Lack of Luxury - WDW TP

[kilik64]

As evidenced by the myriad of opinions just in this small group, if you care deeply about your tp, bring your own. Not like a roll or three takes up a lot of luggage space if flying and if driving you have zero excuse not to bring your own preference.

If you truly don’t care, just use the crap Disney supplies…

I've had better quality toilet paper in restrooms in third world counties. Disney's ability to convince people they are a luxury (or even middle class) brand while having huge margins and substandard amenities and service (including scale on showerheads and toilet paper that is more suitable for using as craft projects than touching tender areas of the body - but also long hold times, long lines, horrible sheets, marginal food at high prices, etc.) is the envy of the corporate world. Its one of the reasons we use points at HHI.

I still like the Disney Experience, but there is a lot of truth in what you write.
Sometimes I think I suffer a bit of Stockholm syndrome with Disney.

Very common with lifestyle brands. First step is admitting it.

As a Brit we’re told not to bring our TP as the drains can’t cope with our thicker TP.

Good ol’ Victorian sewer systems.

Seriously though, I have never heard this. Nor have I ever thought to take my own bog roll to WDW!

We need the old sponges back.

A roll or three..??
My wife goes through that in a day.

Complaining about single ply TP is such a first world problem...

If I was looking for true luxury, I'd expect Disney to outfit my room with a Toto Washlet G5 toilet. The one with the heated seat, self opening and closing, a lighted bowl, automatic air deodorizer, and with a remote control to adjust the wash intensity, pattern, and temperature. Assuming 31k toilets in DVC rooms, and assuming a slight discount from Toto, it would cost Disney only about $93M to replace the current unremarkable toilets with G5's. But, the accolades, press, and DVC purchases that would be generated by such an event would more than compensate DVC for such a move.

I kind of wonder if it is because they worry people “steal” the toilet paper. They never give us enough and they begrudgingly give us more when we ask. Like they will give us one more. Last time we were at beach club I had to call them again and say we have 2 bathrooms. Are we supposed to run this roll from one bathroom to the next? Then they brought us two rolls. So generous.

We don't need to be told that timeshare critiques are a first world problem, that goes without saying. Unless you're complaining about the malaria-infected mosquitoes that bit you yesterday or the dysentery your daughter has, everything in your life is a first-world problem.

And I have no idea what that second part of your post was rambling on about. Care to clarify?

I'm sure a significant number of guests leave with rolls of toilet paper, paper towels, packets of coffee, you name it.

But all that stuff is junk.

 

[MyDogTink]

Now, I can't stand the paper towels. I pack a roll of upgraded ones in my car.

I can’t deal with the paper towels. Toilet paper doesn’t bother me as much as the paper towels.

Yes! The paper towels suck too. But what on earth are you using them for that it bothers you more than the TP!?

Even on vacation, I’m in the kitchen or eating area cleaning up after my family!

You don't use the dish rags they provide?

 

[Cfabar1]

Personally I think the bigger issue is the mattress.... I'd bring my own, but I don't know how I could get it in and out of the unit easily...

Ive never done that

I got a blue sponge from Aulani

 

[Spivey378]

This is why I will start storing my Toto Washlet+ bidet in my Owners Locker.

 

[Fijiism]

It's everywhere. Every hotel/attraction/restaurant/rest area/etc that I've been to now has this same 1 ply, melts-when-it-touches-liquid super thin stuff. The best part of any trip is getting back home to my nice toilet paper.
