Have Riviera Studios always had real dishes?

[bobbiwoz]

We are happily impressed!


I booked here because we wanted to check the resort out, and I really like a stand up shower. We like this resort a lot!

It has been a while since I was in a studio so not sure but I do not remember that little silverware holder.

It’s such a beautiful place isn’t it??

Real cups!

Real cups!

And they look big enough to hold enough coffee for several swallows!

We were there in July & still had paper plates so this is GREAT!!!

I’m glad to see this from a environmental standpoint but it also makes me nervous in regards to whether the dishes are washed properly prior to being put away. I guess they give dish soap so I could do a preliminary wash.

The resort has restaurants, therefore certainly has commercial dishwashers. Housekeeping simply has to remove the used dishes and replace with clean ones between guests.

One of the reasons/excuses given for having paper cups and plates in studios at SSR was that there were no dishwashers in the various buildings, so no way for Housekeeping to clean those items between guests. That's what Disney said, anyway.

Sadly VGF has paper (checked in today) - All I need is two good coffee mugs - I can deal with the rest

Last visit in April at BLT, I called and got mugs from housekeeping. I tried to order some with my walmart order but they were out ????...maybe everyone staying in a studio is ordering mugs.

We bring our reusable mugs from Dreams Unlimited cruise gift bag. I like them very much!

They did put them in the BPK resort studios so maybe they will be slowly getting them back into the studios!!!

We’ve stayed at Riviera quite a few times and always had paper and plastic cutlery and plates; however, we also found our studio kitchen stocked with the same setup as shown in the photo. The bowls are amazing! Perfect size.

Yes, I actually brought bowls from home, and didn’t need them!

This is great! I usually have to call housekeeping first thing to have "real" plates, mugs, and silverware delivered.

I stayed in a standard studio at Riviera last night and it had paper plates and cups.

Same here. I was in one the week before Labor day and everything was still disposable.

When I was there last week, everything in our Studio was paper. I had to call the front desk and request mugs. Doesn't bother me either way, but I do want my morning coffee in a mug!

I wonder if someone carried the dishes over from the one-bedroom when they booked a lockoff. Or someone called and specifically requested real dishes and housekeeping left them there for the next reservation. I get the feeling this isn't common or expected.

Same here! Last time I went to Dollar Tree just before my trip and bought a plain white mug. At the end of my stay, I just left it there, for the next person at my BCV studio who needs a real coffee mug.
For people who use Owners Lockers, might want to keep a couple mugs in there.
