[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

My trip is now long over.   The reaction to this thread is really surprising to me.

1)   Regarding being "picky" about my coffee.   I never said I was a "coffee snob" nor a coffee elitist.   I used the term "picky"--I know a lot of people use the word "picky" to describe kids who only eat chicken nuggets and mac and cheese--I don't necessarily equate "picky" with "high standards."   That being said, I say that I am picky because I like my coffee extremely strong.  I probably use nearly twice the amount of grounds that most people would.

2)  No, I couldn't just stay in another hotel with a standard coffee maker.   #1, I am finding that most hotels are switching to some type of pod/keurig type machine now.   #2 as I said in subsequent posts, I was there for a Disney race---when you stay at a Disney hotel they provide the transportation.  I wasn't renting a car so this was very important.   Also, now that the race is over, I am SO glad I did not try to stay off site and rent a car...it was a point to point course and from all accounts, the shuttle back to the parking area (for people who drove in) was over 1.5 hours wait.

3)  No, the food court at the hotel was NOT open that early.   Buses started picking up to transport to the race at 2:30 am.   The food court opened at normal time, 6:30.

4)  Regarding being "princessy" to bring a full size coffee maker---no I didn't NEED a full size one (vs. a smaller 5 cup one.)   But I actually was thinking it would be "princessy" of me to buy a new coffee maker when I had a perfectly fine, functioning one.

5)   Via.   I've never tried it--but you need hot water?   The only hot water I would have had access to would be from the tub faucet.  No thank you.

I ended up buying a new smaller coffee maker--5 cup with a metal carafe instead of glass.   It worked out great.[/quote]
