Resorts getting rid of comforters

[wdwfan1]

We keep ours in our Owners Locker. Love our locker.

 

[DVC Sue]

Are the comforters available upon request?

Have a Question? We were at Aulani when they first opened. Loved it. They had Hawai'n Quilts on the beds, they where beautiful, with hidden Mickey's. I wanted to buy one but they were not selling them at that time. I still would like to purchase one. Have they removed these quilts from Aulani?

I saw the quilt for sale on the disney store website a few days ago if you're interested.

I don't think they're removing them from Aulani though.

If you're asking about actual comforters, such as down comforters, I don't think DVC resorts at WDW have ever had them. (The name of this topic is misleading.) So the answer would be no. You can, however, request additional blankets.

If you're asking about the old bedspreads that have been phased out, I don't know if there are still any of them left at DVC resorts at WDW. I would doubt it, but perhaps they kept some for guests who request them.

You all are way too tough on DVC. Disney has taken note of disboards, for once.

Witness this, perhaps the greatest thread of all time:

I'm glad to see that Disney is phasing out the bedspreads. They are really nasty and unsanitary. In the past, simply removing the bedspread didn't solve the problem since it left the unwashed blanket that one had to touch.

For years I have carried my own comforter when staying at hotels where I might be exposed to a dirty bedspread or blanket, including trips to WDW. If flying to Disney I would take an extra set of sheets and triple-sheet the bed.

Triple sheeting is not as good as a duvet, but it is cheaper for the hotel, since it takes time to stuff the duvet.

Since many people are complaining about not being warm enough, I will likely continue to bring my comforter if traveling by car or van. And if visiting Disney I will likely bring a fitted sheet as well. I don't enjoy it when my sheets come off the bed.

Thanks, have checked it out and at $200 I will be buying one.

When I was at Aulani I had talked to the Manager and asked the cost, he said they were not for sale at that time. Again I asked what he was going to charge me, we went this way several times tell he got what I was saying and started laughing. I told him I was at least honest, he assured me they would be for sale in the future and please wait. I told him I would.

There may be a 10% discount - DVC used to get it, and maybe the Disney Visa card.

Stayed at Jambo studio 12/26-30th and comforters still there.

Same for WLV stay studio 1/4-5th

The blankets will not be washed any more often now with triple sheeting than they were with bedspreads.

That's true, but with a sheet laid all the way across the top of the dirty blanket you don't have to touch it. When the blanket is just on top of the bed you can't help put have your arms on it while you sleep and it inevitably ends up around my face. I don't like that!

 

[Buckalew11]

Just the scarf at BLT and BCV. At first I was like what the heck? They cut up the bedspreads? lol But I really liked the idea.

I was there for probably the best week of FL weather this January so I did not need any extra blankets.

Lucky!
It was freezing around jan 3, about 45 degrees

We had never heard about, seen or used triple sheeting before this current trip. As soon as we saw it both my husband and myself said "oh we're going to freeze at night!"

However, the verdict is in for us...we LOVE the bedding! Odd textured things against my skin especially all night often resulted in rashes for me. The blanket now however is encased in pretty decent quality sheets and it STAYS there sandwiched between the sheets!
We no longer wake up here to a bedspread or blanket that has slid to the floor over night.
The current set up is, to our great surprise, plenty warm and there is a nice weight to it. We sleep under fairly weighty blankets and quilts at home so you know this is very different for us.

I must say also seems cleaner with no stray strangers hair tangled in the blanket only to be drawn slowly out of the depths of the blanket as you cringe.

This is NICE! It doesn't particularly match the room but in this case we could care less.

Just returned from AKV still 1 sheet, blanket and bedspread

Before this thread, I never realized that anyone kept the unwashed bedspreads on their beds at night when sleeping. I can't imagine pulling such a bedspread up to my face.

I assumed that everyone folded them up and put them on a chair (or balled them up and threw them on the floor) at night, given that the bedspreads are designed to be decorative, not to provide warmth or comfort.

You might be referring to me. Lol I can explain! I was actually talking about getting itchy rashy from the blanket underneath. They would be in varying textures but they all tickled my skin. Lol
The way they're doing it now the blanket in between the sheets I can use it and I'm not having any issues at all.
I can understand people leaving it on the bed though if you want the added warmth or the weight and you use it on the bed at night back home.

Millions and millions of people have stayed at WDW resorts since 1971 with those "evil", "disease-laden" bedspreads. How many guests have died as a result?

What's next - Are we going to do away with real silverware at all TS locations just because some people can't get their arms around the fact that tens of thousands of other people before them have put that same fork in their mouth, and maybe... just maybe... it wasn't washed thoroughly from the previous use? Sounds plausible... plastic silverware it is. And who knows what has happened on those toilets... maybe DVC should provide a shovel in every room so we can go out in the woods.... well, you get the idea. I know that's a bit of a stretch, but really... where do we draw the line in this perpetual "sissification" of America?

Look, I'm actually for this change, but not for the germ-o-phobe point of view. Quite simply, I just sleep "hot" and would prefer a bed sans the spread. But if I'm understanding this triple-sheeting business correctly, we are still going to be left with a blanket that has been washed with no more frequency than the recently-discarded bedspread. So I must ask a dumb question... what's the difference? You are still left with a critical layer of unwashed bedding that is mixed in with the clean sheets. Seems like much ado about nothing to me...

In all the times dozens of times I've gone there, I've never once given germs a thought re the bedspread. But then again men are much more dirty than women, we smell more and drool excessively, especially when watching the 7 most exciting rides at Disney, turn our underwear inside out the 2nd day, wear the same t-shirt over and over again when in the parks and just throw our dirty clothes back on the bedspread when changing.. Have no idea why more people have not come down with the norovirus yet...
