POFQ.. Soda

[GalDisney]

I know alot of people wonder if Coke Zero is available at the various resorts. I visited POFQ today and observed that they have available out of the self serve "fountain" Coke Zero, along with Sprite Zero,Sprite , Light Lemonaid, regular Coke, Diet Coke, Apple juice, and Barques Root Beer. JUst an FYI in case anyone was wondering about the soda offerings The Polynesian also has the above offering, except i did not notice Sprite Zero offered there.

No decaffeinated Coke products? They've had decaf diet coke at POFQ since at least 2005. I hope this hasn't been discontinued since it will leave me with very few options for things I can drink.

Opps, sorry, yes, they do have decaf coke.

Whew! Thanks!

We are just back and checked out a lot of food courts. We stayed at POR which used to always have Caffeine free Diet Coke. There was none during our stay. POFQ did not have it either. I had Diet lemonade in the evenings instead. Contemporary and Polynesian did not have CF Diet either.

I did notice empty dispensers with no product labels at POR. Perhaps they were just out of the CF DC during our visit and it will come back. I tried asking about it, and all the CM's were rather clueless or had no clue what I was talking about! We have stayed there many times, so I really do know they used to have it. They did have Coke Zero though.

Oh, no - this is not what I wanted to hear.

We don't travel until Sept., so there is time to figure this out. But diet really doesn't make much difference to me. I must avoid caffeine and although there are usually a couple of choices there that do not have caffeine (including water), I actually like the caffeine free diet Coke. Maybe I'll give POFQ a call and find out what's going on.

No CF free Coke either.

I was disappointed about the lack of CF DC at first, but in the end was thankful as I LOVE that minute maid diet lemonade. I would drink regular Diet Coke until about 4, then make the switch. Had a 12 pack of CFDC in the fridge too.

I hope you get a CM that can answer the question. I asked two CM's at POR in the food court, and they both looked at me like I had 2 heads! Even AKL used to have it, so I don't know if this is resort wide, just a few resorts, or perhaps just temporary. Maybe if enough complain, it will return.

I can't have lemonade, either. I have a serious digestive system condition. Any food or drink with caffeine or that is highly acidic (orange juice and lemonade, for example) have to be avoided.

I spoke with someone at the POR food court and she said that the caffeine-free products have been permanently removed from the beverage islands at the food courts. When I explained my dilemma (without going into gory detail about my medical condition) she started rattling off things like milk, juices, etc., but of course those are not available options for the refillable mugs, which we get every year and saves us a lot of $ on drinks. She said perhaps I should re-think my options (what options?) or bring my drinks from home (we're flying, not very practical).

Being 4 hours away, we drive down. When I found out there was no CF Diet for the mugs, we picked up a 12 pack (actually 2 for $5, pretty cheap!) at the Hess station on property.

I think it is a shame they removed them. CSR never had the CF Diet, which was a negative in my opinion.

Sounds like they have removed that sickly Fruit Punch (which always tasted more of cherries than anything else to me, but as I don't drink carbonated drinks it was about my only choice). I rather like apple juice, so that sounds fabulous to me - and caffine-free for the other posters in this thread. Do you know if these new choices are the same at POR now by the way, which is where we normally stay.

We're flying, and using DME. Stopping on the way to POFQ to pick up 10 days worth of CF Diet Coke is not an option. Oh, well.

The CM I spoke with worked at POR, so yes, the changes are at both POR and POFQ.
