New Classification System for Walt Disney World Hotels?

Given dispensers like at lower level chains, is not my idea of good value. Just disney cheaping out. If we are down to comparing disney to Residence Inn, then, boom, off site I go.

I actually like the practice of having dispensers instead of the little plastic bottles. Whether it's to save the hotel money or not, it is also more eco-friendly.

Then they should stop selling bottled water, and use reusable cups for stinky florida water.

Hey, I'm all for that too, or at least a better recycling program. I have to differ on the water though; unless you are drinking the reclaimed water from the sprinkler system, the tap water in Florida doesn't stink any more than the tap water here in Texas.

I think the water in Florida is horrible. But, it just may be coastal water. I.e. similarities to Houston, NO, etc.

No, we know they'll never stop selling water. Too much money in it.

But, I hate the soap idea. Just too nickel and diming. And some things, I don't care what the eco aspect is, I don't want. If I was super concerned, I probably wouldn't go to WDW. Just one more thing I have to pack now to go to my WDW.. Nah, Just stay at a better hotel offsite.

I agree completely, Oasis class is amazing.

I found it is quite different than the water in Georgia. However, I also found that after the first day or so I became acclimated to it.

At first I didn't really think I had an opinion on the refillable soaps but after having recently used a shower that had those bottles in it, I did have a bit of a gut response of "ew." It's silly in the grand scheme of things, but I realized it takes me into reality and reminds me that plenty of other people have used this shower before me, vs. new unopened bottles giving you the feeling that the room is fresh and clean, just for you! (A false feeling, yes I know). We hardly ever use the soap/shampoo they provide, aside from the hand bars, but I think even just seeing it in the shower is a bit tacky. I guess I'll just have to look away!

Just returned from a week stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge and Saratoga... Had the H2O products... On day 4 they replaced what ever was used with new... Didn't experience the dispensers in the showers... And now, I don't think I want to...
