All BWV- STUDIOS now are without refrigerators- Only COOLERS?

[PKS44]

I just got off a chat with Member Services. They tell me that all the Studios at BWV have had their small refrigerators removed and replaced by beverage coolers. This seems like a significant downgrade and hardly the "home away from home" amenities I signed up for when we bought over 24 years ago.
One of the pleasures of having a refrigerator is doing breakfast (with milk and cereal) in the room. Those coolers are not generally cold enough to keep milk from spoiling. Also leftovers taken back to the room to be enjoyed later-not safe in a cooler.

I am going to write a complaint to Member Services and I encourage anyone who feels likewise to do the same.
And if you're fine with it, let them know that, too. I am only giving information. You do you.

The studio room descriptions on the DVC website still declare that the BWV studios have small refrigerators. A video I have seen of a BWV refurbished studio shows a refrigerator, see https://dvcfan.com/dvc-room-tours/new-refurbished-boardwalk-villas-dvc-deluxe-studio-room-tour/.

Send an email now, via the member website, with this complaint. I hope the CM was simply misinformed, but maybe not!

Our studio in March had a refrigerator.

I don’t think a studio is a “home away from home”… it’s a hotel room alternative.

Villas are designed to be the “home away from home”.
