H2O Products Update

Disney Resorts to Continue Supplying H2O Bath Products Under New Brand

Fans of the H2O bath products provided to guests at Disney resorts, cruise ships and other destinations will be happy to hear they aren't going anywhere.

Back in August 2022, Pola Orbis Holdings, LLC revealed plans to discontinue its H2O brand of bath products. For many years, H2O shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and other products have been familiar staples in Disney lodging destinations. The announcement left fans wondering what brands--and scents--would replace the H2O products.

It turns out there will not be much change at all.

During the 2023 Disney Vacation Club Condominium Association Meeting, Vice President - Resort Operations Alison Armor indicated that Disney had acquired the rights to the formula for the H2O products and would continue to produce them under their own Disney resorts brand.

Most hotels, villas and Disney Cruise Line ships have been converted to wall-mounted bulk dispensers in recent years. Some are still utilizing the smaller single-use bottles which are replaced between guests. No word on whether the products will be made available for purchase in Disney gift shops.

Just heard about this too. I’m sure some will be happy to hear this news. Personally I like the scent, but I find the body wash pretty drying. I have dyed hair, so just bring my own shampoo. Was hoping they might find a bit higher quality brand. Oh well.

Count me among the DVC members who are thrilled with this news. It’s not the fanciest stuff in the world but it reminds me of dozens of happy trips through the years.

I like the scent too. It reminds me of my stay at Poly a few years back for some reason. I actually use the shampoo, but bring my own conditioner.

So happy! I love these products and bought them for everyday use. Hope they start selling it again.

I’m happy to hear this. I still use samples from past trips and the scent always transports me to WDW and wonderful memories.

I too was so looking forward to this being replaced because their product gives me a rash. I’m so bummed to hear it’s sticking around. I’ll just keep bringing my own toiletries.

I'm glad I'm not the only that brings my own toiletries. I used to love the body butter but they haven't had that in years, I do not like the lotion that replaced it. I hate the shampoo...I may or may not have dyed hair. I don't like the smell so wouldn't use anyway. The body wash will do in a pinch but I prefer bar soap and have been taking my own since they went to the wall mounted dispensers. I still have some Disney bar soaps that found their way into my suitcase and pack a couple in case I don't get enough bar soap. I love the mint foot rub hope they bring that back. I wonder if they will make everything or just the stuff that goes in the dispensers

Same for our family. My DDs and DW rarely use it anymore. We like the scent but like you said the wash dries out your skin and the shampoo just doesn't get our hair as clean as our other products.

I just hope that they make them available for sale.

I’m surprised it’s taking so long! Disney branded almost anything will sell.

I hope they bought more than the current scent. I loved the one back around 2010 and then the grapefruit one, but I am totally done with the sea marine shampoo. Sadly, I thought it was interesting the first couple of trips, but now it makes me a little nauseous, so I am one of the minority hoping it changes!

It may have changed over the years but the only place I remember seeing the sea marine version was GF

Minor change, but it looks like some resorts have changed to a new packaging for the Shampoo/Conditioner/Body Wash bottles.

This was posted on FB. It was stated that these were just installed in SSR and BRV bathrooms. Definitely looks nicer than the blue bottles with a sticker over the H20 name! Wonder if others will follow?

Coronado Springs now has them.

ETA:

If anyone sees the new bottles at other resorts, not already listed, please let us know! Thanks!

Wanted to add, since it’s H2O related… it seems as they’ve updated the H2O bottles on the Cruise lines as well.
