When can you request new bedding?

[KPtoys]

I get grossed out by the comforters and other bedding in hotels. Can I request new bedding on my resi or when we check in or when we get into our room?

I've never done this but I'm sure you can ask for it. Disney is usually very accommodating.

Just a tip to keep in mind - we recently bought a king size set of sheets (fitted, regular and pillow cases). We keep them as our travel set and use our own sheets at all hotels. I do it more for comfort than being grossed out. I hate when hotels don't have fitted sheets and you wind up sleeping on the mattress half the night.

So you may want to buy a set for yourself and use it when you travel. It doesn't weigh much or take up much room in a suitcase but it can make for a much better night's sleep.

My husband got the bad bug going around when we were there a couple of weeks ago. I asked for new bedding to help prevent the rest of us getting it. Can't say 100% we got it on all the beds - but we did on the one he was using. We just left a note on the bed and said something to the woman cleaning the room. (She did not speak good english -so we left the note too)

Not a bad idea but we are traveling in January so we need all types of clothes and i am also traveling with 3 kids so the least amount of stuff packed the better!

I didnt know you could do this but it's a GREAT idea... I get super grossed out too.

I'm sure you could ask any time, but I don't understand how the new bedding would be less gross? All the bedding goes through the same laundry. Except the comforters, which I saw on TV rarely get washed (not sure if that's true of Disney). The comforter I get, but I don't understand how the new sheets would be any different?

The sheets I'm OK with, it's just the comforter. ICK!

LOL maybe I can pour a cup of water on it and say DD had an accident, and we need a new one!

I just want a new comforter or any other blankets they put on the beds. I am cool with the clean sheets... but the comforters make me

We always just throw the comforters on the floor in the corner. Who know what's on those things

 

[jenjolt]

I'm going to be driving down and my own quilt will be with me...the sheets I don't mind but I'm going to use my own comforter and then just put it up in the morning when they come to clean the room...at least I will know that I have a clean blanket to use.

I was thinking something like that too!!!!!!!!

You can ask but there is no way to tell if the new comforter you would get would be freshly washed or just from somewhere else. I watched a thing on TV once that stated that hotel comforters were NEVER washed between quests. They went into 4 and 5 star hotels and put black lights over the comforters. Ugh...the body fluids...you have no idea. They went into Days Inn-type hotels and there was no difference. They talked about the Mike Tyson rape trial and said that the comforter in the hotel (which I'm sure was expensive) could not be used in the trial because there were um, samples, from 2 or 3 other males.

I don't know what they do about blankets. I have noticed that I never see blankets on the maid carts, just sheets and towels. I really try not to think about it and I always take comforters off the beds as soon as we get in the room. When I see those Disney planning DVDs with the kids laying on the comforters, I just cringe.

I am so glad that I am not the only one taking my own sheets! My husband and I sleep on flannel sheets year round and I can't sleep on any other kind. I am also taking mattress pads for the beds. (Although, I do it mostly because I AM grossed out. )

When we went in 2000, my daughter actually spilled a drink on one of our beds. I completely stripped the bed and called housekeeping to ask for clean bedding. When we returned to our room that evening, the bed was made up WITH THE DIRTY SHEETS!! So I had to call housekeeping again to have them come and change the sheets at 10pm!!

The upside is that when I complained to the manager, she refunded one night of our stay.

 

[Aggiegrl]

Has anyone asked for extra sheets so that the comforter can be double sheeted? Meaning a sheet below and a sheet on top?

We do too. I used to work for a (very nice, well known) hotel chain and they pretty much NEVER wash the comforters unless they are very obivously solied.... So we never use them!

 

[arielfan]

We checked in at the Allstar Sports on Dec 22. 2008, in my bed was long black hair strands and my hair is short!!!!! I was grossed out!!! I do not want to sleep in anybodies bedding!!!

I will now always check the bedding and if it's nasty I will ask them to change it!!!

 

[connie1042]

I would say the only way you know you are getting clean sheets, is either bring your own, or go throw them in the wash, then sit by the pool and have a drink. Throw the comforters in the dryer. The heat should kill any living bugs.

Okay, I have a question....when you say "comforters", are you talking about the bedspreads or the blankets on the bed??? I'm hoping you are referring to the bedspreads b/c I'd really be disgusted if the blankets weren't changed for each new room occupant! I have to admit that I bring a can of Lysol anytime we travel and spray everything from the beds to the door knobs to the remote controls - my husband thinks I'm insane, but it makes me feel better!!

I think I must've seen the same program. I've never allowed my family NEAR those things...I run to strip them off the second we get in the room. LOL

I have to wonder if the comforters are partly to blame for the nasty bug going around the World.
