Thanks for you reply, really appreciate your opinion!We stayed in a refurbished room and it still has the woodsy vibe. The cute little animals on the headboard are gone, but the colors and decor are still there.My only complaint about the refurbished room is the lack of a towel rack in the sink area. They have two hooks instead. But otherwise, the room is nice.
It was open until 11 pm this weekend.
There are two grills located near the Copper Creek cabins and there is probably at least one grill at Boulder Ridge. The DVC buildings always have a grill.
I don't recall there being a bus. The boat was super easy. I think it started running about an hour before early entry, if I recall correctly.
We've done both, if we want to be near the front of the line for rope drop we usually take the bus.
Maybe the gas station at the Car Care Center? It’s probably about a 5 minute drive from the WL at that time of day.We arrive for our 7 day stay one week from tomorrow! (First world problem incoming…)
I’m getting nervous about my Starbucks addiction... Coffee brewed in the room just won’t cut it, and as much as I’d like to bring my Nespresso machine, I just don’t think there’s room in our luggage
In order for me to be coherent enough to book G+ rides at 7am and deal with the four kids needing my attention around the same time, I need to have some caffeine (prepared by someone else) coursing through my veins by 6:30-6:45 at the latest. Are there really no options for that on-site? It appears that Roaring Fork opens the earliest, but not until 7am… that won’t work
Anywhere I can walk/get to easily that opens before then, preferably by 6-6:30? I will have a rental car so don’t mind driving as long as it’s easy in/out.

This is what I had come up with as my plan… glad to know it was an easy drive! Looks like around 15 mins? Well worth it for my quad blonde venti latte w/ 2 pumps sugar free vanillaWe drove to the Starbucks at Western Way and Main Street in Winter Garden every day during our trip! Opens at 5.
It was an easy drive (if not super fast/close), and to us, it was worth it!
It boggles my mind that nowhere else opens before 7… the DTD SBs open at 9am?!?! I’ve lived an entire life by then! Thank you for letting me know it’s possible!
It’s not far at all, just go straight though the intersection at the WL exit. You’ll pass the TTC & the Poly, the road basically ends, take a left and stay to the right, you’ll see the gas station. Now I’ve never bought coffee there, but years ago when I was a CM, we would get pizza and it was good. I believe they brew fresh coffee, it’s not Starbucks, but it’s caffeine! Ask at the front desk for recommendations, too.
The nature view rooms face the Contemporary. Many of the rooms have a partial view of the MK fireworks. I would request an open balcony so you don't get a dormer balcony. The dormer balcony walls are chest high and you can't see out unless you are standing.
