Can everyone use the microwaves at All-Star Sports?

[André David]

Hi folks!

On my last trips I've never used the microwaves at the food court.

First important detail: Me and my wife are vegans;
Second important detail: For us, a Disney trip is really, really expensive. R$1,00 can buy only US$0,24. So, if something costs one dollar, for us costs 4 times more.

All that considered, I tought that could be a good idea grab some frozen food from the supermarket, so we don't have to worry about options on the breakfast and that we can save some money during the trip.

HOWEVER, I was browsing on web on the other day, and found a forum (not Disboards) with some people condeming the use of the microwaves by guests who are not buying food on the resort. I don't know if it's a rule, a cultural matter (I'm not north american) or something else.

So I ask you guys: can I use the microwaves even if I buy food outside the resort? It will be offensive to other guests?
Thanks a lot.

You are paying to stay at the resort so can use all of the amenities. I am sure many people use the microwaves to warm/heat food not purchased at the food court.

How do you intend to keep frozen food frozen? That is more of an issue than using a microwave. There is no real freezer in the little fridges in the rooms

That's exactly what I think. But I was afraid of any cultural differences and didn't want to do anything wrong...

I was thinking that this little fridges had a space for ice, on the top. Now that you mention... Hahahaha seems like my plan is totally silly.

My main question is still valid for food that we keep on the fridge, however, like vegan cheese.

The newer ones don't even have a space for ice - no freezer at all

Anyone staying at the resort may use the microwaves and toasters. Last time we were at Pop we had a loaf of bread and made toast for ourselves.

Good to know! I feel a lot better to know that is ok to use the toasters as well!

Not quite that bad! Thats assuming that something that costs R$1 in Brazil would cost US$1 in the USA. It doesn't. A gallon of milk costs around R$11 in Brazil which is US$2,64. My local store here is around US$2,50 unless its on sale.
