Did anyone see that H2O+ is retiring the brand this year? Is this new news? I love the H2O+ I wonder what this means for Disney.

Oh man, I love that stuff. I would always snag a bottle to take home on my stays. They do sell it, but it is quite expensive! It smells so nice though. I wonder what Disney will change to - probably something way cheaper knowing them these days.

Resort Guest Early Entry Shifts to 60 Minutes Before Park Open on September 8th

Disney has just announced its plans to celebrate Disney+ Day in the Disney theme parks, and as part of the celebration, Disney+ subscribers will be able to enter the Disney World theme parks 30 minutes before park open. In order to make good on the promise of the Resort Guest Early Entry perk, Disney is shifting Early Entry for Resort Guests to 60 minutes before park opening on September 8th only.

Here’s how it breaks down:

• Disney+ subscribers – 30 minute Early Entry on September 8th
• All Disney World Resort Guests – 60 minute Early Entry on September 8th

Remember, this shift is only for September 8th and the celebration of Disney+ Day. Operations return to normal on September 9th.

I’m not sure how good a perk it will be to enter MK early on this day since it’s already crazy crowded at early entry into the Fantasy Land area with just the current resort guests eligible. There are only a few rides even open until 9:00 am.

Disney Parks Announce Disney+ Day Offerings

How do they know which guests have Disney+ when they enter the park...not like we have a membership card or anything to prove it??? I checked and it doesnt show up on MDE and my resort reservation was made with the Disney Visa card since it was a better deal.

It shows under my profile > memberships on MDE for me. Probably tied to email.

Yes, they know. I just booked the D+ Subscribers room discount and it was offered automatically to me through my Disney login, which is the same for D+, etc. It's all connected.

Thanks! I'd completely put D+ day out of my head since I didn't think we'd be there and forgot it was happening that day , but just now realized we have a reservation for 9/8 since we're now arriving a day early.

Interesting that they have changed the Disney+ day date. Last year it was in November when we were there!

I’m hoping that maybe Disney is buying out the rights & names to the products they use? But that’s doubtful. I love the products, I buy them every now and then to have a bit of a Disney vacation at home. I really hope they cheap out here too at the resorts.

Thanks...I just went into my profile and I see it is listed along with my AP and Disney Visa.

After 30+ amazing years of innovation, we have made the very difficult decision to
retire the brand at the end of the year.

I just checked Amazon and bought the body wash but I don’t see any discounts it was actually more than I paid before and the tube went from 12oz to 8 oz!

Why can't they make this permanent??!!

Agreed. Universal's 1 hour early entry makes WDW's 30 minutes seem like nothing. My guess is because they don't have enough staff for the extra 30 minutes but who knows.

i'm in the minority here, but my hubby and i really dislike the H2O products. we bring our own stuff. i don't like the smell and the shampoo and conditioner make my hair feel like straw. still sad its retiring cuz i know a lot of people really like it.

So... how will they get soap now? Or is this Chapek's convenient way to cut more costs
