Checked into POFQ on 8/3. There was a one in five chance the room would have a fridge, I was told by the CM upon check-in. It did not. I was told if there isn't one, call and one will be sent up. We didn't call, but the room next to us had one sitting outside their door.
Just to note again - AoA family suites all have fridges. LM rooms may or may not. We have friends staying in LM right now and they did not on Sunday but did by Sunday night after requesting it. They seem to be trying very hard to accommodate those who ask.
We were at POR from August 1-10th. We had two connecting Royal Rooms in Oak Manor--first floor. Both had fridges with a paper saying they were not working. My parents called and asked if they would be refunded $15 per day as we were told. The front desk said no. They then sent housekeeping over to plug in their fridge!! Very weird. Ours was never plugged in. Their fridge was the same as ours, same paper taped to the front.
For what it's worth, I just got a letter from Disney about the fridges. A little late on the notice, Disney. I leave for AoA (LM) and will edit with what I find at that time.
We are currently at CSR in the Cabanas 8B. we have three rooms my DM and DD have two connecting rooms. There regular fridge had the not on the front about it not being useable but there is a second working fridge beside the dresser. Me and DH have a working fridge in our room.
I just got off the phone with CBR to request a frige and he told me they were all in and it was almost done in all the resorts except some of the Values...hope that is the case as I'm ordering some stuff from GG today. Looking at the last few posts that seems to be the case.
I suppose everyone knows that GardenGrocer sells styrofoam coolers 27 qt for $8.00 and 24qt with handle for $ 7.50. Universal didn't have usable fridges last year so we ordered one to take our stuff from Wdw to Universal. Left it in room hoping it got a new home, otherwise kind of an environmental no-no.
ASMusic, preferred room, building 10: do not have a working fridge, did not request one. Ice maker on 2nd floor not working but 3rd floor machine is and we haven't had a problem getting ice.
Just checked in. Building 7, fridge with a note. We did call to request one as soon as the news about the fridges came out, and we had that request fulfilled with a smaller refrigerator there when we got in.
