We do too, but most of the resorts have went to the new twin Cuisinart pod coffee makers. We had to ask for the old one in Dec 2012. The villas still have the old ones, and staying at the BW we were able to get one.

Oh no - I didn't even think of that! The only time we have brought our own coffee was when we stayed at Old Key West in the 2 bedroom villas! Shoot. Maybe we will have to bring a bunch of pods in our suitcases and use it that way! Or just do more research to see what kind of coffee the Wilderness Lodge has for us. :-)

Pumpkin Spice Latte is my most fav. treat from Starbucks in the fall and then the Peppermint Mocha around Christmas!!! MMMMMMMM....I can taste it now!!!!
Now I'm thirsty for a yummy holiday coffee drink! Love!

My whole family are big coffee drinkers - especially for those early magic hours morning! And actually what we did last trip since we were so sick of having to run all around the parks just to get a decent cup of coffee.....we brought our own ground coffee - good stuff - and then also brought along disposable to-go cups, so we could make a pot of coffee - everyone could grab a cup to-go - and then we were on our way! And since we used disposable cups - we didn't have to worry about having to carry our cups around the park with us! Saves lots of money - everyone gets their coffee fix right away in the morning and more time to enjoy the parks! It worked out wonderfully and I think we will do it again in November!
:lol: We do the exact same thing!!!!

Yesterday, Stitch's Great Escaped closed for a very short refurbishment that will be open again on the 20th. (In my opinion, that ride just needs to die)

Also, the annual refurbishment of Splash Mountain is January 6th to February 1st 2014

Is there as universally disliked attraction as Stitch? That's such a great location in futureworld, they should really think about revamping that space.

from a capital investment POV, there is nothing wrong with the theatre... just the current show. i doubt it would take much to place the original X-S show back in the theatre, but that places a VEEEEERRRRYYY dark ride in the wrong place. IMHO, anyway. move the entire theatre and plant to DHS, and bring back the Joys of XS!

You could doubt that, but you would be wrong. :D That and it looks bad when you spend money to take a step backwards.

That and they would probably not want to have a convicted sex offender as the leading face of the show.

Wow, those look nice! May have to check them out while we're there, I would rather use a newly redone bathroom! :lol: Although Disney is very clean resort/park wide I feel.

careful of the airblades... do not place your hands too deeply in there... they do not drain fast enough in my opinion(end up with water from your hands back on your fingertips if you have long forearms).
