I’m not @GADisneyDad14 but we brought groceries and felt that the mini fridge in the Polynesian Studio and the regular size refrigerator in our Riviera 1 bedroom were both cold enough. We had dairy, meat, and produce and it was all fine. It even cooled our beverages down from room temperature to what I’d expect at home.

I know what you are talking about though - some of what appear to be mini fridges in the standard rooms are actually called “beverage coolers” or something like that and don’t actually seem very cold.

It also helps if you can fill your fridge with already cool items - bell services had cold storage before COVID and I would think they do now too.
Thanks for your reply. I had an experience last year with the regular room fridge and you have confirmed my suspicion that they don't cool properly.
 
If skyliner can take long enough from 9 to potentially miss the 10am BG to RotR, does it make sense to get to the buses at 850am and hope for a 9am bus instead from pop? And if 1030 is the start of skyline to EP and they’re letting you in at 1015... seems bus is preferred there too. Are there indeed buses on the hour for both ep and Hs at pop?

I have been wondering the same thing. I have heard mixed experiences about the skyliner either getting you there with plenty of time to spare or late. I haven't heard any mention yet of the bus situation to those parks from Pop.
 

not the poster you quoted but I was there Sunday,
Almost every pavilion has at least one shop open (minus China) off the top of my head Mexico, Norway, American Adventure, Japan, Morroco and Canada had all their stores open, the others just had one. The difference in feel is the lack of international CP, and just the lack of CM in general, there's maybe 2 CM per store so it feels pretty dead
I will be live streaming tonight (link in my signature) from WS at 7pm just to see how the last 2 hours of park feel from back there


Oh that's great... I am wondering as well is the American adventure theater opened? or in Japan and Canada, the theater opened? the 3 amigos ride in Mexico? we like to use these area's to cool off and take a break... so just trying to plan ahead..

Thanks so much...

The 3 Amigos ride was open but Jose took a digger the other day so it's been closed since... One of my youngest's favorite rides for some bizarre reason, so we are hoping they fix Jose quickly!!

All the country movies are supposed to be open--Canada, France, and China. I believe American adventure is open. Also the 2 rides are open--Mexico and Norway. The big things missing are about half the shops, restaurants, and the country entertainment...and of course the international CMs. The America gardens theater is supposed to have the jammitors and Mariachi cobre during the day.

Are any of the counter service places in world showcase open (other than Regal Eagle?) I was looking yesterday on mobile order and it looked like the only counter services open was Sunshine Seasons and Regal Eagle at Epcot.

It's closed? I thought I saw a live stream with it open, just missing Jose?

The quick service at Mexico, Morocco and the bakery in France are open
 
When the parks open early, are they just permitting guests to go inside and then you have to wait for the respective rides to open? Or are the rides typically open when a park opens early, such as when Epcot is opening at 10:15 when the stated time is 11? Trying to gauge what time we should be arriving at each park.
