Does RPR have a microwave for public use

[tarheelmjfan]

I purchased extra GC's during the Pastamore $15 "blowout". I am hoping to use one of them at the Marketplace to purchase breakfast items to eat in the room. I take medication the first thing in the morning, that requires food with it. I was thinking that this would be both convenient and inexpensive. I'm just wondering if there is a microwave at the RPR for public use, where we could heat up maybe a breakfast pizza or something? Thanks in advance!

We have stayed there twice and never saw a microwave for public use. There is no food court like in some Disney hotels.

No. They will not heat anything for you for legal reasons they claim. However, they will gladly rent you one for $15/night. That was one of my biggest complaints from my vacation. It always seems that the most expensive resorts nickel and dime you to death and the chain hotels that charge a fraction of the price for a room load you down with free calls, breakfast, etc.

I have read that RPR rents fridges, but have never heard about them renting microwaves. Could you give me more info. on this? I would be willing to rent the microwave to make it more convenient for my poor DH, who has to go out in search of me a quick bite, as soon as we get up. No way, I'm going out in public w/o a shower and make-up. By the way, the GC's haven't come yet, and we leave tomorrow afternoon. Hope they come in tomorrow's mail. At least I bought 1 at regular price that I can use, instead of using it for lunch. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I never would have thought to ask about renting a microwave. My DH just called RPR, and was told that they rent the microwaves for $10, and the fridges for $15. We will definitely be renting the microwave. (They didn't say anything about 1st come, 1st serve or anything. Hopefully that means that getting one should be no problem.) As for the fridge, we'll just stick with our cooler. We used one last year at HRH with no problem. Thanks again!

Be aware that I was told just last week at the resort that if I wanted a microwave it would be $15/day. Also, we rented a fridge for $15/day and it never really cooled properly. By the third day it quit working all together and we had to throw out our baby's formula. I called and told them to come and take it out of our room and since we only had one more day, we just used an ice chest for her formula.
