are monitored frequently, and the chemical levels are adjusted as needed to make sure the pools are safe with regard to hygiene.

The Smellitizers combine a strong-smelling substance (that smells like popcorn or something else!) with a powerful source of air. And the air has to be moving in a pressurized way like a powerful fan. This propels the scent toward guests while an exhaust sucks it back in.

Reclaimed water at Walt Disney World is tertiary treated, it actually meets State standards for drinking water. Since we have little manufacturing there are no heavy metals or other difficult compounds to remove. There are higher levels of chlorides due to the disinfection process as well as moderate phosphorus levels.

I spent time making sure to confirm this and I verified that bromine is used instead of chlorine to disinfect the water in all rides that use water such as it's a small world in Magic Kingdom Park and Frozen Ever After in EPCOT. Bromine is a good alternative for those with chlorine sensitivities.

Helpful? You most certainly can drink from the water fountains and from the tap. In fact many people bring in water bottles and keep refilling their bottles to stay hydrated. We did that and didn't get sick in fact the people who worked at Disney said it's perfectly safe to drink the water there.

Predictable Novelty. Something is always new or changing at the Disney parks. New rides, new character dining, new snacks, new resorts, new transportation options abound with every trip. Humans crave novelty, and this novelty is part of the reason why people come back for more each year (or even multiple times a year!)

All of the pools and water areas on Disney ships are chlorine (fresh water) treated, which is great because that means that the pools stay open when the ship is at a port. There are cruise lines with salt water pools which close during port stops.
