Do you bring your kids beach towels?

[2Tiggers]

Just wondering....

Not sure if it is worth it. I know you can use the resorts pool towels, and it would be less to pack. Then I wouldn't have to worry about drying them out or washing them before we head home.

So, do you?

We do NOT bring beach towels with us for the pool. There are towels available at the pool area - at least at the Deluxe resorts. I think when we stayed at ASM we needed to bring our room towels, but that was 2002 so I'm sure someone who stayed more recently could comment better. In any event, I would not want to pack towels since they take up too much space. Even if we needed to use room towels and ask mousekeeping for extras, we'd just use what was available at the resort.

We do, but we drive, so tight packing is not an issue, we still use the pool towels provided, but like a big one to wrap with and reuse. Also at times we buy them when we are there, as they are a great keepsake and something we will actually use again.

We don't pack towels either, and we drive. I just don't see the need in it when they offer towels there.

I do pack towels. We normally drive, so I can take some extra things. I like them because they are bigger and softer than the resort towels. Plus I take our Disney beach towels

I brought them the first year but they never dried in the room and not really any where to hang them outside they started to stink so we just left them with the laundry at the end of the stay (they were bought to go to Disney). From then on we just took them off the maid cart or if there was not one around just took from room and at some point we would come across a maid with cart and get some more. Easy peasy. We stay at POP.

We drive and we brought towels for the kids. My DMIL owns her own embroidery business and she embroidered the kids names on hooded towels for them to bring. It was easier knowing who's towel was who's and the kids felt special. I don't know that we would bring them again, but it was a thoughtful gift that we were happy to bring with us.

We only bring the beach towels when we go to the beach.

Any other time we just use the towels at the resort. It's just so much easier.

Are we allowed to take our room towels to the water park? I would love to leave the bulky beach towels at home. We are staying at CBR. Are the resort towels a good size?

We don't pack towels. If you stay at deluxe or moderate resorts, free towel service is wonderful at the pools... oh and my DH always seems to find the wonderful cart of towels in the hallway when the cleaning lady is in a room and snatches a couple extra supplies because with 5 of us, there is never enough of anything in the room, especially shampoo and soap!

I do let my 7 year old DD pack one Disney beach towel of her choice but the DH and I make do with the resort towels.

Yes, you can take the resort towels to the water parks. Every day we went to BB, a CM offered to get us more from the pool area

I can't speak for all of the value resorts, but ASMusic has an abundant supply of towels for the pools -- you don't have to take them from your room anymore. I think they're a good size, because they fit around me!

So, no, we don't take our beach towels from home.

We don't take one but always buy one each for the kids on arrival. This is one of their souvenirs and they get a lot of use out of them when we get home.

WE don't take towels with us apart from 1 of the poncho style ones for my DD. it just stays on her better for the walk back to the room

 

[scottish mum]

sorry double post

We always bring our own beach towels. We are Pooh Size and the hotel towels just don't cut it for us.

 

[Goofy'slady]

I do bring our beach towels from home but I also bring my own bath sheets and a few extra wash cloths from home. There's just something to be said about using my very own towels. My girls are 10 & 3 so they'll use what's at the hotel after showers/baths and so will my husband but me I have to use mine from home.

Funny you posted this 'cause I was wondering the same thing earlier today. Nice to know that there are other "pooh size" people out there who are going to Disney. Sounds like I should bring my own towels. Thanks for all the comments.

I bring ours for the size and plushness. I put them in the suitcase first like a lining and then wrap the top around the contents, it seems to take less room this way.
I plan on doing laundry anyway at least once on our 8 day trip so washing them is no big deal for me.

We always bring out own beach towels because we have special Disney towels.
