Has anyone else heard this? Do you know when this is going to happen? And what exactly is a "beverage cooler"?

They're sort of mini-mini fridges. Just large enough to store cans of pop/beer in - I understand they're sort of like what Disney has on their cruise ships (although I've never been on one of their cruise ships).

MousePlanet reported it at the above link - look under "Resorts" near the end of the page.All-Star Movies Resort – Beverage coolers will be installed in Guest rooms from January 23 to March 16, 2012. The installation will take place one floor at a time between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Guests will be notified via an in-room flier the day before the work is scheduled to take place.

Read: If you think you are going to be able to store milk or dairy products or even lunch meat, you may want to think twice.
Even warm cans of soda will take forever to chill.
Now, of course, my comments are based upon what I have seen on the cruise ships. This could be totally different. Here is to hoping that someone can report back with some first hand experiences with the ones they are putting in.

On another site..many were talking about it. Several people called Disney and they confirmed that mini-fridges were being installed. It is supposed to be complete by the end of April.

I believe they are getting actual fridges now. They have already begun to add them at Pop. They have added a wooden case to house them.
Pop Century has had rooms with fridges for a while. Stayed there a couple years back and requested a room with a fridge with no problem. It would be great it they were putting them in all the rooms.

You could always get them at Pop Century, but until now, you had to pay $10 and some change per day UNLESS you needed it for medical reasons.

Can someone who is going to be or may have already stayed at the Pop please post a picture of the Refrig. that are going in all the rooms? I have read and heard they will be smaller than the ones you can rent in the past there. The one we rented was the perfect size but I hear they will be much smaller. A picture would be appreaciated. Thanks....
A comparison to the rental fridge (previously available) plus a couple of pics of the 'new' fridge now available at Pop are here

That looks the same size as the ones in the moderate resorts to me.

My understanding is that it is a comparable size - but do note that the ones at Pop have no freezer unit.

^ I've stayed in POFQ many times and I can't recall if the fridge had a freezer compartment either! (I eat my Mickey Bars immediately! )

You can crank the cool temp all the way down, in essence making the whole fridge an icebox. This really works well if you get a bucket of ice and then keep it in the fridge, making it last 2 to 3 days!
