Last week quite a lot of drinking fountains weren't working. The one near Plaza Gardens and the one near the Ratatuille toilet were working for sure. We used some others but I can't remember which ones were working and which ones weren't.

January 2003: Disneyland Hotel
May 2012: Santa Fe
September 2013: Cheyenne

both visits (Dec 2012 and Feb 2014) they werent working, but the water from the train station loads cheaper than in the park
First visit to DLP but stayed in Paris in 1993 just after DLP opened - aged 10!!

Cheyenne 13-17 Dec 2012 - amazing time for my sons 3rd birthday

Santa Fe 12-16 Feb 2014 - truly magical, Valentines meal overlooking the fireworks at the DLP hotel ... PERFECT!

Newport Bay 23-27 Dec 2015 - I only went and got engaged ON CHRISTMAS DAY IN DISNEYLAND ❤❤❤ 1st in the park on Boxing Day too ... amazeballs

They looked minging last week you couldn't have paid me to drink from them.

We were there on the 6-8th of December and found all of the water fountains throughout the site to be turned off. There was no explanation given. We were a bit put out by it, having assumed they'd all be on as in the Summer, we brought water bottles to fill, so ended up spending a fortune on drinks during our first day.

It's quite logical that they're not working now.
It freezes all the time, it's almost officially Winter.

Exactly. They'd have to have someone standing by at all time to thaw the fountains ;) Don't really think they needed to give an explanation for that...

Or, you know, a sign?

Even the few indoor ones were turned off. It's pretty self explanatory once you get there, but when you're planning a trip in advance you assume "It's Disneyland - they'll have a solution to that problem". Plus, it wasn't anywhere close to freezing temperature last week - nor had it gotten close up to that point.

It's just a precaution. Imagine if those pipes were to burst. What a mess it would make. You can still fill them inside of the toilers, where you wash your hands? Or do they not provide drinking water?

They were not working when I went in April nor last week.  Not sure if water in the tolietsnis drinking water I wouldn't drink from them.  But In saying that I don't remember seeing anything that says not drinking water.
