I was talking to my parents today, who are currently at the POP. They had a new entertainment stand with fridge installed in their room 2 days ago.
Thanks for sharing! This is really great news!

Awesome.
Thanks for the update.
Did they know refrigerators were comimg to POP or was it a "magical" surprise for them?
They didn't know. A little pixie dust. They got a fridge for the length of their stay but on day two got a letter on their door asking them to remove everything from the entertainment stand because the new one will be installed the next day. They also got reimbursed for the fridge rental for the remaining days.

I never thought I would be so excited about a little hotel fridge....but I am
I texted my parents to ask about the size of fridge. If I get a text back I'll be lucky let alone a pic of it. Ha ha.
There's a picture posted by someone who is at POP now, in this thread on the Budget Board (post #40)Someone already posted it is the same unit, but it would be interesting to see how they fit in the unit.

LOL, I know what you mean. It's hard to judge how big it is from the grainy photo. To me, it looks like the brand name is Avanti. They make several models of refrigerator but I'm thinking that it might be this one:Thanks for the link!
It looks really nice-as much of it as I can "make out" anyway.LOL

The cube refrigerators don't look like they have the same dimensions as the one in the photo. And I can see Disney going with a "greener" version of the 2.X cubic foot fridge that uses less energy to run.
Seriously, you don't think $10 a night is bad for just a teeny little fridge? Think about it. If that fridge was rented out each night it would be earning $3,650 dollars a year. I like ASMovies. I think it's silly that when I stayed there with my 1 year old a few years ago that I would have to pay an extra $10 a night so I could keep some milk available for her if she wanted some during the night. And, as far as rack rate goes, My sister is going to stay at ASMovies for two nights... a Tuesday and Wednesday night, February 21-23... and with the spring discount it is $307 for the two nights for a non-preferred room.
Here's what I really don't get. The OP posts with some excitement that the values may be getting little fridges. Several people think this is exciting news but there is a faction that just plain doesn't think value people are worthy of a teeny fridge. Something must be done to keep the values separate and below the moderates, they cry. Well, maybe, just maybe, little fridges or coolers or whatever is just something that would be nice and helpful for people on a budget. Is it really necessary for there to be, effectively a charge of $3650 per year for the use of a little fridge that often doesn't even work that well?
I just don't get why people would be speaking against the values getting something positive. Do people really think it costs Disney $10 a day to run those fridges? If that were true then my large fridge would cost as much as my mortgage to run. The electricity angle is not working for me. I think it's something a little less kind than that.
