Not yet.Any rumors on dining packages?
Not yet.
I'll start by saying that I know nothing about this industry.
I always thought that common items that get stolen from hotel rooms (robes, towels, bed runners, maybe pillows?) had their cost built into the price of the room to avoid all of this? If a lamp gets broken, then an extra charge happens. But for "little" things, I figured it was just a part of the price.
Granted I don't know how much each item would cost. And I don't have any source on this, just something I always assumed was a type of thief defense mechanism.
Never stayed at Pop so not sure if there was glass before, but I love it. I'm always getting attacked by the shower curtains at WDW!!Friends just checked into Pop Century and got a refurbed room. I haven't seen anyone post a picture of the shower yet.
Keep me posted. My only chance to see it is opening night talk about a mess.
I have been in the industry in the Upper Upscale and Luxury market of hotels for the last 13 years.....There is no cost for stolen items built into the price of the room. Also if stealing Robes, Towels, and Pillows was common that would be a major issue.
Also I will back the other comment about Disputes and Charge backs....it is almost impossible for the hotel to "win".
Talespin owns my heart.
"What a mess" is an understatement. These events at WDW are crazy, at DLR they are beyond insane. Literally they will likely be closing the park by 10 AM and people will be standing around from noon to get the best position to see the show. (Except they will probably make people get FP+, but still people will try and stake spots in "line". Ugh what a mess...I wouldn't want to be there.

Does anyone know where to find these Classic Mickey Cartoons that they play in the resorts? We love them but haven't been able to find them anywhere else.So 2 things... 1- I know some drag queens who look like Mrs. Beakley, and 2 - Not sure how I feel about the female vocalist. Her voice sounds kinda ... I dunno? Weak? Way too quiet?
I wonder if it'll be getting a channel at WDW like the Mickey Mouse cartoons have.
Nice off kilter avatar!Nice to see that I'm not the only one who thinks the new room look is sterile
I used to work in hotels. One of my jobs was in Accounting where I handled credit card chargebacks. While it makes sense to charge guests who steal things, the reality is that it's an uphill battle. Chances are high that the charge will be disputed. Disputed charges of this nature are tough to "win" for a hotel. Although it may have changed, different card providers will respond differently. For example, American Express would almost always side with the customer unless we had definitive proof that the charge was valid.
Consider how easy it would be to accidentally charge the wrong guest for a stolen item. One small error by a Housekeeping staff member is all it takes for that to happen.
For Disney, eliminating something like bed runners is a smart decision. The number of people who decide that the lack of a bed runner is a reason to stay offsite will be infinitesimally small. Contrast that with potential ill will (that could get magnified via social media) that charging the wrong guest would create.

It's not the classic cartoons, it's the newer Mickey Mouse shorts. Which my family and I love, but I do wish they had both! I forget the channel number, but it's Mickey shorts all day, with Duffy's bedtime story for several hours in the evening.
A lot of them are on YouTube.Does anyone know where to find these Classic Mickey Cartoons that they play in the resorts? We love them but haven't been able to find them anywhere else.

ETA: I'm sorry, my bad. They're actually called "A Mickey Mouse Cartoon". Unfortunately, this generic sounding title makes them even harder to find.
