Question about breakfast ...

What time does Sassagoulas begin serving hot, cooked items? We are doing KTTK on 09/20 and will need breakfast at around 6:30 a.m. MK opens for AM EMH that day at 8 a.m., so we were thinking maybe they started serving at 6 a.m.? Or can we only buy items out of bakery counter at that hour?

TIA for help!

If it were me, I'd just go to the front desk. I dont recall if it was last year or the year before, but we had a problem with our fridge freezing stuff (not so great when it's your salad!) and we just rang the front desk and they came and changed it for us.

General question for all resort quick service restaurants. If you are on the DDP and go to the food court for lunch or dinner what are the snack options? I know it states you get a drink, meal and dessert but what qualifies as a dessert? Is it pre determined?

The Bakery opens at 6 a.m. (til 12 midnight), and full breakfasts are served from 7 a.m. til 11 a.m.

At French Quarter food court you can choose a dessert from the Bakery (cupcakes, brownies, cookies, carot cake, etc.). I think that you might also be able to choose a Mickey Bar, or a bowl of ice cream as a dessert or a snack.

We had the same problem. Pull the frig out and at the bottom right (Looking at the frig from the front view), there is a dial to adjust the temp. It takes about 2 hours empty and overnight full.

DARN! That's what I was thinking, but hoping I wasn't right!

Low and Behold Mousekeeping comes back with the box full. DD gives her 10.00 and thanks her.

DD has done this the past few years and gets away with it. I do not have the nerve to ask because I know they will just say no like they are supposed to.

What does she do with all that? I feel fine bringing home an extra soap or two, but that is a LOT of soap? Donate to women's shelters?

Thanks~ Husband pulled it out and found the dial, hopefully that fixes the problem. Off to MK, will check once we come back.

Super - Glad you found the dial... Say Hi to Minnie and Mickey for us..

Thanks. Love all the info. I was hoping kids could pick something fun like that instead of the plain cakes.

An empty refrigerator will not feel cool when you open it. It takes about 12 hours for it to cool your items. If you turn it down (make it colder) you could make it end up being too cold and freezing your items. So, if you did this, you might want to check your items. Also, a full refrigerator works more quickly than a mostly empty one.

I hope you are enjoying your stay.

We are sooo excited - 20 days until our trip!! We are checking into POFQ 8/25-9/1... I would love to order a case of water from Green Grocer (or whatever the delivery service is)... Is anyone else checking in around that same time who would like to split the delivery fee?
