I understand that Pepper Market works different than the other food courts. In the AM, my DS and I usually get up before everyone else and get coffee and soda with our refillable mugs. One post said there is no self-serve for drinks. What do I do if I want coffee and soda only? At POP, we were able to use the toaster for bagels in the AM. Is this available at PM? Do they have a microwave to use at the food court? Thanks

You can get that stuff at the Cafe Rix. You don't have to go into the Pepper Market.

We will be checking in 9/13 with dd 16, dd2,ds2 and we are not sure what building we should request? We want to be close to the main building for food , close to a bus stop and close to the play ground, and the main pool. We are in a double queen room.
Can anyone help me please. This is our first time at this resort.
Thanks

We were placed in 8A in March and it's the building right beside 7b. We were close to parking, bus stop and the theme pool. It was about a 10 minute leisurely walk to the food court.

Awesome! You have a quiet pool and the theme pool right by you! Enjoy!

Cafe Rix has self-serve, go there for coffe and soda refills. That is the only self-serve drink area at CSR. At the dig site, a cm will get your refill. At the Pepper Market, a cm will get your refill.

There are coffee pots in the rooms. I can't remember about the microwave in the food court or at Cafe Rix. I think I saw one at both.

In addition to Cafe Rix, there is a coffee bar at the Pepper Market, immediately to the right of the entrance cash registers. You can get your refills there simply by handing the mugs to the CMs there and telling them what you want.

Just changed some of my ADR's and we now have a breakfast at Ohanas at 8:25 am. I presume I would just take the bus to MK and then monorail or boat over to Poly. Does that work? What time would I need to leave the resort to get there on time.

I was bored the other night and looked up reviews on tripadvisor or something, its amazing to me how ignorant people can be, very hard to please, wow.

Thanks for the responses! A coffee bar makes me think of latte, cappuccino and flavored coffee. Can you get that with the refillable mug, or is it just basic coffee allowed? I might have to splurge a few mornings!

No, lattes and cappucinos are not including in the refillable mug plan. However, I can vouch that the cappucinos are not bad at all (they are my Starbucks fix until we go off-site).

So last year we stayed in Casitas 4 -- loved being so close to the bus stop and quite pool.

This year... should we request the same? Should we try Cabanas? Will we miss Bus Stop #2? We're taking engagement pictures at CSR on this trip and want to be in a good location if we want to go back and change our outfits.

What do you think??

I had to look once you looked at this and you weren't kidding. I get it we are a little biased but REALLY people?? Everyone is different that's for sure.

That's a tough one. We really liked Cabanas 8A and it was close to the bus stop; but we drive our car everywhere.

I think if you are taking engagement pictures, I would want to be in the Casitas because I think the courtyards are beautiful.

Yeah, there are alot of people out there with very unrealistic expectations.

I agree with KatMark. The Casitas are much more picturesque with the fountains and courtyards. The lighting is particularly beautiful at night too.

I got Mickey Mail today! 34 days and counting! Getting those ME tags made everything seem so much more real!

My DH and I will be going on a trip with my best friend and her boyfriend. We decided on CSR tonight. DH and I stayed there for our couples trip in February and we really enjoyed it. We had a room in Cabanas 9B. I had actually requested Casitas or Ranchos. I didn't want Cabanas. 9B was great though. It was a deluxe room with crown molding and a DVD player. A nice view from our room of a pond looking towards the entrance. We drove most of the time, but the buses were timely when we took them. We have a long wait for this trip, but I am going to surprise our kids with a trip the week before Christmas. My son likes POR so we will probably stay there for that trip. Two trips planned

Cabanas are by far my favorite section, but if you're taking engagement pictures I'd choose the Casitas. That section is so pretty at night with the lovely fountains. It is just a more formal type setting than what the other two sections would be.
