Cincimouse reported in this thread (http://www.mouseowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16254) that permits had been filed to install glass washers at OKW and SSR. Well, now DVC has gone public and reported the return of glassware in the news section of the members' website.

Hilton Head and Vero Beach get their glass washers by Oct. 1, and SSR and OKW get theirs by Nov. 1. Look for glassware to make a triumphant return soon thereafter.

From the Members' Website:

Glassware will return to studio accommodations

This spring, DVCMember.com reported that, as part of a continuous review of cleaning practices in Disney Resort hotels, leaders determined that hand washing dishware and glassware in Disney Vacation Club studio units wasn't sufficient to meet the company's cleanliness standards.

As a result, studio accommodations at Disney Vacation Club Resorts in which glass-washing equipment is available began washing glassware and ceramic mugs in the glass washers, while stand-alone Disney Vacation Club Resorts switched to disposable cups (since glass washers aren't available at those resorts).

Disney Vacation Club leaders investigated the possibility of installing glass washers at specified locations within the stand-alone properties, and DVCMember.com is pleased to report that Disney Vacation Club will begin installing glass washers at those properties this fall.

Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort and Disney's Vero Beach Resort are scheduled to have glass washers installed by Oct. 1, with installation concluding at Disney's Old Key West Resort and Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa by Nov. 1. The glassware is, in turn, scheduled to return to the studio accommodations at these resorts once the equipment is installed.

Oops! We're staying at both resorts in October, LEAVING on the 31st.....

So if we want glassware we'll have to request it from housekeeping? What a bother. Maybe we'll just bring our own. :sosad:

Glad they're getting this done. I'll be heading to SSR in December. It will be nice to have glassware again.

Darn - I much prefer the paper/foam cups! The mugs are sometimes too small, and who wants to be washing glasses & mugs in a studio anyway?

I've heard too much of dirty glasses and will never use them. Can plastic be requested? What about to take to the pool?

Whenever cold and flu season arrives... we buy one of those Dixie sanitary cups... and we all drink out of it. ;)
