Food Court Microwave Question

[michellej47]

My son has severe food allergies, and while Disney does a great job, there are some things he prefers to make himself. That requires a microwave. We've always stayed at OKW so that we have the kitchenette, but on an upcoming trip with just him and me, we are doing Coronado and staying in the tower. I know that there is a microwave in the food court that is accessible for him to use, but will it be accessible 24 hours, or just while the food court is open? I'm trying to decide if it is worth it to add a couple hundred more to our trip to move to OKW. I do know that I can request one, but I also know it isn't guaranteed.

I don’t know this for certain, but I believe the food courts are closed (and doors locked) after a certain time (11:00 p.m. or so). You might wish to contact the resort directly to see if they can assist or perhaps another poster would have more recent experience with this.

I just stayed at CSR and saw the microwave. It is inside the QS gated area so no access when closed.

I’m not sure of price difference for your dates but value AoA suite and ASM family suites have a microwave and more space.

If your son has severe food allergies, I would be seriously concerned about cross-contamination from the many others that also will be microwaving their food in the unit. You could try and clean it but it would be quite a project to get it as spotless as you might require. Perhaps other DISers will have some clever ideas to offer.

AoA is out because he doesn't like the skyliner.

His food is in containers and covered. It shouldn't be an issue.

Just a FYI for anyone who may not know,the All-Star Resorts DO offer 24/7 access to the Food Court microwaves and toasters and Beverage Islands.
