I just completed a split stay.
At Kidani Village, my studio mini-fridge actual had two external doors. The top one was a dedicated freezer!
When I got to Copper Creek, the thermostat dial had been removed. Coincidentally, a maintenance man showed up to replace a light bulb shortly after my arrival.
I asked him about the missing dial. I explained I bring most of my own food, for religious dietary reasons, and it's important to keep the food frozen so it doesn't go bad.
He told me that Disney has been removing the knobs because people turn the temperature all the way down, and then the next occupants wind up with frozen food. He also told me that with the regular refrigerators with sliding controls, they have been putting in screws to limit how low they can be turned down.
He was nice enough to bring me a knob. I turned the temperature all the way down, and what do you know--NOTHING froze, not even food pressed up against the cooling coils.
I also own a Wyndham timeshare, and as miserable as they are, they do not cobble the refrigerator thermostat.
