I usually grab a handful of creamers from the PM or RIX cafe and take them back to the room.

[jandbmom]

Thanks! Do you know if they have any flavored creamer?

[tink771]

Sorry, I dont' think they had flavored creamer. You may want to pick some up if you really want a certain flavor. I know I need my hazelnut creamer in additon to regular!

[jandbmom]

Thanks, sorry one more question! Do you know if I can purchase it anywhere on property we will not have a car?

[tink771]

There are Hess's on property you can take a cab to but I'm not sure about flavored creamer. When are you going? I can check when I go in acouple of weeks.

[jandbmom]

I am not going till May. Thanks for the offer and have a great vacation.

We will be staying at CSR (1st time) at the end of April. In the past we have never gotten the dining plan. However.....I have been tossing around the idea of getting the QSDP this time because of the higher prices at PM. Do any of you CSR veterans have a opinion on this? My problem is I am not sure how many times we will eat there or if we will like it. My DH says the menu does appeal to him (he is not a big Disney food fan) but he does like Mexican and Asian food. We always get a rental car and tend to eat off-site a few times while we are there which we probably won't do if we get the plan. Then we will have snacks and breakfast foods for our room. I am thinking that if we eat there 3 or 4 times then it will be worth it.

Any input to help me make my decision??

I had considered the QSDP myself. I finally decided not to do it beacuse we will spend less money on our own. Not only that, I do not want to be restricted to only eating at the PM every night to justify the value. This is my opinion.

[KatMark]

I agree. And although the PM is expensive, the meals are big enough that they can be shared between two thus saving you some money.

Do you have to bring in your own coffee and filters? Or isn't that something provided by the resort on a daily basis?

I have been reading through all the various threads and am getting excited to go! Only 1 more week till we take off!! I read somewhere that there are micorwaves available but you have to ask for one. Is this correct? If so, is there a rental fee? The fridge comes with the room, right? One more question, when should I fax my request for a specific building?

Thanks!

It's something that was provided each day. What it is is a packet with a coffee "pod" that you throw in the coffee basket, a couple paks of reg. sugar, couple of Splenda, some dry creamer and a few stirrers. We actually made it but it was more of a starter (not very good), we would go down to the Cafe Rix and fill our refillable mugs with coffee. Don't use the coffee machine in there, go to the counter and ask them to fill, much better tasting.

Not sure on the microwave but yes there is a fridge in the room. We didn't fax a request but I believe some people here have suggested a day or 2 before leaving. Have a great time!!
