Toiletry Dispensers Being Installed at Disney’s Pop Century Resort

[hotblooded]

I opt out of housekeeping, so this is good news for me. I’ll miss the souvenir bottles (which were gorgeous at Pop this January) but I can’t argue with such a large reduction in plastic consumption.

What?! This is awful! Just wait until they add RFID technology like they do for Mickey sodas and limit the amount of pumps your allowed per day! TYRANTS!!!

 

[Betty Rohrer]

We will bring our own toiletries to use.
No using something which is not individually packaged

from what you said I assume you carry your own soap when using a restroom while out. it is the same

Don't give them ideas

Are they still providing lotion? I'm assuming they are still in the little bottles?TIA

I haven't received lotion at the value or moderate resort level in a while, only deluxe, can anyone else confirm the same, or am I just unlucky?

Only shampoo, conditioner, bath bar and facial bar at values.

A lot are sensor soap dispensers now or nothing to touch. Also the ones that attach to the wall would have less chance of someone touching thr actual dispenser nose than the pump style on the sink. But I care wet ones with me everywhere especially on vacation so if I have a worry I use those.

We always stay at the mod's and always get lotions.

We used to but certainly didn't at any of the mods we stayed in 2017.

Maybe they missed them? We always stayed at POR and never had a problem with getting all of these. Probably just a housekeeper missed, not that they do that

No lotion at values.

I am sure plenty of people will be filling their own bottles to take home.

Not if they are contaminated with microbes inside the bottles I really hope this isn’t going to be resort wide. I can’t imagine checking into GF and having a Motel 6 soap bar in the shower.

I can't imagine they would use these at deluxe resorts but you never know. However, I think they are going to be very surprised with how much product they go through. I really believe people will start bringing bottles to fill up and take home.

I wouldn’t having just read an article on how microbes can enter pump bottles, yuck. But I can see people doing this too. Lol.

The brand Wet Ones does contain the ingredient that kills viruses including Norovirus. Hand sanitizers do not. I use Wet Ones at Disney all the time.

I have been using the new system for a few days as I was the first one to have access to it. I like the new body wash. My main concern is that someone will contaminate the contents, so once this trip is over, I will be bringing my own toiletries. Personally I don’t think it will be long before people figure out how to undo the lock and either take the bottles outright or put something like Nair in the conditioner bottle “ just for fun”.

I have heard that many hotels, including Hiltons, are going to this so they can claim to be more environmentally friendly. I am glad I don’t fly, so I can pack full size toiletries.

I did like that there is a window on the edge of the bottles so you can see if they are getting empty.

Some higher-end and boutique hotels in the real world are going to this model to be "greener", so I don't think Disney will shy away from rolling it out at the deluxe level if this test goes well and doesn't reveal any serious issues with durability, upkeep, etc.

I've noticed this in quite a few hotels I've stayed at in the past few years. I admit I never really understood why hotels just gave away small bottles of toiletries when this type of dispense is more sustainable. Especially in Disney's case, with a lot of long-stay guests and families, it makes much more sense than tiny bottles that need to be replaced. One of the hotels I stay at in upstate NY even has their own special shampoo/conditioner/lotion created specifically for them that you can then buy in large quantities to take home.

 

[HopperFan]

It will be interesting to see how it goes.

Disney had dispensers in values before and they were usually quite gross .... so they pulled them.

Now at least these bottles can be "thrown" away.

I will be there next week and have already packed my own.

Regardless it's going to save disney money at this point since most people will be bringing their own. I never cared for the shampoo and conditioner to begin with so it's a non issue
