Does it get cool enough to keep lunch meat and cheese at a safe temp? And milk?

They have several settings, controlled via button-press sequences on the power button, so it could be in any of the three modes, 4°C (39°F), 7°C (45°F) or 12°C (54°F). See https://www.portorleans.org/faqs.php#Fridges

You can also book an accessible room. They all have chairs and tables.

Do you know what other differences there would be with an accessible room? If the sink is lower, that would be an issue for my having to bend over too far down.

I just watched a YouTube video. The style of the room would not work for us, since the bathroom is one large room and nothing is separate.

How cold do the beverage coolers actually get? We will be there in 3 weeks for my daughter's nationals as well as park time. On her competition days, I usually pack us a lunch to bring with because there is never time to go get anything. Does it get cool enough to keep lunch meat and cheese at a safe temp? And milk? On our last trip we stayed at the Beach Club and Grand Floridian and had regular mini fridges.

Supposedly around 45, which isn't considered safe for dairy and meat.

Really hate that they went away from the actual fridges!

I agree. I can't understand why they did this. Most people don't even know this or disregard it, and could get sick.

Thank you. Need 2 queens! But I will see what I can find on touring plans, etc.

Building one has a two queen, corner room with two chairs and a table on the first floor, and it also has a bathtub instead of the walk-in shower.

All corner rooms at POFQ have chairs rather than the new bench seats. Most corner rooms have two queen beds, although some are King rooms (on average, about three ground-floor rooms per building).

Remember that not ALL corner rooms feature the extra window, there are some that would have faced into internal stairwells for example that only have one window next to the door.



And pretty-much all of the Ground Floor rooms still have bathtubs rather than the new walk-in showers.

Cool. I was just trying to be helpful to the question asked about the need for two queen beds and a table and chairs as I had recently been in one that was exactly what the poster was looking for.

So no matter what, the room now will be a remodeled version?

If you saw @andrewilley post above (post #11,041), he gave the temperature settings and one is 39 degrees. He states how to change the settings with a link, too. Your food will be fine! I've had milk and yogurt in the beverage coolers and we didn't change any setting and never had issues with it not being quite cold.

Given that ALL of the guest rooms at French Quarter have been refurbished as of the end of March, I'd say that's a pretty safe assumption.

Help! Super overwhelmed trying to figure out if we need a scooter, and how that will affect our room needs.
Husband shattered his ankle during covid and is trying to work his way back to walking for a few miles. My guess is by the time we go in December, he may be able to do a half day but will need a scooter at some point for pain/swelling.
I’ll have my agent help me figure out the scooter part, but I thought Disboard experts might have great advice as to what kind of room to request if we need a scooter, or if a regular room will be just fine.

TIA!

A scooter will fit in the regular rooms and the buildings all have elevators. But if you think he could benefit from any of the other ADA room features, you can certainly book one of those.

While a scooter will fit into a regular two-queen bedroom fine, you might find that booking a King Bed room would give you a bit more space. The upper two floors at POFQ have walk-in showers rather than bathtubs, and as there are elevators available you might wish to consider requesting a second or third floor room.

Thank you! I’m glad to hear the scooter will fit in the regular room.

Thanks for the info! I wish we could do a King, but we need both beds.
