Includes refrigerator cooler, coffee maker, regular and decaf coffee grounds, toaster, dishwashing liquid with sponge, sink, paper towels, microwave and ice bucket.

Extra paper towels, coffee cups, paper plates and plastic utensils, waste and recycle trash can.  Refrigerator offer a small freezer space with plenty of room for left over food items.

The vanity area is always one of my favorite areas while enjoying my stay at the Disney resorts.  Offering fluffy body, hand and face towels.  Amenities included shampoo, conditioner shower gel and "Mickey" bath bar soap.  (H20 products)

Just past the kitchenette and vanity area is the living area.  The cabin with the green cushioned top offers plenty of storage.  The upright wall cabinet offers space to hang up garments and also storage.  

The TV console offers additional drawer space with a Graco pack in play hidden underneath.  The flat screen TV is a generous size and has a good range of motion.

The sofabed was very comfortable to watch a little TV and enjoy the morning paper.  The beautifully designed bedding was a treat with plenty of pillows. I especially enjoyed finding that this was plenty of room under the bed for storage with the cleaver bed frame design.

One of Disney's many touches in the room.  We love Mickey Towel Art!
