Grills at the Cabins??

[pattyw]

Hi! We'll be staying at FW cabins for the first time in Aug. Does each cabin have a grill outside? We're trying to plan our meals- hoping to save $$ on food!! Thanks for your help!

I haven't stayed at the cabins, but from what I've read on here Yes, every cabin has it's own grill.

Yes each cabin does have a personal grill. Inside has full size frig and freezer, stove, oven, dishwasher. You have a table outside on the deck as well as inside. I would however, bring some extra pots, pans, cooking utensils. Each cabin comes with 1 fry pan, 1 small pot, 1 kinda large pot and 1 serving platter.

Patty,

You might want to use our strategy that we use when we go camping (depends on the number of people in your party). It might work for you at the Fort.

I got back from the beach this weekend and used this strategy. And it is that the day we arrive, I buy all kinds of meat and grill it in one big cookout marathon and then refridgerate it and heat it in the microwave each subsequent day.

For example, we got to the beach on Monday (Memorial Day) and it was beautiful. The state park had a grill on-site so I got a big bag of Match Lite charcoal and groceries at Wal-Mart and cooked in one long session:

- shrimp and grouper (locally caught) for Monday night.
- 3 lbs of hamburgers for Tuesday night.
- all beef hot dogs for Wednesday night.
- chicken breasts and thighs (all boneless) for Thursday night.

Since you'll have a microwave and a fridge this shouldn't be a prolem in the cabins. We added some microwaveable flavored rice, potato salad and macaroni salad from the Walmart deli, instant mashed potatoes, chips, etc. I have a crew of 5 (me, DW, DS16, DS14, DD11) who eat heartily so it saved us a fortune versus eating out. At Disney the savings would be even more substantial!

So yes, use the grill, cook a couple days worth of meats, and then enjoy the savings during the next couple days. You've got that great kitchen in the cabins (we love staying in the cabins but they are $$$) so use it to your advantage. Oh, and Mousekeeping will do your dishes for you if you leave in the morning with a sink full of dirties.

Enjoy and good luck!

I don't know when you're going in August, but free dining is offered
8/16 - 10/3. If you're going after the 15th, that could be an option. If your trip is before the 15th, then it's a great idea to eat at the cabin to save $$! Regardless, have a wonderful time!
