No, not better. Not even the same as...since until recently we had to pay for extra towels, soap and coffee. But we knew that going in. Don't expect to save a bundle over cash accommodations without some compromises. How many timeshares have ever claimed to be "better" than comparable cash stays? If they do, they are lying. The purpose of a timeshare, any timeshare, is to save money. long term, on accommodations...and generally it applies to returning to the same place year after year.But you pay your dues for an experience that is to be better than hotels, as you are Owners: does this make any sense?

In cash accommodations, those service costs are simply hidden as part of the room rate.
In case you haven't heard, we get free towels, coffee and -- in larger units-- Laundry soap upon request, according to the member website.I can't understand the "free" extra towels and such but no pen and paper. One room asking for armful of towels a couple of times cost the same about 100 pens and paper.

Well my stay at the Marriott's Marbella Resort: (did I mention it had daily housekeeping) was one of the best resorts I have stayed in. It was reported to be among the best Timeshare resorts in the world. Both Marriotts I have stayed in (including one in Orlando), are far better than anything i have seen at Disney (excluding AKL). There are two (US) Four Seasons timeshare properties, too which would beat Disney.
Total geezer here, but I have no idea how to take notes on my phone. I love the pen/notepad to jot down reminders, grocery lists, room number etc. I've always brought my own lotion so that doesn't bug me too much.Just like most people use their phone instead of an alarm clock, people use their phones to take notes now too. And most people are brand loyalists with body lotion and try to have it even while away from home.
Plenty of guests don't really use these items and instead take them as cute souvenirs. That makes WDW afraid they won't spend their absolute maximum budget on souvenirs and that's a big NO NO in pencil pusher land. They want every last dollar of guest spending.

I don’t want to be fumbling in the dark for my phone.
