Last week the image below began bouncing about the internet from Coronado Spring Buzz's Facebook page. From what I gather, Port Orleans Riverside is testing this large format with the H2O+ products.
I'm really torn up about this and wondered what you think about the possibility of moving away from the individual mini bottles.
On one hand, I'm OK with it. This seems like it would not only be a cost saver for Disney, but I would never have to worry about running out or sharing the little bottles while on vacation, and overall it is a much more environmentally friendly move. It would also boost the sales of the shampoo collections in the gift shops because Guests couldn't just take home the minis from their room.
On the other hand I LOVE bringing home my little shampoos and conditioners from vacation! It's one of my favorite things. The cost of those little soaps is figured into what you pay per room night, and unless they plan on cutting the cost per night with this change, it makes me a little grumpy. Also - if Disney goes this route, there is a charity that provides soap and shampoo to the needy that is entirely based around the Orlando hotel industry and this would be a sizable hit to them.
Frankly, I don't stay in a 4 star hotel to get bath products our of dispenser like my local YMCA. It completely changes the "vibe" of the bath experience IMHO.
What do you think?
