Buzz- are the Pepper Market and/or the pool bar places that participate in the Disney Dining Experience program? The only reason we've never bought a DDE card is because we eat about 1/3 of WDW meals at those two spots--and they haven't been part of the program. Any chance that has changed? Love your sight--keep up the great work!!

No, they are not. Only the Maya Grill participates in DDE. All the food locations at CSR participate in the DDP though.

Quick question about refillable mugs (I know they have been rehashed to death), but what are the choices to refill with . I see that there are quite a few spots to refill, just to make sure, is one of them close to the pool???

These are more general questions, I guess but I just love this thread and am as excited about our upcoming trip!

1. Can you charge tickets on your room key? (We may be meeting up with some family during our stay, offered to pay for tickets and are wondering if we will need to take cash/credit card to the park with us the day we're meeting.)
2. What is the charge to your room limit at a moderate? I was thinking it was $1000 but wasn't sure.

Never mind! I just found my answer a little further into the thread.

1. Yes. You can.

2. 1000$. If you hit it.. the front desk will call you and you can either pay it down with CC or cash/travellers check etc.

Answer is seven posts above.

Yes, at Siestas, you can refill at the bar or at the snack bar, two options. You can also refill at Francisco's, the bar in the main building. Lots of choices.

You can fill your mugs at the PM and fill them yourself or use the window outside the PM and you won't even have to go in to the PM. It is to the right of the main entrance.

You can fill them up poolside too. At Siestas, you can refill at the bar or at the snack bar, two options. You can also refill at Francisco's, the bar in the main building. Lots of choices.

Thanks for all the great information. We just got back from a week's stay at CS and had a wonderful time. We were able to stay in Cabana 9B which was a perfect location for us.

Buzz,

If you refill your mug outside the PM, do you get to do it yourself or does a CM fill it for you?

The CM fills it for you. The only place to refill yourself is inside the PM. And you don't have to wait in the line (if there is one) to go in and get a refill.

Hi I know this topic is prolly covered in here, but I heard a rumor that the cafe here isn't a disney run cafe and it uses outside catering. Is that true? What is the reason?

Correct, the Pepper Market food court is not run by Disney, it is run by and outside vendor. Probably because its cheaper for Disney.

Yet they do participate in the Disney Dining Plan, correct?

Yes, all CSR restaurants participate including Siestas by the pool.

 

[CanadianGuy]

Hey buzz.. May end up in Cabanas 8A ... I know that's by the pool and a bit of a walk to the main stuff.. but also near the bus etc..

Ever stayed up that way?

Getting back is a bit harder depending on whether the parks are still open or closed. It MK is still open, you can take the boat or bus back to MK or bus to any park that is still open and then transfer to a CSR bus. If the parks are closed, You will have to go to DtD which can take awhile or take a cab.

The show is at 5:00, so we're planning to head over to MK after it ends (around 7:00). Thanks again!!!

Buzz -- I asked about this during my trip, and the CMs working that evening told me that I had to go inside Pepper Market to refill my mug regardless of whether it was pop or coffee. Perhaps I got someone on a bad day?
