Hi all!
DH and I had this trip at the Poly planned since we received the 40% off discount postcard Dec 07. We were all set to go until Tropical Storm Fay paid us a visit and Naples was knocked around a bit....we had a whole day without power so DH lost a lot of time for work and his building had some roof damage etc so we did not know if we could go on this little weekend adventure until yesterday morning! We did bring our laptop so he can stay up on all the emails he gets..and I get to play on the DIS during our breaks!
About 2 weeks ago I decided to drive up on Thursday and the Poly rooms were full rack rate so I booked a night at the CSR and we left alot later than I would have liked. We got onto I-4 around 10 last night and it was pouring rain until we arrived at the CSR at 11pm. It rained and the wind was really strong and I was beginning to think this would be an indoor resort vacation, which is still a nice vacation!
Sadly we really did not get to check out the CSR at all because when we woke up this morning it was pouring rain again! We were in Casitas II on the second floor in the back of the building and it was nice and clean and quiet.
We got to the Pepper Market around 8am this morning and it was very nice! We both enjoyed it alot! DH wants to stay at the CSR just for the Pepper Market! I apologize if some pictures are dark but with all the rain the skies are dark and the rooms are pretty dark too.
We were seated right next to the fruit station and if you have read any of my other reviews you know we are fruit maniacs. We shared a mixed fruit bowl of watermelon, cantelope, honeydew, pineapple and strawberries. You can get a single bowl of each type of fruit or get a combo of whatever you like. The fruit was amazing, so ripe and sweet and just darn tasty!
DH has a thing for WDW cinnamon buns so he had to get one....he said it was very good and soft and spicy.
We decided to share the biscuits and gravy, humongous biscuit that was very good, light and buttery and crispy edges just smothered in a very light and creamy sausage flavored gravy...no sausage in it tho much to my dismay.
We also shared a breakfast platter. The best scrambled eggs, I have a huge love affair with WDW scrambled eggs...they are just unlike any other! Crisp bacon that DH ate, sausage (thin) links that were not salty at all and terrible potato bits...these were just plain blech. A choice of biscuit or muffin came with the platter and DH chose a blueberry muffin that had the consistance of a sponge and the taste of LARD...double blech!
Our server brought me an ice tea and DH a hot coffee, the server said they offer caps and lattes and such but he just wanted plain stuff and he said it was ok.
After breakfast we went back to the room (still pouring rain) and he worked while I read my book and then we checked out around 12. Next post will have more pics of Pepper Market.
