Jana,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
The rooms at
Disney's BoardWalk Inn do, in fact, have mini refrigerators. They don't have a freezer component, but they are big enough for a good supply of sodas, juice boxes, and leftovers from your dinner the night before!
As for requesting a microwave, yes, it is worth it to ask. We asked for one for our room on our last trip, and they placed it in the room in the early afternoon of our arrival day. We needed it for a medical purpose, but we did not have to state that to get it.
Disney does caution that they have a limited number of microwaves available and cannot guarantee that they will be able to oblige, though they will try. Having said that, I would suggest you contact the resort hotel directly sooner, rather than later, to get on the list of guest requests. That way you increase your chances of getting one. Just call them at
(407) 939-6200.
BONUS TIPComing soon to Disney's BoardWalk is a restaurant from just a few miles away from my home here in Indiana, the
Cake Bake Shop! You think you have had cake, but until you visit the Cake Bake Shop, you really have not!
Write me back if you have any follow-up questions.
Have a Magical Vacation!
