several ?'s about cypress pointe

[gilby]

We are about 30 days from enjoying a trip to Disney World. We have never stayed at Cypress pointe. We apted not to have maid service and would like to know if we need to go down to the lobby every day to get towels and if they still supply the paper products(kleenex and TP).
Are the kitchenettes supplied with all the pots and pans, silverware that we would need. How about dish towels, dish soap, bars of soap for showers?
Can you think of anything else I would need to pick up at walmart after we get there.
I would also like to know if you request a bldg. before you get there or after. I see people have asked which bldgs, they should stay in and was wondering why.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions are very much appreciated.

Hi--

You will love Cypress Pointe. You will be provided a roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one tissue box per bath. one-use laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent, a few trash bags, starter coffee, and a few toiletry items. You are provided towels and you wash them during the week. We took our own coffee stuff--don't forget the filters. We also took some extra toilet paper, soap, and laundry detergent. The kitchen is fully furnished with pots, pans, etc. There is a dish towel provided for the kitchen. Don't stress about what you take. There is a Winn-Dixie grocery store very close and getting supplies is not a problem. I called the resort with a request about 2 weeks prior to our trip and the request was met. I did not ask for a particular building, only to be on first floor. Do a search for Cypress Pointe on this board and you will find tons of info. Have a great trip!

Thank you, dawsgirl.
This helps me out. I have been busy making a list of what food items I can pack for the plane ride and also what food items I will be buying. We are hoping to do most of our cooking at the motel, since the parks close around 6 pm. That give us plenty of time when we get back to our room. Do you know if they have a sams club close by. I know there is a walmart and we will be stopping there on our way to the motel to get most of our groceries.
We are so looking forward to our vacation. It is one of our last family vacations, before my 2 oldest children graduate. I will have back to back graduations.
Thanks, again.

gilby--

Don't know about a Sam's Club. I went to Wal-Mart once and it was SO crowded. The Winn-Dixie is within spitting distance of Cypress Pointe and the convience is wonderful. We tried to not buy too much at once and just made several trips to the store. Enjoy your trip!!
