What do you coffee drinkers do for your morning cup of joe?

[hurleee]

Hi,
I have to have coffee to function. I read somewhere that All star movies has no coffee pot in room?? I don't know if I want to go to the cafeteria every morning. I guess I could take one in my carry on?

How much is coffee at the parks. Can that count as a snack credit??

Thanks for any ideas... :)) jody

WDW food courts have Nescafe, which I hear from coffee drinkers is terrible. You might want to check out the budget board and see if there's a coffee maker swap going on when you're there.

[hddanis]

You could always ship one down to yourself at the resort ahead of time...

Growing up, my mom ALWAYS took a coffee maker with her on vacation.

[loopner67]

We buy the resort mugs when we get there and then fill them up whenever we want during our trip. My Dh would take the first shower in the morning and then go to the food court to get our coffee & our boys morning drinks. :coffee:

We always bring coffee with us. It makes a HUGE difference in how the day
starts! We stay at DVC resorts, so there is always a coffee maker already
there. Enjoy! :goodvibes :surfweb:

All WDW coffee is Nescafe, with the exception of a few places that brew their own coffee. It is disgusting. But that is the price you pay for having Nescafe sponsor The Land in Epcot.

I don't drink it, it sucks.

[Elmo888]

You could pack a 4 cup coffee maker. They are inexpensive and small (just buy one and leave it in the box). And bring your own coffee and filters.

And I think that coffee would count as a snack credit.

Have a great trip!

When is Disney going to get with the times and get Starbucks as a sponsor like everyone else?

[rosiep]

I always buy a cup of mocha cappuccino the night before , then reheat it in the morning...If I have no microwave...I'll drink it cold. I hate coffee made in mr coffee type machines...it's basically colored water as far as I'm concerned.:laughing: :laughing:

We were at AllStar Mov in June and bought the refillable mugs. We would throw clothes on, go get our coffee, then head back to the room to clean up and get ready for the day. We would usually pack one of the mugs in our backpack and when we returned from a park, we would fill with beverage of choice before heading back to room.

[Chrisypoo]

If you like true coffee...a little sugar, a little creamer...the coffee at WDW is awful. However, when we stayed at ASMo, I got the refillable mug and mixed the coffee, liquid creamer and hot chocolate together. It wasn't the best thing I've ever had, but it was pretty decent.

But I agree with the others who suggested bringing a 4 cup pot with you. I think Walgreen's has them for around $10, probably Walmart as well. And the normal filters will work, you just have to scrunch them down a little.

We get starbucks every morning when we stay Shades of Green.

I've stayed one night onsite. The coffee was terrible.

Offsite, we always go through Dunkin' Donuts :-)

[RllngRckBrw]

We get the refilable mugs and I run down and get breakfast and drinks from the food court in the morning while my wife gets ready. It is not the most enjoyable part of our trip for me, but it alows us to sleep just a bit longer by eating as we get ready in the room.

P.S. Yes the coffee is terrible, but if you are a dedicated enough drinker as the two of us are, you deal with it.

[Jack-Jack]

We drank the skank in the refillable mugs from The Mara at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Not good. I'm bringing a maker on my next trip. It's a grind and brew. My neighbors will LOVE me.

[Slapster]

The best coffee we had during out stay was breakfast at Fresh in the Dolphin. It's Starbucks coffee and it was very good. The rest of the coffee is almost unbearable. Even the coffee from the coffee stands that appear to be "gourmet" is barely drinkable.

I've heard that the coffee from Kona in the Poly is excellent. For our next trip I'm going to bring some bold Italian roast to brew in room. Once you get used to good, strong coffee it's really a letdown to start your day with anything else.

:thumbsup2

[tl_swift]

:eek: No Coffee!!!! :scared1: Not only would I not be fun to be around the headaches would be unbearable.:headache: Real coffee addict here.:rolleyes1 I have broken down and used those coffee bags that look like tea bags when I have been in desperate situations. It is better than the with draw headaches.:sad2:

[bangzoom6877]

Are there coffee makers in the rooms at Pop Century? I would have no problem bringing some of my own Dunkin Donuts coffee and brew it daily. We plan to eat breakfast in the room most mornings (bringing cereal and milk and requesting a fridge for our room, paying the small $10 a night charge for it). Just quicker getting out of the room and to the parks for extra magic hours with a 1 year old and a 3 year old!

