Are Changes Coming To Hotel Bath Products?

I have no issue with this.

We always take our own shampoo, conditioner, soap etc when we travel. I have brought samples home, but I personally have never used them. I would be more apt to use them if they had dispensers like this in the room.

I totally agree that we like to take a stock pile home so that's a bummer, but the look of them actually looks nice IMO and not cheap like I expected when I heard about it. We normally buy a couple bottles of the shampoo and conditioner in the gift shop anyways so it's not a super big deal to me.

I'll miss my little take home bottles, but the big dispensers will be more convenient to use and they do look pretty nice.

I always bring my own stuff anyways, so this change doesn't affect me at all. However, I will say that I am not a fan of unsealed bottles dispensing anything in a public place like a hotel as there are a lot of weird people out there and I can see someone "modifying" the contents. I would prefer the small sealed containers.

Also, I won't believe that environmental friendliness is behind any decision until the Tomorrowland Speedway is history.

I always take my own stuff so not getting the little bottles does not matter. We did usually take it home with us although neither of us tends to use it once we get it home.

Looking at the picture above, it looks like they may have the bottles "locked" into place so no one can mess with them. And while they look nice now that they are new, it will be interesting to see how they hold up. I can see them being a cleaning nightmare for mousekeeping. We have similar bottles in our shower at home and they are horrible to keep clean. Cleaning the dispenser is not so bad but it gets pretty gross behind it.

I bring my own stuff also but I do love my little bottles to take home... I agree with being able to tamper with them, yeah they look locked down but you could probably still screw the tops off.

Kristen, I read that article about the soaps also and thought what a fantastic idea. Hopefully there will still be some resorts offering the others and they can keep up their work.

I take my own shampoo as well. I take a couple of bottles home which I do use on occassion when I run out of shampoo before getting to the store.

I seem to remember reading this was a hoax. I'll have to see if I can find it.

I pictured those metal boxes similar to soap dispensers in a gas station bathroom. So this is a big step up for me!

Great point, I hadn't thought of that...

I tried looking for it the other night with no luck. I haven't had time to look again. I'll try this weekend.

Similar systems are used in some U.K. Hotels. As long as mousekeeping fit the top on securely it's impossible to remove the bottles or the caps.

Cleanliness can be an issue on the bottles and the area that holds the bottles, but will probably be fine with the high standards Disney have.

I will miss the little bottles but not that much because a few times the little ears on the lids have made the bottles open and spread shower gel all over my wash bag.

We just got back from staying at the Beach Club Villas, and the new dispensers were NOT in the rooms.

Just saw these are now at Pop in the refurbished rooms. Not sure about the non-refurbished rooms.

So, whatever I read was a hoax must have been something else that was posted around the same time.

I don't think Pop is one of pet friendly resort. Or did they add as part of the test?

Dispensers are not at SSR either.

Saw on Facebook this weekend, the dispensers are not in all refurbished rooms.

I've been reading on Facebook the dispensers have made their way to DCL. Someone posted they were added to the Dream

Last September when we stayed in 5 different resorts in 8 days, one of them had these soap dispensers. They looked nice, they were clean and are tamper proof. However, I when I was in the shower I discovered that the body soap dispenser was EMPTY! I always bring my own and usually use my own but had not unpacked it due to the amount of times we were changing resorts. So, I did have body wash. But this could have been a big inconvenience for those who do not travel with their own.

My DH loves the grapefruit shampoo. His small bottle stash has finally been depleted so we recently purchased a large bottle of H2O+ I really like the grapefruit scented lotion so that is my next H2O+ purchase!

I do not remember there being any problem with the pumps. The only problem i can really see with them is making sure they are filled.

Do you think Disney makes/ saves any money on this? Any time they do something good for the environment, just by coincidence it makes them money.

Reducing their footprint? They destroyed the central Florida eco-system killing millions of animals, plants, and trees. Shut down and let it return to swamp. That's the responsible thing to do for the planet.
