Fixed Dispensers for Toiletries Appearing at Walt Disney World Resort Hotels

I haven't seen that at a hotel yet. But, that means I'll be bringing my own.

Thanks for the update.

Seems like it would be a much cheaper feel with wall mounted soap and shampoo dispensers, more industrial that personal.

I saw a picture online of a 3 pump dispenser with H2o products (shampoo, conditioner, body wash) and it was in a shower at POR Riverside.

I don't think it will catch on once people start pumping all the product out into an empty bottle....

Not a fan! I hate "sharing", so I really dislike this trend. Guess I'll be packing my own too.

While I understand what they're trying to do, and that other hotels cruise ships are going the same route, I think the design they're selected isn't the best. Probably those that dispense from the bottom would be a better route, I have the pump shampoo/conditioner in my shower and they're always clogging up. If you're having your room cleaned everyday that's no big deal but DVC cleaning once a week could lead to a gooey mess.

I do bring my own hair products anyway so now I'll just have to add bar soap to my list.

EDIT:
So my thinking was they were going this route to cut down on landfill, etc. Then I saw someone mention it was to cut down on use due to theft so I checked out Disney Soap on Ebay. Page after page of people selling Disney soap. Really people :rolleyes: smh

Yuck!!! How dull and un-Disney like. Pretty soon they all will look like any old chain. :( Sis said the pens will be the next thing they stop providing.

So glad I'm paying 200 or 300 bucks a night, or more.

As far as I've seen some "its not an economical thing since they can use as much as they want." Absolutely it is. Fewer people will use it, plus buying big bulk bags of soap to refill is much cheaper than individual anything.

Another reason, I'll be staying offsite. Sure if the Gaylord and Waldorf start using it (they are comparably priced to mod hotels or low deluxe) then Ill do they the same as bring my own. But I'm still getting better bang for my buck.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I don't mind it. All the hotels in every National Park I've been in has these, and they're certainly not inexpensive to stay in. In the National Parks, they talk about this as part of their green initiative.

My only question is how will I be able to put that into my luggage without making a mess?

First came the testing of optional daily room refresh (I'm sure it won't be optional at some point), now cheaping out on individual toiletries. Pretty soon, bring your own towels. They already cut out the alarm clock. If I wanted to stay at a time share, I would.

One of my first thoughts, also.

Not a fan of this. Simply because I can just imagine how gross these dispensers may become over time.

Yeah but the thing is, Disney passes the savings on to YOU.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Seriously, none of this bothers me at all. Well, that's not entirely true - between work and Disney trips, in a year I collect enough bottles of hand lotion to last me all year, without needing to buy my own. That will change...

So, they will get as gross as every other surface in a hotel room? :-)

I always bring my own shampoo etc. anyway. My question, how do they keep someone from opening them and putting something in it. Yucch!
