we need a microwave at Pop

[gigi1313]

It was there.

What she forgot was the waffle iron - how could we go all the way to the Food Court to get our waffles?

ahhh, the ever popular waffle iron... my bad... gotta have a mickey mouse head waffle iron or how will you know you're at disney?!

 

[Nayan]

We will also need a full bar and a bartender. What??? You really expect me to go all the way to the Poly for Lapu Lapu's?? I'll already have my big screen tv, full up home theater system and kitchen (complete with fondue pot!). Since I will be so worried about my poor DH having his snack I won't have time to go grab one myself so I'll need the full bar and someone to make one for me.

 

[Magic Mom]

I missed the fondue pot??? I'm sorry! As lond as we're adding though, I still need my kitchen aid mixer. Is there room in the box that's going to bell services?

POT LUCK AT THE POP!!!!!!!

Everyone sign up! I already said I was brining the weenies.

(just wanted to add a little more humor to this sad thread). Please don't put me in a corner.

That's very kind of you - but if anybody's coming from the Chicago area, I would LOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVE some Vienna Dogs!

And, um, I don't see a crockpot, a pressure cooker, or a rice cooker anywhere in that list. Or a gas grill.

I have read this with much interest, and frankly am amazed at the number of Master Electricians there are in the DisBoard community.

Those of you talking about 'electrical loads being managed', 'blowing circuits', et al have no clue. Did you know that a clothes iron uses more power than a typical microwave? Yep, close to double.

This thread reminded me of another a few years back that I commented on regarding a lady who wanted to bring a toaster to one of the resorts. The entire thread is here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=831745

but I have pasted my reply here as it is quite fitting to the discussion above:

mickeymom629: Bring the toaster. I am sure you have yet to burn your house down, (at least with the toaster), so that makes you a "Qualified Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah-Heigh-Ho-It's-Off-To-Breakfast-We-Go Toaster User".

It's not rocket science. There is usually a little slidey thing near the bottom that allows you to select if you want lightly toasted vs. burned (not 'burnt', people) toast. And the good news is that you have more than two choices; the slidey thing will do just about every shade of toast in between if you so desire. (You do know not to butter it first . . . right?) Just checkin. We want you to keep your award.

You people that get all bent out shape about toasters and microwaves act like they are the only electrical appliances in the rooms, and "that there newfangled e-lec-tri-ci-ty" is a fad. How many of you preachers burn candles in your homes in rooms you are not in at the time? Hmmmmm? The OP is not 3. Get off her. And as far as the smells 'permeating your sleeping areas', what is next? Banning the family that had Mexican for dinner? Because about 2 A.M. you better not be lighting any matches as you will have more natural gas 'permating your sleeping area' than the Tri-State Refinery. Talk about ruining the curtains.

Some of you made excellent points about blow dryers and curling irons. I have heard of more house fires being caused by blow dryers than toasters. (But I suppose you preachers would advocate using a blow dryer on a pop-tart . . . Oh crap, did I just give you an idea?)

It would be an interesting survey to determine how many of the people that preach "living by the Disney rulebook" concerning the toaster-in-the-room scenario, break the "refill of mug good for this stay only" rule, and return with mugs in hand trip after trip. (But that's a long-beaten thread from a resort far, far away. . .)

Just curious.

 

[mickaholic4077]

Thank you,Waggy,that was a nice trip down memory lane!!

 

[A Mickeyfan]

so, we've got a microwave, a toaster, a flat iron for paninis, a camp stove, a viking (stove, not an actual viking, unless we swipe one from epcot/norway), a li'l rental fridge, an upright freezer, a fire pit, a washer and a dryer, along with the all important fondue pot... now *THAT* is a full-service resort!!! count me in!

1. I don't burn candles. At all.
2. Someone cooking in their room WHERE THERE IS NO KITCHEN TO DO SO will smell. And those smells will pass to the rooms that are on the same vent system. Not somehow magically stay in their own room. Someone posted elsewhere that the Pop has 16 rooms on the same vent system. That poster called to complain because someone else was smoking in their room and sharing that smell with other rooms. A CM stated that 16 rooms shared the same vent system, so the smoker could be in any of 15 other rooms. Smells do travel!
3. I don't reuse mugs at different resorts. I can read the giant sign they post stating not to do so. And in any case, I believe that two wrongs don't make a right. Just because someone does one thing wrong doesn't mean they have a free pass to run around and do everything wrong.

 

[kaytieeldr]

How many of you preachers burn candles in your homes in rooms you are not in at the time?

1. I don't burn candles. At all.

Ditto. I don't even use those flameless candles (although, maxiesmom, you might want to try them - the ambience of candles, including the scent, without any mess or danger of fire; and you can even program some of them to turn on and off at certain times!)

2. Someone cooking in their room WHERE THERE IS NO KITCHEN TO DO SO will smell. And those smells will pass to the rooms that are on the same vent system. Not somehow magically stay in their own room. Someone posted elsewhere that the Pop has 16 rooms on the same vent system.

See my post earlier in this thread about microwaved wet wool socks. Imagine something comparable to THAT permeating the rooms of fifteen innocent WDW visitors!!! Yes, I realize nobody is going to nuke wool socks in Central Florida; see the phrase "something like that", with 'like' representing 'a comparably offensive odor'

3. I don't reuse mugs at different resorts. I can read the giant sign they post stating not to do so.

Ditto. Interesting how the poster maxiesmom quotes seems to automatically think the worst of everyone.

Funny but this thread made me want to post about my mom's toaster. My mom bought a new Oster toaster 2 weeks ago. On Monday, she put in two slices of bread, set it very low (she likes her toast very light) and walked down to mailbox to get her newspaper. She walked in to find smoke everywhere and her toaster on fire! It burned up the cord and started to burn the outlet. The fire dept. determined that the toaster was faulty! Mom has been in contact w/the manufacturer and is waiting to hear from their legal dept. So to those who have doubts, on occasion, toasters can be defective and start fires. My mom was lucky the damage wasn't worse.

Is this thread still going? Wow.

I agree.. It's like a dog that won't let go of a bone.. LOL..

I'm pretty sure the answer was on page one..

 

[Waggy182]

Still going. . .

Hey folks, my post was very tounge-in-cheek; didn't mean to get your feathers ruffled and all. It was mainly a response to all those who want to be Disney Police to state their own personal wishes as 'rules'.

Mapmakerj; sorry about your mom's toaster. That sucks, and she was indeed fortunate. That could have happened to any of us.

My point with the post was to illustrate absurdity with absurdity. I thought the Mexican food/Tri-State Refinery comment was gold.
