BASIN

Basin has a variety of bath and body products that are displayed similar to Lush stores. This shop is located by World of Disney at Disney Springs.
What makes this store worthy of a visit?
–Their products are paraben, alcohol, and mineral oil free if you care about that stuff.
–Bars upon bars of soap are spread throughout the store and have the cutest designs which are exclusive to this store only! Only 4 Basin shops exist — 2 in Orlando, Florida and 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada. There are many different Mickey soaps and Florida-​themed soaps to make a perfect souvenir or gift for bath product lovers! All the other soaps have fun designs that are also available online. Bars go for $ 5.99/100g. Each bar is individually wrapped with the price printed on one side.
–Bath bombs are plentiful in different scents and sizes. Prices depend on size. Large bombs are $ 4.99. Take advantage of the bath bomb barrel deal to fill a tube with bath bombs for $ 20. You can mix and match, as long as the lid closes. It saves like, $ 2, and you have a place to protect your bombs!
–Other products include shampoo/​conditioner bars, bath scrubs, lip stuff, lotions, and bath salts. Everything smells so good!
–A big sink is set up in the middle to sample select products.
I purchased some (maybe a lot) products to try and have used them a few times.
Bath bomb; I tried one bath bomb and my skin really felt extra soft afterwards! The bf agrees! I tried «Mickey» because we went to Disney World and I HAD to. The Mickey bath bombs are blue, pink, white, or yellow filled with Mickey confetti! The difference between the colors are the scents, which staff cannot clarify because the scents aren’t listed. Mickey bombs are medium sized. You can get 3 for $ 11. These are only available in store.
Soap; I tried a bar of a limited edition Valentines Mickey soap. I didn’t notice it do anything positive or negative to my skin after many uses, but I also don’t have sensitive skin.
Shampoo/​conditioner bar; $ 7.99 each. There’s an option for fill a small barrel of 4 shampoo and/​or conditioner bars for $ 25. I’ve used the green «scalp soother» duo 3 times so far. I have thick hair, so I’ve had to apply a lot yet both bars appear untouched! They’re supposed to last for approx 50 washes. I didn’t loooovveeee how my hair turned out after use. My hair seemed drier compared to my holy grail shampoo/​conditioner, but cleaned and moisturized my scalp well for the most part.
Comparing to Lush, the store isn’t as «loud» in terms of décor and colors of products. Basin is also less expensive, with bath bombs starting at $ 6 – 7 at Lush.
I’d definitely stop by here again given the chance and have already recommended it to friends visiting Disney Springs.

I was skeptical at first because was devoted to LUSH products. However this store is much better for several reasons.
PROS
1: cheaper than competitor
2: store is set up so it is less congested than competitors.
3: no one following you pushing products that I found annoying at LUSH
4. Shampoo bars… just a little bit goes a long way and cheap.
5. Staff not overly friendly but not rude and are helpful.
CONS
1: no samples, scents can smell different on so it would be nice to be able to get samples or have some sort of return policy. Devils advocate they have lots of scrubs you can try in store and it may be difficult to break up bars, bath bombs for samples.
2: conditioner bar is ok. It works to where my hair is manageable but I wish it would make it a bit softer.
3. Not all natural– SLS common foaming agent added (probably a lot). Depending on product has dye as well, which maybe why it is cheaper than LUSH

I’ve shopped here for a while and liked the bath bombs (though they stain the tub and require a little cleaning after) and make your own candles (which they discontinued from what I see).
Unfortunately I bought my first product that I didn’t like, the hair conditioner bar doesn’t work at all, and came to discover Basin’s non-​existent return policy. Even though they live in the land of Walt Disney World where customer service is incredible, Basin has a no return policy. This is on the receipt that you, of course, get *after* you’ve made your purchase.
I’ve already wasted time at the store where the manager wouldn’t accept my return and acted disgusted that I tried to return a product I used, took time out to complain at Disney Springs Guest Services, Tweeted and wrote an email to Customer Service. Too much time wasted for a $ 13 return. I should have just been able to return the poor product and get my money back immediately. Buyer beware!!!

A store similar to Lush, I was quite happy to see this in Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney).
Bonus: CHEAPER THAN LUSH!
They have bath bombs, bath salts, natural hand/​body soaps, hand scrubs, lip scrubs, lip balms, solid perfumes, and shampoo/​conditioner bars. Also they have facial masks/​scrubs! Apparently they DON’T TEST ON ANIMALS which is a plus!
They carry a variety of different scents and I love the layout, its a perfectly sized shop and their items are neatly organized. You can try their hand scrubs, lip scrubs, and lip balms!
What I loved is that they have special Mickey Confetti bath bombs and some of their soaps have a mickey head design! So Im glad to see they put a little disney magic there!
I got 3 small bath bombs (a mickey confetti included of course) & a mickey designed bath soap for $ 17.03!
My boyfriend also got me a $ 5 tube of bath salts (mix and match)! I love this place!

