This is exactly what I believe will happen, not eliminating them but, they are not going to be cleaned well or kept up with and I will be reading a bunch of posts about how nasty the bottles were in their rooms shower. Mousekeeping will have to wipe down each bottle and especially the ledge they are sitting on, and I do not see that happening.Someone posted earlier about the not even having to provide toiletries. I worked at a resort where we switched over to the wall mounts and when the upkeep on them became too much (breakage, leakage, becoming unsightly as they didn't get cleaned well) they eliminated toiletries all together. Hope this does not happen here.
I'm not sure about something: to those who think soap dispensers will get messy over time, what do you use to clean your bath?
To me, soap is already effective at cleaning, by breaking oil-water bonds. Using disinfectants on all surfaces would only strenghtens the most resistant bacteries and germs, wouldn't it?
Other peoples hair etc. Do I need to say any more.I'm not sure about something: to those who think soap dispensers will get messy over time, what do you use to clean your bath?

Common sense tells you they will not leave bottles in there for a year. Look at the set up again. The bottles can be replaced. They will not be as much waste as the travel size bottles are.There is no way the entire contents of each bottle will completely turn over -- those are going to be filled with caked-on, bacteria-laden ancient year-old conditioner remnants. The lids will be embedded with mold. There will be no way to completely clean them all the way around - especially given Disney's understaffed housekeeper situation. Even if you bring your own shampoo and conditioner, I would be horrified to brush up against one of those in my shower. I cannot overstate how much this skeeves me.
And the other boutique hotels that do this? What are they? Cheap too?Just another way for Disney to be cheap and claim they're doing it to be environmentally friendly.

I wonder if it has something to do with the option to forgo housekeeping for your stay? My hair is long enough that those little bottles don't last long. If I decided to take them up on the no housekeeping offer, I would still be calling every couple days asking for more tiny bottles. This way, there will be plenty even if you're staying for an extended amount of time.
With the amount of guests that thought it was okay to take the decorative pillows and bed runners home as souvenirs, I wouldn't be surprised if 20% is low.
Most of the designs I've seen consist of some kind of sealed packaging that goes inside the larger bottle, fixed on the wall.
I'm not even sure other models exist, would you really imagine housekeeping traveling around with 100 lbs tanks?
Hands that are washed in public then rewashed when returning to room are one thing. Eyes, lips and private areas washed with communal dispensers are a whole differant thing. Yuck. Not for me.
