Now charging for laundry soap & dish soap?

Cottonelles are the answer. We pack them every trip in lieu of packing a bidet toilet seat. We used less than three rolls of TP our entire two weeks at Sheraton Broadway.

No applause please.....

If you used both sides, you could have gotten it down to less than 2 rolls.

Or 1 roll if you separated the roll into a single ply?

Isn't MVC/Vistana considered a more luxurious brand of timeshare? Granted it is not Four Seasons or the Ritz. It is not so much $15, but the nickle and diming which makes it a 1 star resort. Worldmark gives me as many washing detergent boxes and dishwasher pods as I want.

So... my SVR 2BR L/O which is about 1800 sq ft costs $1,520 in MF, while my MGV 2BR L/O about 1,200 sq ft costs $1,890 in MF. Both are in Orlando. It is truly mind boggling that. I can only imagine that MVC has alot more highly paid staff than Vistana.

You don't need a seat, you can get a travel bidet which is just a bottle with a nozzle on the end. Much better than even wipes and you can dry off with a dry wash cloth. Too much information probably.

At the end of the resort year will the HOA, report to the owners how much revenue were received from this project?

Sounds like a great question for someone to ask at the annual HOA meeting.

Do they even make the boxes of dishwashing detergent anymore? I have been buying pods for a long time. I don't understand how that plastic melts in the dishwasher. It seems like plastic, then poof!, it disappears.

Yes. That's what we use. Took some convincing to get wife to give up liquid. Same with laundry (my latest conversion). While there are minor chemical differences, the main deal is companies would much rather sell you mostly water, conveniently packaged, at a much higher price. Plus the plastic jug is just more plastic trash and powder detergent comes in a cardboard box so biodegradable it may start to degrade before it's empty (personal experience).

This here post reminded me of the HH / South Carolina resorts charging extra for supplies.

What do you look for when you first settle in?

I got to thinking about a few posts lately. When we first enter our villa, I do a cursory check for supplies. This time, I find there is no dish soap and no scrub pad for dishes. Is this intentional? I doubt it but I will find out in the morning. I sure hope I don't find this is something I...

This topic sort of flatlined since July. Are these South Carolina resorts still doing the penny pinching on supplies?

According to MGO, the trial was a dud and has ended and everything is back to normal. If you need more, ask and you shall receive…free of charge.