What a cool cool place! If you have a sensitive nose than you might want to visit this place from the outside because the different scents could be a little overwhelming after a little while.
If you are into bath’s and soaps than this place is for you, if your not, than this is still a pretty cool place to visit. There are lots of samples to try here like different scrubs, lotions, fragrances, lip balm and other stuff I’m sure. They have sinks in the middle of the store where you can wash your hands with the different scrubs. They have these bath ball things to make your bubble bath a little more exciting. And I can’t forget to include all the festive homemade soaps that they have there.
Nice clean environment. Even on busy days it does’t feel too crowded in there. This is a must see for me when I come to Disney Springs. Only downside for me would be the price, its a little much, but for good reason. The samples definitely bumps this place up to 5 though, its nice to try before you buy.
All in all, this is a cool place, and I like cool places.

I concur that this is the lone Disney establishment you will find that lacks any real customer service or friendly cast member, which is weird for Disney… HOWEVER:
BEST SOUVENIR at Disney for ANY girl is one of the many scented soaps here with the mini Mickey heads inside it! I bought a bar in many colors/​scents and the clear winner was the Christmas red/​green Mickey heads in the Evergreen scent! love it!
They even have a birthday scent with pink and purple Mickey heads… and you cannot complain about the price. Go to ANY soap store, anywhere and the prices are probably higher! (have you never been to LUSH in the mall?)

This place is just amazing! I love their lotions, bath bombs, and their new facial masks. Everything is freshly made with natural positive ingredients. The salt scrub is very beneficial to use and you can wash your hands inside the store for free with the stuff! Also, you can try body butter, lotion, and other cool products.
I highly recommend trying the new facial masks because they are very soothing. You can create your own mask with the ingredients you want. I asked the staff what they recommend since it was my first time purchasing the mask. I think the price of about $ 20 was worth it. You can get about 4 uses out of it since you suppose to use it once a week with a little bit.
Disney cast members can get discounts here too. I would highly recommend this place to everyone who likes to smell a clean store and wants to check out some new fresh bathroom regimen products.

Absolute must visit when going to downtown Disney. Most nearby resorts and hotels will give you coupons as well. They have everything you could possibly want to smell yummy =]

Basin is a great store even for us Men! My wife drags me here every time we visit Downtown Disney and the place has grown on me. On this particular visit, I noticed they added a large island of sinks that allow you to try their salt scrub line of products. I must admit, I found these salt scrub products very enticing, I noticed immediately how smooth my hands felt after washing my hands. The only negative is that I found it to be a bit pricey, a large container goes for $ 35.00. My wife tells me that’s not a lot for a quality product and after seeing the end result, I think I agree with her. They offer every kind of scent you can dream up when it comes to soap.

BATH BOMB HEAVEN. This store is amazing! If you have ever been to Lush this store has a very similar vibe (I think I may even like it more!!) it’s got so much variety in scents of various products such as bath bombs, bath salts, salt scrubs, shea scrub (I totally recommend this. They have a spot in the middle for you to wash your hands with it and it’s just simple amazing!) and more!

I first fell in love with bath bombs here! Every time we are in Orlando I always have to stop in to get a few!

You can smell this store from outside!
I’ve walked by this place way too many times drooling over all the smells and I finally went in! You couldnt even imagine how amazing it smells inside; even my husband was impressed.
Basin is your go-​to place for anything bath related; shampoo & conditioner, bar soaps, bath salts, bath bombs, body butter, and even perfume and soap dishes! All the soaps and shampoo/​conditioner bars and bath bombs are priced around $ 5−8/ with deals on the bath bombs for buying 3; 3 for $ 12 kind of thing.
It was fun walking around smelling all the different types of scents they have and reading the facts for all the shampoo bars they sell. Things like pet soap, bamboo soap (really good for men’s facial skin), and the numerous soaps and shampoo meant for repairing your hair/​skin after spending too long int he FL sun and even for the days when you’re up north in the cold for too long. .revitalizing, brightening, toning, acne, dry scalp, they have anything you could ever need; even cute little Mickey soaps for little kids!
There’s a giant hand washing section in the middle of the store and by all the sinks are canisters of wonderful smelling salts. So I read the directions, lathered up & scrubbed for 30 secs, and rinsed. My hands have NEVER been softer! My husband was even impressed, which was nice! $ 30 for a full canister but I could see that easily lasting a very long time and I’m sure it’s good for more then just your hands. 3 days later my hands are still super soft, and it’s winter & my hands are usually extremely dry.
We must have walked around that store for a good 30 mins smelling all the smells and wandering around checking everything out. We ended up buying a shampoo bar for me and 2 soaps. I’ve never heard of shampoo ‘bars’ before but after seeing what their product did for my hands I was curious to see how well an $ 8 shampoo bar would treat my brittle hair! My husband got the bamboo soap after searching for it for 3 years; I got him a body wash a few years back from B&B works and he LOVED it so much he’s been driving himself crazy to find another one. Now he’s found a pure bamboo bar & a whole supply for when he runs out. 3 things ran us $ 22 which is steep for soap but well worth it for pampering!

