Any other Basin fans?? - The DIS Discussion Forums

I absolutely love Basin at DTD!!! I bought some Salt Scrub and 3 bottles of "Florida Sunshine" lotion. (Unfortunately I only made it home with 1, because I forgot and put two of them in my carryon and had it taken at airport security

) But I think I will have to keep a bottle all year just to remind me of Florida!!

Anyone else have a fave product?

We always go to Basin or first night to get some stuff for the trip. It is kind of a tradition now we always talk about Basin. On our last trip we found a very nice Basin store at the Grand Floridian.

I love the bath bombs...they smell so wonderful and it's nice to get a relaxing bath whenever I can, vs the usual quick shower and get to work.

grover · 04-02-2009, 07:37 AM

what is the price point on some of thier things..like the lotion and bath bombs?

check out their website, you can buy just about everything except the "micke" soaps. : ( www.basin.com

The bottles of lotion, such as Florida Sunshine, was only 9.99. It is a typical 8 ounce bottle. Salt scrubs were about $25. Mickey bar soaps, which DS loved, were around 6 bucks, I think.

My family left me there last time!!! No one wanted to come in the store with me...I love the Green Tea Body Butter...soooo soothing!!!
I also love the soaps-I bought a slice of Sandalwood and Patchoulli soap, and I love the scent....I would have bought more stuff but had to find my family...

I am a bubblebath kinda girl, so I really appreciate Basin the products they carry....

dbprimeaux · 04-03-2009, 09:24 PM

I love Basin, too!!! My favorite soap is the tea tree soap...it is great for acene!!!! I have adult acene and it helps so much!!! I also have fallen in love with the shampoo bars

. My DH ordered me some soaps, bath bombs, and shampoo bars for Christmas.....

Another lover of Basin products here. Just FYI: I found out a couple of years ago that you can use your AP discount at the Grand Floridian Basin, just like you can at the DTD store. I wasn't aware of that until I was in the GF Basin one day and just mentioned it to a CM. She said alot of people didn't realize the discount was good at both stores.

I love Basin. I never leave Disney without stopping in one of the shops. The cute slices of soaps make nice souvenirs/gifts for my friends at home.

Bonniec · 09-28-2012, 12:38 PM

Okay I just went here the other day for the first time. I love here and I have never noticed it before, I guess because it's a bit hidden away. Wow, that place is fantastic! Pretty pricey though. But I tested out their salt scrubs and the body butters and they are clearly the best I have ever tried!

Piglet54 · 09-30-2012, 12:23 PM

I love their shampoo bars!

ChristineNic · 09-30-2012, 05:03 PM

I have been a fan of solid shampoo since someone gave me a bar of Lush. Basin solid shampoos are soooooo much nicer. I'm in love!

Bonniec · 09-30-2012, 07:08 PM

Well I went back today and bought the place out, lol. Can't wait to try them!
