I agree. Bathing kids will be very annoying. But even without kids, getting in and out of the tub and have your feet accidentally brush against the metal door tracks will also be awful. And the tracks must be kept clean of hair, dirt, garbage! Not to mention the doors themselves must be scrubbed clean on both sides! Shower curtains, you can just throw them in the wash. I can understand all the other changes of the new rooms even if I might not like them for my family -- the bigger beds, the hard floor, the multiple cubbyhole space, the coffee maker, the space under the beds. But the shower doors does nothing. It doesn't provide more space or make things easier to clean. I have stayed at 7 different Disney resorts, from value to deluxe, and nobody has shower doors! NOBODY!!! Do the Pop Century designers really think they are the first ones to consider shower doors because the other resorts' designers just couldn't think of it?
I don't believe they are using shower doors because people steal curtains. Who the heck wants a hotel shower curtain? What do you do with an extra shower curtain? And if you are going to steal, why not steal the new coffee maker? That's far more useful and is worth more. Or the artwork on the wall, which is worth even more. or the pillows or bedsheets or lightbulbs or that panel with 3 Mickeys on it!
Last fall I was at Pop. I bathed my baby by sitting on the edge of the tub while watching the baby in the tub. The tub has a wide, smooth edge, very nice for sitting, and the room doesn't have a stool I can use to sit next to the tub. Now I can't do that anymore, plus there's the shower door blocking half the access to the tub! Ugh! And when I get the baby in or out, I must lift him extra high so that his legs don't drag across the metal tracks. Ugh!
