Hello Mandy,
How wonderful to hear you are bringing your grandkids on their first Walt Disney World Resort vacation this summer! We travel often with my parents and there is just something so special about sharing the magic with grandparents.
There are a few Walt Disney World Resort Hotel room categories that have microwaves available. You'll find them in the family suites (as you mentioned) at Disney's All-Star Music Resort and Disney's Art of Animation Resort. They are also available in the
Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and in the
Deluxe Villas at Disney's Vacation Club Resorts. As you also mentioned, there are microwaves available at most resort food court locations for Guests to use. Booking a preferred room, which will be located closer to the food court, will help in alleviating a bit of the inconvenience of the added trips.
You are also able to request a microwave for your room by
calling Disney Resort Hotel Reservations. Simply ask them to note the request on your reservation. You can also speak to a front desk Cast Member at your resort upon arrival, or call Housekeeping from your resort in-room phone. Please be aware that the request is subject to availability and there are a very limited number of microwaves at each resort, so there is no guarantee that they will be able to fulfill your request. It never hurts to ask, though!
Another great convenience during your stay is
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering through the My Disney Experience app. Participating quick-service locations let you order your food, beverage or snack ahead, pay in the app and pick up from the designated "Mobile Order Pick Up" area as soon as it's ready. It's quick, easy, and saves me precious vacation time!
Have a wonderful vacation, Mandy! If there is anything else we are able to assist you with, please let us know. We are all ears!
Magical Wishes,
Lauren
