The last time I stayed at ASR (music) I asked for a fridge and coffee
maker, got both, never got charged for either. Was there for two
nights.
And there were fridges in the moderates before Disney announced
there were fridges in the moderates, so maybe they're still populating
the Values. I can see taking the old fridges from the moderates as
they get rehabbed and put in the values, then get new units with
the new furniture for the mods. The main TV console now has the
fridge in a cabinet at the moderates. All the rehabbed rooms get new
furniture since all the new rooms have flat screen TV's that won't fit
in the old TV cabinets Disney had.
Disney probably realizes they should at least provide what your
average $50 hotel provides. Wifi, coffee makers, fridges...
I was at Yellowstone (Mammoth Hot Springs), and there
was some woman complaining that she was paying a lot
of money to stay here, and the room didn't even have a TV!
But I digress...

With the crappy little one cup makers that are in a lot of the
hotel rooms these days, I'm thinking about bringing by own
coffee maker too.

Clean up. Let's examine. Half asleep guests using strange
equipment in a strange environment...
