No Mugs or Glassware in Studios

[RoseGold]

I don’t use them in any hotel room. Gross. I like the paper better.

All kinds of hotels have changed over to paper since COVID.

We have no problem with the paper/plastic products in the Studio. Kinda like it better as they make less noise while I'm getting my balcony coffee and the DW is still sleeping. And if it helps the room be cleaned/ready sooner, then I'm all for it. Just have to remember that in 50 yrs, it just won't matter anymore; so enjoy what you have while you cane

Eh, I guess. Not something I would get worked up over, as long as I can get it with a simple request, but that's me. I get it's not quite as nice as having it already there.

Really the issue is this is something that Disney has been trying to take away for years. Again, based on the home away from home model, even in the studios, they were trying to keep some semblance of this model in the beginning. Now, they had opportunity to remove them without hearing from the members.

No, that doesnt get you into your room any faster. In fact we did not get into our room until after 7:00p.

I guess I just don't view making it by request the same as taking it away. I realize I'm probably in the minority on this view.

I definitely share the frustration with them slowly chipping away at things they used to provide automatically, charging for things that used to be free, etc.

I get the temptation to put disposables in studios, especially during recent times. But, I was looking at my contract last night and saw that the villas are supposed to have nearly equal or better furnishings, appliances, and equipment as the original models and plans. Seems to me that they should continue to provide 'real' dishes.

It's a call that shouldn't have to be made.

We can't have straws anymore because of the waste they contribute to but throw away drinkware is perfectly acceptable? (Yes, I know v the straws were the cause of the moment)

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

I have requested more and had no issues. Given the current situation, I can understand why they changed it because there is no dishwasher, and probably could not take a chance to leave them assuming unused, so this way, one less thing to worry about.

Let's be real about this. Eliminating Glass and ceramic drinkeware isn't protecting the guest. There are many items in a room that are much more problematic.

Except, with how many precautions they have taken, I can understand the move right now.

Its like the pack and play. It’s gone but there the asking. If people would like real, they are available.

Honestly, I asked for those disposable ones when I stayed in the 1 bedrooms recently because we didn’t want to use real. And they brought us some.

Just don’t see this as a big deal.

I get it, and I get that plenty of people are super worked up over it. I’m just not one of them. Life’s too short, but to each their own.

Its a culmination of the elimination by DVC. It may have bigger repercussions in the future other than removing the glassware and mugs. You are just seeing one piece of this process. Kind of let’s say “ the slippery slope”.

That's not a real reason though which is what I'm saying but if people perpetuate it then they use it to justify it.

Yep, it's the line in the sand type thing but I've never been hugely in favor of allowing lines to slowly recede without at least a mention. I'm also hardly the world's most aren't recycler but this is a pretty simple one that only requires them to keep doing what they have for 30 years.

From my conversations with housekeepers they said that things being removed were done for safety (like the pack and play). Now, did I ask specifically about the mugs? Of course not but again, not a huge deal to have them switched out. I can't pretend that it is.

 

[Simba's Mom]

Will they bring mugs and other glassware if you request it? If so I’m not sure I see what the big deal is?

If they come right away, it's probably not a big deal. However, I've waited up to an hour for them to show up with a requested item, meanwhile delaying my planned shower and thus, getting a delayed start to the day. Next time I called again, but it didn't get them there any faster. And I didn't go to the front desk because I was solo and didn't want to leave in case they DID show up. Maybe I have bad luck, but it seems they never show up to my villa promptly.

Agree!

I actually prefer the paper cups. I like to sip my coffee on the way to the bus/boat stop, or as I walk to the park.

Like you, I can't recall any hotel room that has anything but disposable cups.

I don't mind the ceramic mugs in the villas with a dishwasher.

IMO, this discussion is a "tempest in a tea pot". YMMV.

Ok I need to look that up LOL….

Mugs and Glassware are fine, but kids oftentimes put them back into the cupboard dirty. Guests should make sure that their kids lick them clean before putting them back.
