Being able to get new towels without going down to the pool will be nice.

More coffee whenever we want-great news! There've been a few times when I've gotten to WDW, only to discover that I left extra coffee, filters, creamer and sugar at home. If I'm on a solo trip, I confess that I've made a big pot of coffee the first day, then reheated it in the microwave as the days went on until T&T day, when I'd get more. But on trips with DH, for some reason his "coffee snobbiness" wouldn't let me do it.

This is nice.

We stayed at a BLT Studio last December and got a liquid laundry detergent bottle for 2 loads.

I'll take whatever freebie they throw my way.

Must admit I’m wondering if this change is already factored into the maintenance fees for this year, or if we’ll see another hike next year to pay for it. Either way it’s going to cost us, this isn’t a freebie.

Hmmm... you've made a good point. That wouldn't be fair for people like us, since we've never asked, or plan to ask for extra coffee, towels or such.

We haven't either, but I suspect we've been paying for them already since they rarely did charge for it

I think this will help profits at quick service restaurants because it was easy to pickup sugar and creamers and bring them back to the room. In any case I think the cost is minimal, but adds to guest satisfaction.
