I agree that there are a number of people, specifically millennials, that want eco-friendly travel and don't mind pumping their soap or shampoo from a dispenser (if they even take a shower).

I'll tell you what drives me crazy is people who think they are owed something because they go to a Disney resort. If you don't want to go then please stay home! People stealing soap and pens? Sure, maybe a pen or a bar of soap ends up in your bag, but enough to set up shop on eBay? People that leave their trash because, "It's Disney and they'll clean it up."

What is most disturbing is, whether intentional or not, people who a destructive on Disney's dime. Again, I don't if people think they do it because they think Disney overcharges or if it is just to test the limits. However if you wouldn't do it at your own home (jumping, climbing, pulling, picking) then why would you do it at Disney?

What do you mean by, leaving trash?

As far as tearing up the place. I agree. I see people trying to break off stuff, tear up landscaping, etc.

Yes, the human body is very resourceful. That doesn't mean I want somebody else's bodily functions on my body. You can pick your friends. You can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose.

You would be surprised at what people think is ok and do at their own home. Maybe I'm jaded from my job, but I don't think the "if you don't do it at home" test really works for a large portion of the population. While I was an EMT and also as an ER nurse, there are a lot of days I wished I could just bathe in a giant tub of bleach, and it wasn't because of blood.

If a person is truly freaked out by other peoples' germs, bodily fluids, etc., then they wouldn't ever be staying at any hotel anywhere, individual bottles of shampoo, conditioner or lotion notwithstanding.
Even worse than a hotel room however is a theme park. The handrails in line queues, the seats on the attractions, (not to mention rest rooms and water fountains); they contain thousands of peoples sweat, snot and who knows what else (well we know what else, but there's no need to mention those). At least in hotel rooms there is a pretense of cleaning between you and the last guests to use the room.

If you are referring to OCD people who are afraid of germs, yes they don't tend to go places. Some people on here have already stated they don't feel comfortable with it. They will just find other alternatives to staying in the hotels that are switching to the dispensers. There's hand sanitizers, wipes, etc that they can use in the parks.

As I said before, everyone has their own thing that bothers them. Apparently for some people, it is the fact that other people don't want to use a large dispenser instead of individual bottles. :fresh:

Haven't you ever seen someone at WDW drop trash just because they know CMs are required to pick it up. Sure, the same is true at movie theaters, the mall, where ever, that their employees will pick up trash and messes. It's just a feeling instead of a proven fact, but I just feel like people take advantage of the situation because it is Disney. "I paid $100+ for this park ticket? Let someone else clean up my trash then!"

I guess I hadn't noticed. I thought maybe you meant in the rooms, etc, and I was looking for clarification.

As far as trash in the parks. In the food court, eating areas, certainly. But I don't think much of that as it seems on par with any other public eating place (people leaving trays, kids being animals w/ food on the floor, etc) such as the ballpark, Burger King, mall food court, etc. I'm not saying you are wrong, I haven't seen it. But totally believe you are right.

But outside the area, no. But again, not surprising. People leave their.... strollers, all over the place. Stand wherever they want. I have noticed in the bathrooms, folks get crazy. I don't know if they are unaccustomed to indoor plumbing or what.
