Which Resorts Serve Barqs Rootbeer?

[twelveone]

My wife is not a fan of Coke products except for Barqs Rootbeer. She really prefers Dr. Pepper, but since Disney does not offer Dr. Pepper anywhere on property, I was wondering which resorts offer Rootbeer in their drink machines. While staying at Pop Century back in March, I found out that they do not offer Rootbeer as one of the beverages. We realized this after purchasing my wife a refillable mug, so every morning I would fill my wife's mug with Coke for myself. This worked out great for me. I also noticed that the Wilderness Lodge does have Rootbeer as we passed by the drink machines on our way to the Whispering Canyon Cafe. Can anyone confirm which resorts offer Barqs Rootbeer and which do not?

I know this seems like a silly question, but trust me, it means a lot to my wife.


Thanks for the help!

As I sit here trying to think of where we've definitely gotten barq's, I am truly stumped. I know that we've definitely had it in sit-down restaurants, but I just can't be sure which hotels have definitely had it. We are a barq's loving family too; we had supper one night last trip at ASSports, and I'm pretty sure they had it at the food court but I'm not 100% sure. We've been buying 12 packs at target the last couple of trips too...

The Contempo Cafe at the Contemporary and Captin Cook's at the Polynesian have Barq's Root Beer in their drink machines.

I am pretty sure that all of the Table Service restaurants we went to in March offered Barq's. It is the resorts that I am not sure about. Right now we have a reservation for the first week of October at the All-Star Movies. Anyone know if they have Barq's? Your word about the Sports gives me hope... Thanks

I know I've had Barq's from the soda fountain in Roaring Forks at WL last April. My guess would be that if one resort carries it since they have an exclusive partnership with Coca-Cola, then they all have it.

They have Barqs root beer at Animal Kingdom Lodge. DH filled his mug with it several times last week.

Barq's

To quote from www.rootbeerbarrel.com (an awesome reference site, with - believe it or not - rankings of the best rootbeers):

"This is not really even root beer, and was not intended to be until Coke bought it and claimed it was. That 'bite' isn’t much of anything either. Probably the dumb caffeine or something. I dunno, sometimes I am into Barq’s but not usually. It is probably my last choice among major and most minor root beers. Yes, the Barq’s I get has caffeine! Perhaps some places in the U.S. or abroad it does not, but here it does. Actually the “real” Barq’s is quite tasty and I always get it when I go to New Orleans or the vicinity, that seems like something else entirely to me."

So it seems that Barq's is definitely available at the deluxe resorts. How about any Value or Moderate resorts?
