New "rope drop" skills unlocked. Was just first in line at the gate desk to rebook when my flight got cancelled. All the liner training comes in handy for so many things... ;)

Anyone heard of any good gift card deals coming up?

Unlikely to see any sales other than the usual until Black Friday sales come out.

Beverage coolers - just saw someone cracked the Cooler Code, SFL:

4:10pm on 6/1/26 by Ali Ababwa

collapse thread

Press and hold the function button for 2-3 seconds - the interior light should flash. 1 flash = 54F/12C 3 flashes = 45F/7C 5 flashes = 39F/4C Press the function button to cycle through the temperature settings.

4:11pm on 6/1/26 by Ali Ababwa

After a period (12-24 hours?) the red LED will illuminate and the cooler will stop cooling. Press the function button to reset the red LED and the cooler will return to your chosen temperature.

@super The thermostats seem to be several different types so the instructions vary. I think you can take a picture of it and then Google image search the model for reset instructions.

Thank you. I am the ice bucket full of ice in the "cooler" kind of gal in order to keep my yogurt or whatever cold enough. Yes I put it in the ice bucket 1st.

9:16pm on 6/1/26 by T-I-double-gah-errr

Any chance this will work on dcl cruise ship staterooms as well?!

10:01pm on 6/1/26 by jesterb

Who knows!? I can try it in July.

10:04pm on 6/1/26 by Ali Ababwa

I need to add that I have no personal knowledge of the accuracy of this, but i can try it in 3 weeks at POR.

10:05pm on 6/1/26 by Ali Ababwa

Has POR changed to beverage coolers? When we were at POR at the end of April, our room had a traditional mini refrigerator with a manual dial on the back of the unit for setting the temperature.

10:41pm on 6/1/26 by Dell795

I think they are possibly switching with the refurb?

10:49pm on 6/1/26 by Ali Ababwa

In Walt Disney World resort rooms, the temperature function button is typically a small black or grey button located inside the cooler, either along the bottom front lip or on the interior ceiling.

9:30pm on 6/6/26 by Ali Ababwa

How to Adjust and Reset the Temperature Locate the Function Button: Open the cooler door and look at the bottom frame near the front or the upper interior ceiling.

9:30pm on 6/6/26 by Ali Ababwa

Adjust the Temperature: Press and hold the function button for 2-3 seconds until the interior light flashes.Set the Degree: Press the function button repeatedly to cycle through the cooling modes:1 flash: ~54? F3 flashes: ~45? F5 flashes: ~39? F

9:30pm on 6/6/26 by Ali Ababwa

Resetting a Red Light: If the cooler stops cooling and illuminates a red LED, press the function button once to clear the error and return the cooler to your previous temperature setting

9:31pm on 6/6/26 by Ali Ababwa

Those instructions are accurate for specific digital Danby and IDW electronic beverage coolers found in several refurbished Walt Disney World resort rooms (such as the rooms at Disney's Port Orleans Resorts)

9:35pm on 6/6/26 by Ali Ababwa

Many Disney resorts-including Disney's Coronado Springs Resort-utilize an older or alternative beverage cooler that does not have a flashing function button. Where to look: Open the door and check the bottom-left interior corner or the upper back wall.

9:37pm on 6/6/26 by Ali Ababwa

How to reset/adjust: Look for a physical rotating dial numbered 1 through 5, or Min to Max. Turn it clockwise toward "Max" to force the compressor to lower the temperature.

I'm so sorry but I couldn't find this at all - I was at the contemporary resort and checked out now. Perhaps if the refrigerator was located a little higher would have been easier to search for it.I'm sure next time I'll see it and it will be obvious.

WDW list of resorts with beverage coolers and referigerators: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/refrigerators/

4:07pm on 6/8/26 by Ali Ababwa

There seem to be a variety of beverage cooler models in place: Standard rooms at Disney's Contemporary Resort feature built-in beverage coolers (typically compact Magic Chef or Danby units) rather than traditional mini-fridges. They cool down to about 41?

4:08pm on 6/8/26 by Ali Ababwa

"Disney installs these Magic Chef and Danby units deep inside custom cabinetry. This placement completely blocks access to the cooling controls."

4:10pm on 6/8/26 by Ali Ababwa

What I'd suggest is trying to determine the manufacturer name and then querying AI "how to reset lowest temperature of (brand name) beverage cooler at WDW"

My beverage cooler at the Poly right now has ice on the back coils.

6:16pm on 6/9/26 by JenniferB1975

Beverage coolers require about 1/4 to 1/3 the electricity and less maintenance than refrigerators. Probably wasn't a difficult decision to switch over.

Poly tower duo studio has "Dometic" cooler

9:18am on 6/11/26 by LuvEmSunnyDays

"To adjust the temperature on the Dometic beverage cooler in your room at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, locate the internal control dial. It is typically positioned on the inside bottom left or right wall of the unit. Turn the dial clockwise"

10:32am on 6/11/26 by Ali Ababwa

For Dial Models: Look for a notched dial inside the cooler. Rotate it clockwise to increase the cooling power.

10:33am on 6/11/26 by Ali Ababwa

For Digital/Button Models: Locate the control panel near the door or inside the unit. Press the "SET" button once, then use the " " and "-" buttons to set your desired cooling temperature. Your selection will flash for a few seconds and save.

I saw on Amazon these shower wipes to help with not feeling so gross with sweat. Also saw the DFB blog recommend a no rinse body wash. To help when you don't take a break at the hotel. And want to feel cleaner.Anyone ever try this? Is it worth it?

Ditto for YUNI. Drop kid at pool for warmup at 6.30am, go for run, quick cleanup at my car, sitting in stands at 8am for competition. Tides me over till prelims are over and I can shower.

5:07pm by Jennyhirsch

What really helps for me is a wet cooling towel to wipe down with. And then just rinse the whole thing clean when done.

Parking is free at waterparks, right? We will be resort guests. One CM told me it cost to park at the waterparks but not the resort if you were a resort guest... Another one said it is always free to park at the waterparks...