Not natural– contain dyes, cheap fragrance oils, and other irritants. If you’re used to the smell of actual essential oils and natural ingredients you’ll be able to tell the difference. The bath bombs gave me rashes and the scents dont last. Also, as of last time I checked, they use un-​ethical palm oil, which destroys rain forests!

I wanted to take a bubble bath in my hotel and was disappointed that 1) I didn’t bring any bubble bath and 2) my resort was a bit far away from typical markets to buy some.
I stumbled across BASIN when strolling through Downtown Disney, and was immediately delighted.
Bath bombs and bath salts, here I come! All of the bath bombs are in big canisters, so you can easily take in their aroma. Same with the baths salts — a scoop allows you be sure that scent is just what you’re looking for.
Prices are $ 3.99 for a small bath bomb, or $ 4.99 for a large. You can get three small for $ 10 or three large for $ 12. The small size is perfect.
The bath salts are sold per tube, or a slight discount if you buy multiple (can’t recall the exact number).
There is a sink in the middle of the store where you can test some soaps (or was your hands if you go overboard with lotion sampling.)
They also have solid perfumes, shampoo, conditioner — great assortment! Not the cheapest place, but I love the products.

Great cosmetics and beauty shop. We went to the shop in Disney World while browsing the shops in the Marketplace. This was a real surprise how nice this shop really is. The senses detect great fragrances thorough out and the place is designed so well. I call it a real treat for the nose and eyes and the rest of your body. There lots and lots of testers for trying. We purchased several products to take on the trip back home. We will be checking out their store online.

Prepare for a sensory overload! Many awesome scents to sniff in a variety of types. The products are good, overpriced but then again, it’s Disney. Helpful, friendly staff though and nice set up.

After a long, hot, sweaty day at downtown disney — what could be more inviting than the fresh soapy smell of Basin?!
I don’t shop at these type of boutiques often but I did drop a pretty penny on some fine smelling products on the way home.
Only downside– my crazy attack chihuahua is afraid of the fizzing sound the bath bombs make so Calgon did not take me away on the first try!

I looooOove this shop! All the products are very nice and great quality. Maybe a little pricey but we all know we get what we pay for. My favorite is the candle bar. You can make your own candle with soy beads with many scents to pick from and mix up. They burn forever and put out amazing aromas. Layer the scents and it will keep you guessing threw the day.
I also really enjoy the lip scrub. Its a yummy flavor and it has your lips soft as can be. I guess I never leave the store without a couple candles, lip scrub and body scrub. Try out the different ones at the huge sink in the middle. If you can overlook the kids running around like they have no parents and putting theyre hands in all the jars you will enjoy the thoughts of long relaxing soaks in your tub at home. Maybe the moms are off dreaming of Calgon? Otherwise this is a great store.

My nose followed the soft, sinuous aromas and I ended up in Basin. What a great, unique store!
Anything you need to feel good about your self is in this store. The Bath Balls to slip into your bath were incredible and came in many different scents. Need shampoo and conditioner? It’s here too. Maybe you can use a scrub? Even if you don’t, you get to try it out in their large sink. The soy candles have to be the best idea I have seen. It’s a DIY!!! Fill up the glass bowl of what ever fragrances you’d like, stick a wick in the middle and voila!!!
This is definitely a hands on store w/​reasonable prices in DT Disney. The best souvenir you can ever buy to take home from your trip!!!

I could straight up take a bath in the middle of this store.
I just reviewed Basin White yesterday (inside the Grand Floridian) and you know I had to review the mother ship here in Downtown Disney. There is NO WAY you can walk by this location and not visit it. The smell lures you in and all the interactive stations to try their products will keep you there. Then, there are so many cute packaging options you want to get a gift for everyone you know and some for yourself, of course!
The body scrubs and body butters are my favorite. You must try the body scrubs at the sinks, once you exfoliate your hands, you will want to jump in the sink to do the rest of your body. It’s basically like laying on the beach right where the tide breaks and someone gives you a sand massage but with added luxurious scents. Yes, try it. Your hands will thank you for the next hour at least. And go with a scent you like because they will smell that way for a while. There are so many scents to choose from too so take your time and walk around.
The bath bombs are amazing if you have a bath to use them in. I am currently without a tub and I dream of the day I can reuse these because they add a layer of amazing to a relaxing bath.
Another fun section is where you can make your own soy candle with various scents. It’s self serve and you can mix and match as much as you would like. It’s very pleasing to the eye and nose! Next time I stop in I must try their solid perfumes.
The staff is pretty helpful here but not over bearing. There are only four stores in the world and the other Basin is in Vegas. The other two are the higher end, more luxurious shops: Basin White and one is in the Grand Floridian on property and the other in Vegas. Yes, it’s a bit pricey for bath and cosmetic items but they are high quality!
Do yourself a favor (or anyone you are gifting) and stop in here.
