Great start Scott! I love the iPhone pics. The airport tree looks so pretty! I was going to say that I hope Biff felt better soon, but we already got the foreshadowing. I hope he didn't feel too bad the entire trip. Looking forward to more!

I forgot about the other camera and I started using that on the bus.

Bad pics of the sign

Arriving at POP

It was a little busy outside of POP

Biff said he never wants to stay at POP. I figured that.

Up next we really arrive at Coronado Springs

He wasn't going to do it here. I kne win the end he would not even though I have a witness to say he did say he would.

So we left off we were heading to CSR.

Pulling up to the front entrance

Quickly we were there. The outside entrance is pretty.

A little help along the way.

So we move inside and registration is empty.

I asked for a refurbished room when I made the reservation. The CM shows me the map and had put us in the Ranchos section, I asked if it was refurbished and was told no and then they see my request. I am then told we will be in Casitas 3 but the room is not ready. We will be on the 4th floor with a view of the lake. Told to call later.

We go outside and Biff checks his bag, jacket and my jacket. We then head over to bus stop 1 and were thinking of going to a park. Biff is not feeling good with his nose draining so I ask if he wants to go to Downtown Disney and look around and then head back to the room when it is ready to relax. He loves the idea. This changes within a minute and we decide to hang out at the resort and then go to DTD.

We are hungry so we decide to go inside and eat at Pepper Market.

It was easy enough to understand how it works.

**Review**
I had the bourbon chicken with rice and chocolate cake for dessert. It was all very good. :mickey b::mickey b::mickey b:
Biff had the sampler platter with spicy and bourbon chicken. The spicy chicken was really spicy and good. :mickey b::mickey b::mickey b::mickey b:
he said it was excellent.

**I inquired about the tipping**
I talked to 2 cm's and 1 manager about what I heard on the DIS about the tip being included in the dining plan. This is false information I was told. The tip is NOT included in the plan. We tipped.

Next we went to the Rix Cafe to get our souvenir mugs. These are different than the other resorts, they say Coronado Springs.

I liked them a lot better than the Year of Dreams mugs.

So we filled up with root beer and decided to walk around the resort and check it out.

I will stop here....

Up next...the tour.

You will love your mugs for years to come! I am enjoying coffee in mine right now. They are definitely bigger and more sturdy than the others.

Love the CSR pics. Way to go with getting a refurbed room , looking forward to pics of it. I wonder why the tip is not included with DDP at PM?? We ate there in October and the server told us the 10% gratituty is included and also confirmed this when we paid at the cashier . That stinks if it's not included anymore, but it's a great counter service .

We loved everything we tried at Pepper Market in April -- I think it is the best resort food court in the entire place.

thanks. I made sure to put it on the reservation. I was told some of the CM's were confused and it actually was never included in the plan. So you got some cm's who were not sure I guess. This is why I questioned a few people. We only left $2.00, I mean really all they do is put down your silverware and get you a drink.

Ooh, tell Biff that but we will come back to this topic on the last day. I enjoyed the food but I prefer Riverside Mill.
