I brought them home because I would like to think that there's no way they would ever put them in another room after having been in ours. If they did, that's even worse.

do you by chance know my DSs & grand children? lol

Older pipes/septic systems beg for scotts traditional TP that dissolves quickly.

I spent 30 years as a plumber before semi-retiring.

Is that why your screen name is 'Pooh" ??

Possibly unpopular post ahead. You've been warned...

I've been wanting to make this one for going on 12-15 years now. No pun intended in the subject line... or is there?

Can somebody please explain to me that while our annual dues skyrocket every year, here I sit in Kidani this week in a savannah studio, where we are relegated 1 singular bar of H20 Disney branded soap to share between the shower and the sink, which is really only a half bar by any normal person's standards to begin with; that said bar sells for upwards of $7 in the gift shop just down the hall? It's worth about $0.50 at best.

The shampoo and conditioner? Same thing. Disney branded H2O (Arguably good stuff. I'll give you that.) under lock and key and security screws under penalty of banishment from property should you dare pump either one more than twice. They are probably Bluetooth linked to the front desk.

And yet... AND YET... paper products in the room go to the cheapest and lowest single-ply, non-perforated bidder. Anybody trying to get into the paper business? This is where you come. You can get off the ground here. Just import the cheapest paper towels, tissues, and TOILET PAPER you can buy from whatever third world country you can get it from the cheapest. Double the price in US dollars, and submit your bid. You'll be set for life. Just don't ever come sit on a toilet here.

I'm actually a simple soul. I don't ask for much, but a little acknowledgement that we aren't exactly the lowest forms of life to spend the night on Disney property would be a really nice thing to do. Especially since we pay for it anyway. I shouldn't have to bring my own tissue and toilet paper from home when I come here, and yet I can't tell you how many times I've done just that or left property and picked it up at Target on 192.

I wouldn't put this crap in my mother-in-law's room when she comes to visit, and I don't like her very much at all (Just kidding but you get the emphasis here.). Deluxe my hind parts (See what I did there?). The paper products should be an outright EMBARRASSMENT to DVC. Up your game, Disney... or up your...

Now wash your hands! And don't forget to put the bar of soap back in the shower.

There’s nothing wrong with bringing what’s left around your villa or room home. The problem was the real hoarders (this usually happened in regular hotel rooms that had daily cleaning). They would pack the first set of bottles away day 2, then mousekeeping would replace. Then they’d pack those away, mousekeeping would replace and so on and so forth. Plus the people stashing then calling for more. Everyone brings them home at the end. But there are people who would stash them along the way knowing they’d get replaced every day.

And not to mention people who would grab handfuls when passing by a mousekeeping cart

People talked about this stuff in Disney fan Facebook groups a lot. Pathetic.

And then they would be all philanthropic and donate them to shelters and nursing homes.

Thanks so much for saying that I was sitting here feeling a little guilty because I brought home all the trial size products I got in our Villa But then I would donate them to the Ronald McDonald House, where I volunteer a home next to a hospital where parents can stay while their child is hospitalized I always hoped the Disney products would brighten up someone's day

Yeah but so funny..... This said you should bring your own TP when a pandemic is raging.

You have probably heard this one,. "Hot on the left, cold on the right, poop flows downhill and payday's on thursday..." From a plumber friend of ours.

It’s a bureaucracy. It’s so big they’ve lost sight.

A mighty statement in a few words.

That pretty much tells everything these days, right?

Almost, payday was Friday.

In my youth I went to a few weeks of camp over the years. I did not know that being restricted to 3 pieces of that same single ply TP because 4 or more would leave you in big doo doo from plugged up plumbing was actually prepping me for DVC bathrooms.

Nah, bottom line and bonuses are the reason.

I do not understand this thinking. If you are stealing shampoo from housekeeping, yes, that is a problem. This can still be done with the large bottles. But when you book a night in a hotel, you are paying for a night’s worth of products. (Unless the industry changes, which it seems they are trying to do with cost cutting). If you use the products at the hotel or take them home, who cares? Disney is just trying to appeal to the “carbon” lobby, which is huge, and if they can do it and save costs, bonus for them, literally.

Bless you. 16 year ago my first granddaughter was born with a heart defect and needed open heart surgery when she was 3 days old. My daughter spent 2 months at the Ronald Mcdonald house in Indianapolis by Riley's Hospital. When she checked out they charged her a total of $50. She it 16 years old and I call her the million dollar baby as the first year of life the medical bill totaled just over one million dollars.

What a coincidence! Our association also started with a baby with a heart defect and the RMH Unfortunately, this was over 40 years ago and there was no RMH near our hospital
