anyone stayed at the coranado springs and what is the food like in the food court? do they do the re-fillable mug here? once again thanks val, you've made an 'old girl' very very happy xxx :d: :pgig: :d: :pgig: :d:

[Cinders Mum]

Hey "oldie" ;)

They do sell re-fillable mugs and well worth the investment they are too.....

I haven't eaten at Pepper Market yet, but will be sure to be taking loads of photos in 3 weeks time.

Right from this "young un" I'll say goodnight, before you get the slipper out!!! LOL

Speak Soon

[doryfan1]

you'll need your sleep after all the stress of dealing with me! people like me don't make the job easy now! thanks for everything, sleep tight. x:zzz:

Yes they do the refillable mug at CS, can be a bit of a trek to fill up though as the rooms are well spread out and only places to refill are at Pepper Market and at the pool bar. Great for around the pool though.
Lots of people here love CS -we had an iffy stay due to being put in the wrong block - that they were painting and refurbing while were there - paint smells and a non-functioning courtyard area etc
I'm sure you will have a great time - the onsite shop is the biggest I've seen and has unique items too. Transport to and from the parks is excellent. The buses pick up and drop off at three places the site is so huge.

Doryfan, i'm also going to CSR with free DDP in August thanks to our wonderful Val!:thumb:
We will be there for 3 weeks! Looks like there will be quite a few Dibbers out there! I can't wait!:wave:

I really liked the Pepper Market - my parents found it a bit too loud for their liking, but I thought it was great fun. It's literally like a Mexican market so lots of hussle and bussle, but the food was fantastic for food court fayre, lots more choice than any of the other food courts (steaks, mexican, salads, sandwiches - you name it they had it), and it's all cooked fresh to order in front of you.

How well do I know this feeling:confused2
Last year we saw a lovely crystal Pluto at DTD (Art of Disney shop) -decided I did not need another Pluto and it was pricey. On the last but one day - we went in EVERY Art of Disney shop looking for it:omg: Got the last one finally at the Castle shop in MK but only after the Main St shop had rung and asked them to hold it for me - great customer service:thumbs-up )
I will buy on sight in future lol

Oh no, don't tell me about this ! I had decided we were going to Pop Century but Coronado Springs looks sooooooooo beautiful and DD would love the pool and I'm told it's the best dining plan value on site for a counter service meal ;) ( not that it necessarily matters that it would have been the most expensive counter service, the selection looks great )
PS I think Val's an angel too !

DH has spent the morning looking up the choices at the Pepepr Market and he's now a very happy chap! There's so much choice! And the Maya Grills menu looks great too! I can't wait!:D
I'm now looking forward to next years holiday more than this years trip to the ASMO!:blush:

[doryfan1]

LOL veronica,
my dh has been driven to despair with my chuntering on about next years holiday 'FOR GODS SAKE WOMAN WE HAVEN'T BEEN THIS YEAR YET':angry:
i too am very excited about nest year because i didn't think we'd be able to go so it makes it even more special:happy: we may spot each other :wavey:

:D I know how you feel! DH said this year would be our last ever trip, but when i saw the thread about the Virgin discounts i couldn't resist a peek! ;)
Next thing i knew he was looking over my shoulder telling me to check the price for 21 days!!!!!:omg: I would have been happy with a weekend in DLP, there was no way i ever thought he would consider 21 days in WDW! But 24 hours later it was booked!:D I woke up the next morning and the first thing i said to him was "Oh my God, we're going for 3 weeks!" I still don't think it's sunk in properly!
I'm already stressing about the 21 restarants i need to be picking and what on earth we're supposed to do with 63 snack credits!!!:omg: :pgig:

[doryfan1]

21 days lucky you :p: :jump: my dh is just the same, pretends he's not bothered then comes with a list of questions about it, then puts his fingers in his ears and closes his eyes at the hotel pictures cos 'it'l spoil the suprise':pgig: arn't we just the luckiest people :spin: :tiggerbou :happy:
the only down side on my part is my ds (he'l be 18 next year) is going away with his friends next summer so won't be joining us:cry: :( he would love to come but hasn't been with his friends yet and won't be able to get enough time off work, oh well all part of letting them go i suppose. :confused2

Just think of all the romantic things you will be able to do ... on second thoughts, stuff that and show me the way to It's a Small World!:pgig: :pgig:

[doryfan1]

no time for romance, did that twice, he's 17 and she's 14.. romance costs a fortune and gives you grey hairs, still be taking dd with us though and if we even try to hold hands she screw's her face up in disgust..she'd have a fit if we showed affection in public;)

[doryfan1]

sorry i'll keep it clean and try to cut down on the mental pictures

[Vabeth]

####!!!!:pgig: :pgig: :pgig:

[doryfan1]

I'm laughing my head of at ####, but for the life in me i can't work out what it means :tounge: :stupid:

You're on the right tracks:D - it means to 'piddle' yourself with laughter, if you know what i mean!;)
