The water is so bad that everything else tastes great in comparison?

Yes and no. My kids live for the ultra-chlorinated smell of Disney water. POTC their favorite way to get their water high as you queue through to go deeper and deeper into the confines of the attraction. However the loathe Coke's Dasani water and wish there were other in park options.

Fun fact, there is no chlorine in the water rides at the Disney theme parks only at the water parks and in the pools. POTC and the other water rides use Bromine, because it does not bleach clothing and is less likely to cause skin irritation. That is why the Disney water had "that smell" to it.

Speaking of that smell, as I was leaving work at the jail yesterday morning, I swear one of the rooms smelled exactly like POTC. My coworkers thought I was just having Disney hallucinations, but I think the rain had mixed with something in one of the rooms and caused the smell.

It was raining in the room?

It's an old building and leaks quite a bit.

I had a similar experience. While on a business trip to Indianapolis, I arrived at my hotel & entered the lobby. I was immediately overwhelmed with "Disney Water" smell, and stopped dead in my tracks. The lobby had a fountain, and it must have had Bromine as a disinfectant. My co-worker asked me why I stopped so quickly, and all I could say was "It smells like 'Pirates' in here!" He gave me one of those​ looks & continued to the check in desk.
