Wow....Living in the PNW, I just never even thought that finding a good cup of coffee might be difficult at WDW.

And here I had been planning to buy one of those refillable mugs at my resort to fill up every morning, but it sounds like I would just get the coffee syrup there.
I guess that I'll have to take the advice to bring my own coffee and filters and make sure that my room has a fridge for the half & half. I've planned an afternoon rest at the hotel on every day of the trip, so I should be able to make do with two pots a day (morning and afternoon). I assume that the AKL has room pots that use a standard 4-cup sized filter (Mr. Coffee Jr. style)? Would I have any problems with a pound of coffee in checked luggage?
