Imagine you've spent a long day at the parks... You get back to your resort room around midnight. You're hot, sticky and sweaty. You want to take a shower before hitting the sack. You step into the shower, get wet and the pump dispenser on the bottle breaks. You can't take the pump off to squeeze product out of the bottle - you can't even take the bottle out, since it's locked in. And you're dirty, dripping wet, tired...and mad. Switch this to you've come back to your room with plenty of time to clean up and change clothes before you head out to your evening ADR at Citricos....and you're left dirty and dripping wet with time ticking until your ADR. I wouldn't want to get THAT phone call.

This will happen. Imagine if you've shelled out $$$ to stay at the GF for that once in a lifetime trip. And that dispenser bolted to the wall in your room is covered in drips, the pump is clogged or it breaks. And you have to call the front desk.... Dumb move, Disney....

Surely they were replenished while you were at the parks...

The only thing I ever use is the hand cream/lotion... I have way too thick & long of hair to use such a small bottle (yes I know you can get them refilled) every time I wash my hair.. plus the H2O stuff dries my hair out beyond belief. I also think Deluxes should get a step up, after all that $$ you spent to get a "5 star" experience, you should get "5 star" products in the shower.

Exactly!

I spend less money at other hotels and get B&B products or Frederic Fekkai.

YOUR USED BAR OF HOTEL SOAP HAS A SURPRISING AFTERLIFE

In the world's outcry over waste -- paper, plastics, fumes, foods -- your hotel soap ain't exactly a crisis. Still, everyone has wondered at least once: Where do all those once-used bars go? Not to the next guest, for sure. Heck, to be a five diamond property, a hotel’s staff must replace your soap daily, even if it wasn't touched. That amounts to a lot of fine-smelling garbage: Travelers and hotels combine to toss out roughly a million bars a day in the US and perhaps 5 million bars a day worldwide.

But it’s not all waste. If you’re staying at certain hotels [including Disney], your hair-streaked, Italian-milled body bar might be going toward fighting diseases around the world. An Orlando-based company called Clean the World has taken to collecting used hotel soap, melting it down, and making new soap to send to impoverished countries. They're saving landfill space locally, and perhaps saving lives globally.

In lots of high end hotels around the world that's how the soap and shampoo is held. I've seen them in pump dispensers, small vases, etc... It's the small disposable bottles and wrapped soap that is seen as cheap. Many people will like this change.

And if you are worried about touching something that yucky people touched before you then you should stay far away from Disney World in general.

I like taking a few home as souiviners, these vacas cost almost 10 grand a year, I think these little things are part of the magic , The last two years we didn't even get any towel animals in the room , I I am disappointed to hear no more little soaps we have them from every year saved .

If the new dispensers have Blushing Orange in all classes of resorts then I am all for it. That new sea salt crap is horrible.

Having worked a front desk with both small bottles and the pumps there are infinitely less calls with the pumps. They should be topped off by housekeeping each day where as the tiny bottle is always tiny. I get one shower out of those things.

Yes in 2018 they are doing a few things , what i heard is that they are changing the mattressesthroughout the resort, and changing the curtains between the bathroom and bed, installing larger flat screen tvs, and im not sure what else.. i also heard... but from a lesser source.. that they are removing the ceiling fans.. that one i am not sure is as accurate.. we will be staying dec 2018 so it will still be very fresh .. looking forward to some room changes.. i only wish they would put a grab bar in the shower, the values and deluxes have them, i dont get that

I prefer the big pumps. Much more convenient than fiddling around with those tiny bottles, use as much as you want and less plastic to landfill.
I've never felt the need to take any home - it's not like it's the best quality shampoo/body wash.
I don't see the sanitary concern here. It's literally soap, it gets wiped off by mouse keeping and if you touch it.. it dispenses soap, which you can wash your hands with.

Maybe you should prepare for all contingency? You never washed with shampoo?

I made a point about this several pages back. It encourages more use of soap...which means more use of water...which does not help the environment. Mousekeeping already does a questionable job, at best. The humidity of the climate in WDW and especially in the bathrooms makes that soap, shampoo, and conditioner turn into a nasty grime/slime pretty quick. With the small bottles, this is not an issue, just throw another set in each day. But instead, we're going to add additional work for the mousekeepers, when they already can't handle the load. This is going to go well.
