Rule breaking police? Oh, please! The OP asked if the resort was okay with toasters being brought in by guests. She got her answer...They aren't okay with it.OP...sorry you must not have known the 'storm' your question would set off here...(rule breaking police)
This is why you don't want a toaster, or other cooking appliance in a hotel room. Even the most careful individual can have an incident where they set off the the smoke detector. Guess what, you're in a hotel, not your home, not only does your room start to chime and strobe, every room in the whole building starts to chime and strobe. When I say chime, I mean a sound that penetrates your very being and makes you want to rip your ears off. The fire department is automatically dispatched and until the alarm is cleared, the whole building continues to chime and strobe. Oh, and by the way, everyone in the building probably has evacuated in terror by now because they think there is a fire. Screaming children everywhere.
Ah, dorm memories. The good ol' days of standing outside at 3am in your PJs with 200 of your closest friends in various states of undress and wondering if they also had a midterm in a few hours.
If they provide them and you burn the place down that's on them. You being it in and burn the place down you are liable. They are responsible for making sure what they provide is in working order. Also I didn't write the shades of green website. They say it's against fire codes.aybe you got a housekeeper who didn't know there was a difference between what was allowed in bwi and bwv.
DVc rooms and some suites with kitchenettes have them
Just because you've done it and not had a problem with it, that doesn't make it right.
It's not the toast that burns, it's the crumbs in the bottom that go through multiple toasting cycles. A smoke alarm may be set off without an actual fire or much visible smoke. Another issue with standard hotel rooms is that they often don't have a surface designed to hold a hot appliance. A dresser, desk or table will blister with a toaster placed on it. The smell and smoke alarm effects on other guests aside, that's just a further level of disrespect for the hotel's property and the other guests who will use the room after you. I'm pretty sure no one has ever actually suffered from eating their bagel untoasted.
I work at a hospital and deal a bit with NFPA fire codes and fire alarm/suppression systems. Is your toaster likely to start a fire in your hotel room? Possible, but not likely. Is your toaster likely to set off a smoke detector? Not likely. Do I think that at least a few times a year the fire alarm system is set off by a guest using an unapproved cooking device in a hotel room? Yes. Does this cost Disney money and inconvenience other guests? Yes. Will you be asked to leave the property if you set off the fire alarm system? I would think so. You may even have to pay for the fire department response fee for the false alarm. Is it worth it? Not in my opinion.
They don't have you sign a paper which states that you are aware that you cannot start a fire in the middle of the rug or fill the bathtub with sand so the kids can pretend that they're at the beach. At some point, common sense comes into play.
Never stayed in a single hotel (and I've traveled a lot) that's had a rule posted or had a paper for me to sign stating no toasters (or crock-pots - not that I do that. Or any other thing y'all are saying is against the ' rules')
