Too Fridge, or NOT too fridge??

[sassydisneymom]

Hey there, Hi there, Ho there, hope your as happy as can be!!!

My family of 4 will be going on our first trip WDW this June. We of course are on a tight budget. We are staying ASmovie, for 7 nights. And I've added the dining package.

I didn't reserve a fridge, but after reading post about the amount of food you get, I was wondering if we should spend the extra $70 for the week for the fridge??

We were planning on taking cooler, for extra water, milk, and stuff.
DO YOU THINK WE REALLY NEED A FRIDGE??

Forgiveness from all please, I've posted this on serveral differn't forms to get as much advise as possible. I need all the help I can get!!!

Thanks again
Karen

I don't think so. You said you'd have a cooler. Just keep it "iced" and your stuff should be fine.

When we stayed at Pop in June '04 we rented a fridge, but ended up throwing 90% of whatever leftovers we had brought back to store in it. We just never got around to eating them or they had lost their appeal. I wouldn't rent again, it was pretty much a waste for us. If you have a cooler, I'd just go with that.

I agree with the cooler, we did it once and it worked fine. Just ice it in the am and pm.

we always bring a cooler whether there is a frdige or not....the fridge's are the dorm style and they never seem to keep anything that cold. The cooler works great...in fact, ours is in the car and ready to go!

we just got back & used the cooler - the only leftovers we had were desserts & they fit just fine in the large cooler along with the milk & kiddos drinks

I agree, a cooler was fine for our last stay at Pop. We also had the dining plan and it was a ton of food, more than we needed. We used to cooler for some dairy items, water and drinks and that was about it. Glad we didn't spend the extra $$. Have a great trip!

Definately use the cooler. Fridge is a waste of money.

I usually take a couple of rubermaid containers, to put things in that will get soggy, if wet.
