Thanks Denise. I can't wait to read about what you found out regarding the mug situation with the Tempo Grab & Go.

For those of you who have stayed in a Tower MK view during that time, is there a special fireworks show instead of Wishes?

TIA!

Woohoo! I'm so glad to eat some crow and say there are mugs and that.joenan88 was right!!! Thanks for all the pictures, Denise. ETA did you see what kind of drinks were available in the refill station? Soda, coffee, hot chocolate, juice?.

 

[joenan88]

Hey Denise..but was she able to confirm the refillable soda fountains?? She didn't post a picture of the fountain so I was wondering if that part of my information was correct... ...Nancy

 

[nbodyhome]

You are welcome! They are actually not very noticeable, I had to ask (even though they were sitting right there, they just weren't advertised).

I still will eventually get more pool/spa, I just haven't gotten there early enough yet to take them without people around.

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

Thanks for the pics!
Has anyone ever done a massage there at the contemp? Is it worth the cost?

Also- My BIL who is a fire fighter, is DREADING staying on the 11th floor (that I requested)...he is weird about being up high incase of a fire-- any suggestions on how to convince him that it will be just fine? LOL
TIA

Hi! Although I have stayed at the Contemporary several times, I don't know the answers to the following questions:

1) Will the front desk allow us to print Southwest boarding passes?

2) Does the Tempo Grab and Go have anything hot for breakfast?

3) Does the Contemporary/WDW have Dr. Pepper?

Thank you!

My but aren't we a paranoid group??? I was wondering the same thing Paranoia running rampant

Denise thanks for taking the time to visit the Contemporary so you can get the pictures and for posting them on here.

sstucush,
You can go to the business center in the convention center and print out your boarding passes, however I am not sure if the front desk can do that for you. I can't answer your 2nd question and as for your last one, when the Food & Fun Center was open they had Pibb Xtra which tastes just like Dr. Pepper. I am not sure if they are using the same soda machine from the Food & Fun Center at the Tempo Grab & Go, but if they are I am sure Pibb Xtra would be on there.

Considering that she posted a picture of the YOAMD mugs being sold at the Tempo Grab & Go and you can tell they are being sold since they have that yellow thing the Cast Members take off when you purchase a mug, I am sure that's a clear sign they have the soda machine there. I mean why would they be selling the mugs if there was no machine?

If you are looking at the mugs (like I did, taking the photos), the fountain is behind you. Not a huge fountain, and nothing saying there were refillable mugs there.

You are welcome for the pics, I took some for my site as well (CR contruction). Still amazing how quickly it's going up.
