AKL-Kidani Studio Kitchenettes

[ConnorsMama]

Does anyone recall if the refrigerator in the Kidani studios have a freezer section? Are they dorm size or a bit larger?

We've only stayed in a one-bedroom there in the past, and we are trying to put together our grocery order for later this month.

Thanks!

Dorm size with freezer however it seems like any new units going in and thus replacements if one fails do not have a freezer so a slight possibility could exist of not having a freezer.

Same experience here. The fact that the new units don't have a freezer section REALLY irks me. What's the thinking behind that decision? Maybe I'm just upset because I always put ice in my drinks, but is there anyone who's happy about not having a freezer? Just wondering-if I could see how others might like it, even though I don't, then at least I could appreciate the decision.

Sorry but I have no insight nor can I think of any reason either why someone might not want the freezer.

Agreed. Why not have it. Even if someone never used it, it doesn't take up a whole lot of fridge space. Why that would be taken away as an option is strange. I guess Disney saves money on the non freezer models.

And as someone who counts on putting ice on my back every night, this REALLY sucks! At POR, I used to walk down to the ice machine, and use a ziploc bag. Kinda didn't think I'd have to do that at DVC now but….

Are ice machines available? I was in a BWV studio 2 weeks ago, it had a freezer but didn't keep it cold enough. I put a cup of ice cream in there and when I took it back out it was soup.

I also don't understand why some would have a freezer and some would not? Seems like a waste.

My DH and I are both gluten, dairy and egg free, so making breakfast in our room is important. We were planning to order some freezer sausage links to just heat up in the microwave in the mornings. I guess we have to rethink breakfast now...Sort of frustrating.
