10 bucks a day for a fridge?

They are only comp for Moderates and Deluxe resorts -Irene said:
As for the question at hand: We've taken our mini fridge for almost 5 years now - we love it! We even brought a toaster (fit right inside the fridge while driving) so we could have bagels and pop tarts for breakfast... they've never had a problem with either of these items - and we just sit them right on the little table in the All Stars... so it's not like we try and hide them or anything!
Hope this helps!

We had one in our room at POR, didn't have to request it, and they were great! I definately recommend one, but $10 is quite pricey... Also, you're right, only for value resorts are they complimentary.

I've heard that fridges will be comped at the value resorts if someone in the room needs them for medical reasons, i.e. diabetes, baby milk, etc. I can't swear to this, but if you need it for a legitimate reason, and not just convenience, it is worth a shot to ask.

You are 1/2 right... If you have a medical need or and show the front desk your medication you'll receive a fridge free of charge - unfortunatly they do not consider baby formula a "need" (um, not so sure where they expect you to keep it otherwise though... ) but when we went with my family in may my aunt had to pay the $10 per day just for the formula...
One tip: king rooms come with the fridges free of charge - not sure why, b/c not all king rooms are handicap - but even the one's that are not handicap have the fridges...

The fridges they provide are pretty small. A full gallon of milk wont fit but a 1/2 gallon will.

Medical refrigerators are available at all Disney Resorts, at no charge. A medical refrigerator is much smaller then a standard room refrigerator. It can hold upto 1 month's worth of insilin, but is barely large enough to hold about 6 cans of soda and is not large enough to hold say a 2 liter bottle of soda.
The room refrigerators are about the size of a dorm room refrigerator, cost $10 per night at a value resort, and are free at a Moderate or Deluxe resort.
The Vacation Club properties come with a somewhat larger under the counter refrigerator in the studios and a full size refrigerator in the villas (1,2 & 3 bedrooms.)
It is advised not to bring any large appliances (refrigerators, microwaves, etc) from home into a Disney Resort room as it can cause a fire hazard. As to how strongly this is enforced, I cannot say.

Irene, you are correct, to a point. Value resorts still charge for them.

Or you can do what we did and bring a large cooler and fill it with free ice from the resort. Works just about the same. Saved a ton of money on drinks and breakfast.

The styrofoam coolers and free ice from the ice machines work for alot of people who stay in the Values and do not want to pay for a refridgerator.
I have had a fridge for medical reasons in my room and it was always the regular ones that Disney puts in the rooms. I have not seen the little ones.