[pfalcioni]

No coffee maker in the room, and they don't have one to rent (like the fridge).

You can bring one with, or just deal with the fake coffee. With some 'ammendments' it's really not bad.

Really, I love a good cup of coffee, but when we're on vacation, I'm willing to put up with 'differences' that really don't mean that much in the great scheme of things.

To us, coffee isn't 'part the magic' at Disney for us :) Just give me a shot 'o caffiene to get me started before we head off to the magic!

[ChillyWilleys]

I bring a box of the Folgers coffee bags. They're like tea bags but with coffee. The cup is brewed in a minute and a half, it tastes good (much better than Disney's) and your whole room doesn't end up smelling like coffee.:thumbsup2

[earthfaries]

I have to have my good coffee ~ organic swiss water processed decaf :thumbsup2 every morning.
At home I use a french press , although I just had to purchase another one because on a little weekend trip I took mine and it cracked~those things are fragile!
They sell stainless steel french presses for about $60.00 - twice the cost of the glass, but worth it if you love good coffee!!!
I haven't gotten the SS press yet, I guess I will just bring my coffee and put it in the coffee maker in our townhouse in a couple of weeks:confused3 Hopefully it will be good. I haven't used an electric coffee maker for so long!

BUY the stainless french press, you will be so happy!!! I had also cracked my glass one and bought the stanless one and love it. The coffee stays hot so much longer and it actually seems a little bigger. I take mine to WDW with me along with some coffee that I grind right before I go, or if we are staying for a while, I take our little grinder. It is worth it to me to have a good cup of coffee.:)

Going at the end of April and staying at the Wilderness Lodge??? I'll be your neighbor....and your best friend. LOL!!

I've heard a lot of people complain of the coffee; I might have to bring my own as well.....

[going2disney]

Can't stand the Nescafe also! I pack some Dunkin Donuts coffee, filters and disposable cups/ lids, I'll have a cup in the room and then take a cup along on the bus to the parks. We've always had a pot in the room, if you won't I'd recommend bringing your own or doing a swap.

[DARuss]

DW & myself bring a coffee pot every vacation. We have a $10.00, 10 cup pot bought at walmart. The 4 cup pots are not enough to keep up with 2 coffee drinkers.:rotfl2: We leave the maker in the box & put all the filters in the maker and ziplock full of coffee in the pot. We stayed @ ASMo last jan and no coffee pot in the room. We bought a coleman fridge, also at walmart, for about $80.00. It has a 12volt plug for the car and an adapter for 110 volt at the hotel. It is a little smaller that the one that you rent at the hotel but it is very light and easy to use.

Sorry, I'll be there in June at the Contemporary and the BCV. Hope you find a coffee-mate :goodvibes

[kimis]

We always have our morning coffee in our room. My dh will go and get it while I am getting ready. Than we get more coffee in the parks. I have to have my coffee. LOL

[Guzzi]

:surfweb: We stayed at CSR in 06, and are planning to stay there again in 08, the pepper market has a great walk up window next to the entrance to the Maya Grill where you can get coffee and muffins. I got my wife a decaf and myself a cappucino each morning.

[3261klow]

We are going to Shades of Green in a few weeks. So glad to hear about Starbucks coffee!! Did you enjoy your stay at Shades of Green? Any tips or suggestions you would like to share? Email me at klowdermilk@charter.net
thanks Karen

[pooksma]

Like many others have said- brought my own. Now have to add that the Kona pressed pot coffee was pretty great.

[BetsyinFL]

The pressed pot at the Kona is worth the $7. Hands down - the best coffee on the property!

[noahdove]

How does the coffee pot switch work? The coffee isn't the greatest, but if I get really desperate I head for McDonald's at DMP:) I drink decaf...but..I still need my coffee in the morning...If I have to drink the coffee there it makes getting a good one at McDonald's even better:) I would be willing to do a switch/swap for the coffee pot tho.

[dlstc]

If you go to ebay and search for "travel french press" you can find travel mugs that are french presses from $15-$30 (more if you want a really fancy one). You put in some roughly (not finely) ground coffee, add hot water (like from the hot water dispensers at drink stations), put on the lid, press the plunger, and you have great coffee.

Just another option.

No Doze. I'd much rather get my fix from a pill then from crappy coffee. And for such a drinker I am beyond uncapable of brewing a half decent pot of my own. Though from now on there will be at least one breakfast at Kona a trip. It is beyond worth it.
