Slowly but surely, Disney’s beloved H2O+ products are disappearing from hotel rooms across the resorts, making way for exciting new changes. While magical perks of staying on-site at a Disney resort only amplify the experience, the latest update involves a significant change to the iconic toiletries that have been part of the Disney experience for years.
Staying at a Disney property like Grand Floridian Resort or Animal Kingdom Lodge comes with many perks, from Early Theme Park Entry to Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. But beyond these attractions, the details truly make a Disney hotel feel like a second home. The familiar sea salt scent of H2O+ products in the shower has been a long-standing feature for many Disney enthusiasts.
For over 15 years, Disney partnered with H2O+ to provide guests with a signature sea salt-scented line of body washes and hair care products. However, the beloved brand announced its closure in August 2022. As a temporary solution, Disney acquired the rights to the H2O+ formula, rebranding it for use in its hotels. Yet, a recent visit to Hong Kong Disneyland revealed a shift.
Hong Kong Disneyland has now partnered with Rituals Cosmetics for its toiletries, which won’t utilize the old H2O+ formula. Starting August 20th, guests at Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, Disney Explorers Lodge, and Disney’s Hollywood Hotel will enjoy a luxurious new range of products from Rituals Cosmetics.
Michael Moriarty, Managing Director of Hong Kong Disneyland, expressed excitement for this new chapter, emphasizing how this partnership aims to elevate guest experiences. While American Disney resorts show no signs of moving away from the H2O+ scent, travelers to Hong Kong Disneyland may want to set aside their sea salt-scented nostalgia for now.
