What is in the room?

[bavaria]

OK, I just have to ask. As you may know by now, I practically live in hotel rooms for most of the year. North American and European hotel rooms can vary widely. A comment on another thread had me thinking - what is in a standard DLRP hotel room??

Hairdryer - only in concierge level rooms?!! (visions of adaptors and past experiences with hair dryers bursting into flame....)

Honour bar/mini bar - yes? no?

Tea/Coffeemaker - doesn't sound like it... SIGH

Those are my three top wish list items in every hotel room - can anyone add anything and advise on those three?

Thanks as always!!!!!!

I think you can always request one of these even if it's not already in the room.

Honour bar/mini bar - yes? no?

I think only in some rooms eg: at Sequoia Lodge only in Montana rooms.

Tea/Coffeemaker - doesn't sound like it... SIGH

Again, you can always request these - you may have to pay a deposit and possibly provide your own coffee, milk etc but the machines are available.

Thank you as always for the speedy response! At least I know that I can have my coffee in the morning and my tea at night, so I am set. (and don't need to worry about setting the hairdryer on fire.....)

If you go to Holiday Inn you will have all of these options but in the standard DLP hotels then they are counted as extra Mind you many of the hotels I've stayed in Paris were similar, but given the wonderful cafes I would not have dreamed of instant coffee in the room

At Cheyenne you could buy packs of tea/coffee and bits and bobs (sugar??etc.).
I am not sure how you get a kettle though.

When we went last february you could buy little welcome packs of tea/coffee/sugar/milk - granted that was at DLP, but my cousin said they could do the same at the Cheyenne.

oooh yuck no!! Sorry, I should have been clear. I travel with my own coffee filters, german and/or Starbucks coffee, a coil to heat water and my travel coffee mug. (I'm not as bad a colleague, who travels with her own french press). I also take my $1,00 Ikea milk frother in case there is a microwave in the room, so that I can make a latte.

All of that to avoid instant coffee, or generic hotel brand coffee, or (gasp!) Nescafe like they serve at WDW.

But thank you for all of the details! And if anyone is at DLRP when I am, I invite you to enjoy a cup of my own brewed coffee!!!!

Like you, I always avoid Nescafe - not just because their coffee doesn't taste very good, but I take some issue with their third world marketing policies - but thats far too serious for a Disney board, so I will stop now!!

Last weekend, in the Santa Fe, there was a "water boiler" (don't know how you call that in English. You put water in it, push on the button, one minute later your water is hot)

You can buy tea baskets in the hotels, which contain coffee filters, tea, milk, sugar and cookies. I got one for free when we were there for my birthday

They used to have free coffee/ tea at the lobby at the Santa Fe, but didn't have that last weekend.
For coffee in the morning: you can get that with your breakfast

Actually, my mother and grandmother's influence. My mother drinks coffee all day, but it has to be the 'right' coffee. I still remember going to Disneyland in the early 1970's and my mother moaning about American coffee.

Now it seems to have reversed and America is coffee crazed! but the coffee shops here are still very different to the European coffee bars or cafes, and the coffee is also very different in taste.

I just don't think that I would survive the trek from my room to the Fantasyland breakfast without a cup of coffee first to sustain me.......

Ah another coffee aficionado. I've always like the advertise campaign in Mexico by the coffee growers "Nescafe is not coffee".
I get my green beans delivered and roast at home. Although getting kilo bags marked Columbian delivered to home I'm always expecting a raid

Drug of choice?

I may need to upgrade to a deluxe hotel to have room for all those coffee lovers who will be joining me for a cup!

Coffee shops in Holland are definitely different from any other coffee place...

I packed my own mini kettle - had the Euro adaptor anyway for my phone charger. I could't face the morning without a cuppa and I prefer to have a hot chocolate last thing.
