Wondering if POR will have the mini fridges back in the rooms the first week of August? I had read that there was a defect in the fridges and it was going to take months to get them back in all the Disney resorts.
I would plan on not having access to one. They are removing and replacing them all which, in total, could take about 4 months. I don't think there is any list as to which resorts will get fixed first or what order they are doing them.
Bottom line - Nobody knows. All answers to your question at this point are pure conjecture.
I am sure they are working as fast as they can, but I would plan on not having one.
You might be in luck. It was posted in the POR thread that only about 50% of the room fridges at POR are effected. Of course it all depends on other factors (like availability when you arrive).
