News H2O+ products shutting down???

[llrain]

eeek, Just read this on Reddit then checked the official H2O+ site and they are shutting down.

ANNOUNCEMENT​

THANK YOU FOR 33 YEARS​

After 30+ amazing years of innovation,
we have made the very difficult decision to
retire the brand at the end of the year.
Shop your favorites on Amazon
while supplies last.

just bought some on shopdisney since it was on sale a few days ago... now I know why.

Looking forward to the comments talking about how this will affect their vacation in the long run.

 

[Sans Souci]

Oh, that's too bad. I liked the products on DCL. They smelled so good.

'Retire the brand' doesn't necessarily mean any changes will happen with what's used in the resorts. Just that it won't be called 'H20+' any more. It might be called something else or even be 'white label' Disney branded.

 

[SaucyBoy]

That’s too bad. They’ve got great products.

 

[surfsupdon]

Remember when everyone went nuts when those whacky 90s style products were replaced with these, which didn’t “feel Disney.”

Now they are synonymous with Disney!

Good point.

And, back to sarcasm/snarkiness:

"Coming soon, to a Disney resort and Disney Cruise Line!"

Yeah, sounds like they will just produce a new brand. They probably have done enough testing to know people want something new, so a total revamp. Just how it goes in personal care products

I liked the resort-specific little bottles they used to have, and when they had Mickey ears for tops. Perfect for Disney resorts. I hope they get that kind of thing back.

whatever replaces it, i’ll bet it’s a smaller size & more expensive if one chooses to purchase it

haha yes I was just thinking this! I remember when the brand was introduced - an unpopular change at the time.

It seems some things never change

The individual bottles are a huge waste of plastic, hope those never come back

Maybe for the better? Soap and shampoo will go back to being distributed separately by Mousekeeping rather than attached to bottles in the shower?

Good point.

I'll take small generic bars of soap any day over body wash in a bottle.

That won’t be changing, Disney is trying to reduce plastic waste, and this was one of many changes they made to reach towards that goal

Absolutely ruined the vacation I have no intention of taking anytime for the foreseeable future.
