CS Pepper Market

[Mich Mouse]

Wondering if I can purchase two mugs for 3 people and use those at the Pepper Market. I have acquired 14 mugs over the last few years and since DH does not drink anything non-organic, it seems wasteful to purchase one for his water. Do they have bottled water at the Pepper Market? Can he bring his own? Also, is there a self serve drink station at the pool area or do they fill them like at some other resorts?
I have been comparing the food court menus on a menu website and it looks as if CS has a larger variety of items..at inflated prices. Is it really that much better than CBR or POR food courts?
Also, I'd love to hear any CSR comments.
Thank You in Advance!!!

We like the PM much better than the food court at ASMo or POR. But with everyone you hear that does, just as many seem not to. Just a matter of taste. But we liked PM real well.
The PM food is very fresh and made right there while you wait.
The only downside DH saw was the baked goods would be pretty picked over in the evening. (Just the opposite at POR bakery.)
They sell bottled water everywhere. (At $2.50 a bottle, it should be areal money maker for them, so no surprise they sell it everyhere.)
There is a LITTLE convenience type store just outside the PM that's sells a variety, for as small of an area that it is.
I would just buy the two mugs, if it were me. Doesn't sound though that he may even use it if you bought one for him alone.
We enjoyed CSR and would stay there again.
DH liked CSR better than ASMo. I didn't. But again, just personal taste.
Can't say I would spring the extra $10 a night again for a waterview.

I only purchase 3 mugs for 4 people and then we bring our own water Zephyrllis(sp) for me to the parks and the food courts. I get the 12 pack before we checkin. No one has ever questioned us. DH get a beer at dinner usually. The kids just use the mugs at the food court or the fast food places that accept them. We aren't stealing any addtional drinks so I can't see it as a problem. I just won't pay $2.50 for a bottle of water. I even bring the Brita bottle around with me to lots of place and get them to fill it with ice and water for free I get at the fountain and they haven't said a word about that either. I spend alot for food when we are there so I really don't feel bad about it.

We usually use 2-3 cups for the 4 of us. Can't answer your water question and don't remember about the pool.

But I can say that we love the pepper market and feel it is much better than the food court at CBR or Port Orleans FQ. It is much fresher, better variety, and feels less like fast food. When we stayed at CSR we actually planned park times around eating either lunch or dinner at the pepper market.

I haven't been to the Pepper Market, but I think I'll take your recommendation, wld, and go. Thank you

Here I go again --- I posted an answer yesterday and it counted the replies like my response showed, but it never did.
Any who, there were four of us adults in our party and we all enjoyed the PM. I know some don't, but we all did. And one of us in the group is picky and he liked it best.
There was a wide variety, it's all cooked as you stand there. So it's hot and *fresh*.
The portions are genreous, esp the nachos!
The only food downside was the bakery gets pretty picked over by evening and they didn't restock. But we were there in January, slow season, so that may have been why.
The cashiers were slow and more busy chatting back and forth than concerned about ringing up guests. So check out was slow, unless a manager was at a register (which was often). But it wasn't a major inconvenience.
There is a small, but decent convenience type store right outside the PM. (Besides the gift shop down the hall.)
For no more than DH would use the mug, I wouldn't bother buying him one. Keep in mind that bottled water is $2.50 each. One trip I had DH pack our own!
