Royal greetings to you, Cathy! I'm so delighted you've swung by planDisney with your question today. I have to tell you, between your love of coffee and princesses... I feel like we are two magical peas in a pod!
I grabbed your question as soon as I spotted it, because I got so excited for you to experience the amazing Royal Rooms at Port Orleans Riverside. They are WONDERFUL! That was my choice for a 10th Anniversary trip with my husband one year, and it was so very magical. We also
rented surrey bikes one morning and explored the beautiful resort grounds and waterways. You're going to love your entire experience and stay here!
I did some digging, and talked to a fellow panelist who had recently stayed at Port Orleans Resort. She confirmed that the rooms currently have Cuisinart Single-Serve coffee machines that use packets, not pods. Once you arrive, you could also talk to a friendly Cast Member and request a full-sized coffee maker for use in your room, which is something they can sometimes accommodate (pending availability).
I have to mention one of my other favorite things: Resort-Refillable Mugs! These will be available for purchase at your resort's
Riverside Mill Food Court, along with a handy self-service drink refill station that stays open all day. After my "starter coffee" in the room, I like to take a stroll in the mornings to the food court with my refillable mug for a LARGE, fresh coffee refill. (Then I also get Diet Coke refills later, throughout the day, every chance I get. Because I drink Diet Coke like it's my job.) Plus, the mugs make a fun souvenir afterwards!
Wishing you the most magical memories ever on your trip with your granddaughter, Cathy! Please grab some beignets while you are there, in my honor. They'll go great with your coffee! Swing by and
see me again any time at planDisney with any other questions.
Sending all my pixie dust your way!
