Can you get a whole pizza at the Contempo Cafe? Can you use CS meal credits? TIA

They don't sell a whole Pizza, instead they have Cheese and Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza. However you can use CS credits there and if you really wanted a whole Pizza you can take the Monorail to the Grand Floridian and get one from Gasparilla's Grill & Games, which is their counter service location and you can also use your CS credits there.

Hi guys,
Had posted this in the cake chatter but thought I might give here a try. Have searched for an answer with no luck. Sorry if this has been covered already. Have been loitering on this thread for some time now!
So...We arrive on Feb 26th. It's my daughter's birthday on March 2nd and I'd really like a cake for her that morning. I've tried being transfered to Contemporary and have spoken to someone in the bakery and private dining, but although very helpful, they said it was too early to order and they didn't have an e-mail for the bakery. There's only 3 weeks to go and I know others have ordered cakes before. I have made a drawing of the cake idea I have and I'd like to connect via e-mail with the bakery, as I know others have. Any idea what to say to get someone to pass the e-mail on to me?
I appreciate your time, Anita

Sorry...I will get around to reading all hundreds of pages of this thread (I think i'm on page 20 something!)

So, can I just ask this even though I'm sure it's somewhere on this thread?

Can CR guests walk across the cool bridge connecting the 2 resorts, or is it just for BLT guests?

Thanks for all your knowledge!

Hi,
If I request a crib, would it take up a ton of space in the room?
Thanks

The rooms are some of the biggest on Disney property and the crib is just a pack and play so no I don't think it takes up too much space but I havent done it myself yet

I thought that I could request a real crib...not pack and play. I was thinking it would be those mini cribs
good luck with your new addition!

I don't know if they still have those. I've rented a full size crib from www.abbf.com and had no problems fitting it in a room at the Poly. I would think you could easily fit it in the CR room too.

Hi Anita...I don't have an answer to your question but I wanted to make sure it didn't get lost in the recent postings.

Does anyone have any info that might help her out?

Thanks Jimbo,
Heard back from cake chatter. Cakemanbri offered advice! Call the cake line - contemporary - and then asking for bakery e-mail should do the job. I hadn't called the cake hotline as I thought that was only for table service dining requests. Thanks so much for bumping my question! Much appreciated. Anita

We stayed at the CR last April and had a wonderful time. During our stay they were working on the pool area... the main pool was open but they had part blocked off and looked like they might be adding a splash pad or other play area. Can someone point me to pics of the completed pool area? Just curious as to how it looks now. TIA!
