I don't have a problem with this. Every National Park we've stayed in, and every cottage in Alaska we stayed in, had the larger wall-mounted dispensers. I think it was part of the green initiative. I'll admit that I'll kind of miss the little trial sizes-I volunteer at the local Hospital's Ronald McDonald Family Room, and I used to always bring back the extra little trial sizes for the parents to use when they shower (surprisingly, lots do). However, I support this change.

I think it's entertaining that all the disney news sites have picked up on this as though it's a major announcement.
It's just soap, shampoo and conditioner. We always bring our own anyway. The travel sized items stocked in the rooms usually come home to be donated to the Christmas kits the local scouts make for the homeless.

I really hope they don't put these things in the DVC units. They may be OK in a gym shower but they don't belong in a "deluxe" accomadation. If they aren't cleaned properly - a real possibility - they get gross.

Green or cheap? I find this as another way for Disney to cut costs and decrease quality while not lowering the cost of a hotel room. I would be very concerned about sanitation. This seems very cheesy to me. Even "cheap" hotels provide individual soaps and shampoos. Disney's hotels are supposed to be a cut above Motel 6 style hotels, even Disney's value hotels, but lately it seems like they are falling below "Motel 6". First they remove the comforters and replace them with thin blankets and an addition "topper" sheet and now they want to take away soaps and shampoos. Disney's quality is decreasing quickly.

We have encountered this dispensing system on cruise ships and at hotels. On most of cruise ships I thought was a pain because the shower area was so small that you often hit the dispenser system while showering. At hotels it didn't bother me at all. I do miss taking home the small bottles as we often would use them at home as a treat and reminder of what it was like to be at WDW or Aulani.
We always take showers, but I was wondering how this would work for guests that take baths only. The dispensers are usually waist high on the wall. IMO it would be fall about to happen for bathers. Although for a parent bathing a child it might work out well.
