just back from POR - fridges and new beds

[jenjen212]

YES!!

There are coffee makers in each room, with 2 packets of regular coffee, and 1 packet of decaf. Inside each packet contains: coffee grounds inside of a filtered package (so no worrying about spilling the grounds), packets of sugar, sweet-n-low, and non-dairy powdered cream and stirs.

We used the coffee in the mornings and each afternoon when we came back it was replenished. The coffee pot holds about 4 cups of water. So if you wanted to bring your own coffee, I would bring the small filters. since the coffee comes inside of a filter, you wouldn't be able to use their filter.

I go to POR a lot, and I have never been there with out a coffee maker in the room. Actually, I have never been to a disney resort where I did not see them in the room.

good luck & have fun!!! wish I was going back too!!

Jen,
Thanks for the feedback on the coffeemakers!
My husband is really picky about his coffee, so I think we'll just bring our own.
It's great to know there is a coffeemaker to make it with!

Do you know if Bob "The Piano Man" Jackson is still playing in the lounge. We heard he is there Wednesday through Sunday evenings but I would like to verify. Did you see his act?
Also, can you tell me how much the carriage rides are?
We hope to stay in Magnolia Terrace this time; we are in the Bayou in '99. My DW has reserved a room with a King bed and put in a request for MT but I guess there is no guarantee.
Thanks for the update, Jen!

the piano player was there. as a matter of fact we saw him on a wednesday when we were there. he does such a good show. it was a relative's birthday and he did this whole thing where he made her come up on stage and sang to her. it was funny. he made the kids stand up and do the whole "i'm a little tea pot dance". we had a good time.

i have never done the carriage ride there before but, i think i remember that they were like $30 per half hour, or something like that.

good luck and have fun!!
