Based on the picture posted all the way back on page 1 there is a key. That’s assuming that picture is what they go with.

Bye bye Mickey soaps?

Don’t know if this is the same subject or not, but the Mickey soaps were gone at the FW cabins a month ago when I stayed there. They were replaced with larger “Disney Resorts” H2O+ Beauty products. Seemed wasteful to me because the products are big and they’d still bring brand new ones daily. In a week, we only went through one soap/shampoo and barely cracked a second set.

Those bottles last quite a while, at least 3-4 times if you use a sponge or washcloth to lather.

It's because Disney only cares about the money, Guest experience is secondary because 'Guests will come no matter what we do'. That is until they don't
Sad but true. They could raise the price another 10%, tack on parking and resort fees, get rid of bellhop service and valet parking, and close all the restaurants and replace them with vending machines and people will still book weeks at a time.

Tell that to the NFL... every fan base has a limit.
My family got back on Monday from 5 nights at Saratoga Springs and Kidani. From a visual perspective, I'm pretty disappointed with the bland, generic "Disney Parks"-branded bottles of soap/shampoo/body lotion in the rooms now. They are nothing special and that just reeks of "cost containment" and "They're tourists... Whadda they know?". It's apparently too much hassle to get a character on the bottles or even a set of Mickey ears imprinted on the bottles somewhere now?

Not to defend Disney, but I've noticed this trend at other hotels, both here and abroad. And not just budget hotels, but also 4- and 5-star hotels.
For comparison, the current soap/shampoo/lotion bottles from Kidani.
I see these along with the above picture from the Baymont Inn and can't help but think that Disney is sliding back to the pack instead of setting itself apart. I'll dig out some of the older soap/shampoo bottles I have and post pictures of those so everyone can compare for themselves.

I think I'm missing a "generation" of soap and shampoo bottles, but here are the oldest ones I have along with a more recent incarnation. The two facial soaps, one is boxed and the other in a paper wrap. The bath soap bar is roughly twice as thick as the facial soap bar is.
These are not in and of themselves a huge deal, but I feel they are more indicative of "cost containment" and taking a little bit of "Disney magic" away.

We need to start an evolution chart for Mickey Soap. I'm sure we'll get challenged by some creationist

I always try to stay at SPG hotels, and this has always been the case with Aloft hotels. The strange thing about Aloft is sometimes it's $97 a night, and sometimes it's $300.

I know that in reality the remote in the hotel room is probably way more germ laden than the soap dispensers are. But something just SEEMS grosser about bottles shared with other guests in a shower. 
And I'm with all the bar soap people. Absolutely need a full size bar of Dial to feel clean, and always bring one along from home.
