Value Resort Refrigerator Question

[stobaugh6]

We have 2 value rooms at All Star Movies booked for 10 nights in January. I'm planning on ordering some quick breakfast items and I have a question about the size of the refrigerators in the room. I'd like to order some milk. What size milk will fit in the refrigerator? Also, is there a freezer? I'd like to freeze some ice packs to keep my DS's insulin cool in the parks during the day. He has type 1 diabetes and requires daily insulin injections. Thanks for the help!

A half gallon will fit best, especially if you put anything else in.

Disney is swapping out all mini fridges for a no-freezer version. It's hard to say what kind you get. The back of the fridge can be made pretty cold though.

You can fit VERY little in those fridges. 1/2 Gallon Milk and a couple of items. No Freezers now. Have to be careful turning it to COLDEST setting...it will freeze stuff you don't want frozen. They are seem much smaller than the old style. We stayed one night recently and were surprised how small they really are and no coffee maker! Can't get beyond NO COFFEE in the morning. LOL You should get a soft side insulated cooler that doesn't leak and fill with ice for frozen items. You must tend to it, but it's an option. Just purchase a good one so no leaking and you will be good to go!

Yes,yes it will!

The fridges at POR took a while to get cold. So much so we started ordering a styro cooler from GG to keep ice cold beverages ready. Last year it seemed to keep things colder.

Thank you! I think we might buy a cooler from GG. I don't think a half gallon of milk will be enough for 10 days.

Is ice free or do you have to buy it?

Ice is free.
you can have Bell Services store your medications if you need to.

One tip on controlling the temps better in those fridges, leave the cabinet door ajar. I usually fold up a map and put it in the hinge to keep it from closing all the way. Air circulation helps them maintain a temp better.

You can get milk at the resort store.

I have Type-1 diabetes, and I am currently on WDW property. I store none of my insulin pens in the fridge: the spare ones are at room temperature, which is far from Florida heat thanks to A/C. I only bring to the parks the pen that I use at the moment, and store it in my backpack with no protection whatsoever (no ice, no anything, just somewhere in the bag).

So far, my insulin works as usual. Insulin degrades very slowly at room temperatures. When I'm home, I store my insulin in the fridge, and one outside on my toilet bag. When I need a new pen, I use the one from my toilet bag, and replace it with one from the fridge. That way, I never travel without a spare and new insulin replacement; this also implies that all my pens stay outside the fridge 2x their duration.

As far as I am concerned, I would never use ice as it will alter the insulin, I would not use the fridge in-room, because I would be afraid of freezing it, and I would never ask Bell services because I am not willing to trust anyone about protecting my life (call me crazy, but I don't want my insulin being inadvertently swapped with someone else having AIDS or I don't know).

YMMV, and I'm not a physicist. Feel free to send me a message if you have more questions.
