Working ODV drink carts we aren't allowed to give guest ice for their drinks. What's funny is on hot day's over 90, the ODV office will declare a code ( ) I forgot,and allow us to eat the ice for H20. Kinda ironic because the excuse we give to our guest is we don't want them to get sick, and it's ok for C.M's. I guess a law suit is cheaper than workman's comp.

Code-90.
There's also a Code-100, but it's much rarer.
Is it possible that ice isn't given to Guests because then too much of it would be depleted? That the sickness issue is just a convenient excuse?Kevin Yee

Snappy, the difference is that the ice for CMs on code 90 days is handed out in disposable cups, therefore it's sanitary. Those beverage pushcarts are cleaned once a month at best...far from being sanitary.
But now, cups of ice are a thing of the past. Recent changes allow Vendors to drink from a small bottle of water, regardless of the temperature.
And it's a good thing too...considering how long it's been since the ice machines were last cleaned.The views and opinions expressed on this post are mine and do not necessarily represent or reflect those of The Walt Disney Company and Affiliated Companies.

I figure that the dehydration must be the cause of why many ODV CMs can't seem to figure out how to put where they worked z-reports every night - because let me tell you, ODV is the worst about getting their closing info correct!
Hmmm let me think... Did I sell PopCorn or did I sell Churros? I know, I'll just put down Pretzles and cover all my bases~ Tasty, yet morally ambiguous! ~

you don't want to be eating that ice whether you are allowed to or not. It is gross. all of those people reaching for a drink and the germs that comes of off peoples' hands, especially foreigners? Just crazy! Also, prior to the bottles being placed into that ice, do you think they are cleaned off at all? No, they are not. Don't eat that ice. If you are that thirsty, I will buy you a drink.Cosmo Kramer: Well I can't go back to the public courses now! I can't! I WON'T!

The odv ice is rank. Their ice is bad from the machines to start...i swear the machines smell like Splash Mountain. Oh and there is no 'code 100.' It's only code 90, and then we get to augment our costumes....I finally changed my avatar...

Oh, and there IS a Code 100. Well...actually there's two Code 100s. The temp one meant that we were able to drink water onstage, and the other one is announced when an Attraction first goes online AFTER park opening.
Oh, and don't eat anything from ODV. It's worse than Inn Between food.

ODV may be many things, but there is no arguing with the SPLH of the carts. Even us buffeteria / scramble guys knew that.Kevin Yee

I definitely think it's so the ice doesn't deplete as fast at the carts. A few years ago at DCA, it reached well over 100 degrees when I was visiting. They had CMs pushing around small carts, giving away *free* bottled water to guests, practically pushing them into their hands. I was glad to Disney was concerned about guests overheating and not drinking enough water. A few lives might even have been saved by that effort on that day. One can never know what heatstroke will do to a person.
