I bought a one cup coffee maker from Walmart for $9.99 - will bring my own coffee from home.
The other alternative for those that don't want to use the coffee maker is to purchase the refillable mug, just a short walk in the morning to fill your mug and then you can grab another one on the way to the bus. (that is what DH and I do, and yet we usually have a room that has a coffee maker in it).
I just put a plastic bag in our backpack for our used mugs, they aren't heavy in the pack so it is easily done.
But you are not drinking coffee but rather some type of swill WDW serves.
We picked up a coffee maker that made 1 or 2 cups right in the travel mugs for our last stay at Pop.
Also, be warned that most of the beverage bars at the resorts have a dispenser labelled "creamer" but it actually contains the coffeemate creamer-like substance, not actual cream. No cows were anywhere near the creation of this substance.
If you're at all picky about your coffee, take your own.
Don't they use something called half and half?
Sometimes, but not in the dispensers at the value resorts at least. Where I noticed that they had it, it was actually labelled "half and half" or was in those little creamer containers.
The large dispensers at the All Stars definitely contain the coffeemate stuff. I found that fact out the hard way, as I have a bad physical "reaction" to something in the non-dairy creamers...and trust me, you don't want any more details than that.![]()
