Who is going into the park and straight into the DVC lounge?

Some of us need that caffeine hit to keep dad (me) happy and it's 99% of the time way faster (and easier on the wallet) to get an Americano at the lounge in Tomorrowland vs the Starbucks on Main Street

Fair enough!

I always get Starbucks. I learned yesterday that I really like Joffreys coffee when it not made in the room.

This may be blasphemy since I am from Seattle, but I really hate Starbucks. I was a Seattles Best Coffee (SBC) fan for the longest. Now I just dip the grounds . (ok I wish I could do that!)

Ok, I feel like Rocket getting mad and kicking something. I just had to pull some data together and see how these walking distances and times mapped out.

Had some available time today and worked out via Google Earth (distances) and average walking times (AI: average 308 feet per minute). Starting points are tricky. In general, it's from the hotel front lobby area unless of course your Boardwalk or Beach Club and exit through the back of the resort. For VGC I started at the DVC wing which is basically walking through the VGC lobby and then turning towards the resort entrance to DCA or exiting in Downtown Disney and heading to Disneyland. Walking distances are tracked along walking paths and available roads (no as the crow flies' distances)

Here's the table. Apologies to the Shanghai Disneyland folks. I'm not familiar with that park and hotels.

So, so, so many gold stars for including measurements in Smoots in this chart.

A comment and a question. Boardwalk hallway ain’t got nothin on the AKV hallway. Per my health app I walked more during a resort day at AKV than I did in 10.5 hours at Animal Kingdom

Now for my question. Does anyone know what lotion, shampoo and body wash is being used at VDH? Is it H2O?

I wondered when someone was going to pick up on that! You win the prize for today!

It’s the same formula as in WDW but much prettier packaging

Can wait to take a closer look when I get back home!

They have the travel tubes of H2O lotion here. I was surprised to see them.

For VGC you can use the Pixar place entrance to get in to DCA (in fact at the moment, you have to)… it’s literally right outside of the DVC wing using the door to the patio area.

I was wondering about that. Thanks for sharing.

I seem to recall VDH having the locked economy containers mounted on the wall. No individual tubes. Unless you’re my wife who brings a little empty tube!

Yeah they are the refillable ones at VDH. I was curious if anyone knew if it still H2O or something else.

I ask because I have always gotten a “Disney rash”, except my last few trips to DL where we stayed at VDH. Here at WDW and I got the rash again. And since they have the old school H20 lotion in the travel tubes and I used it, Im wondering if I’m allergic.

It took 2-3 trips before I realized I’m sensitive to the H2O products. You may be, too.

Disney rash doesn't sound like a marketable side effect

Hopefully it's just the lotion?

I am really thinking that could be it.
