mousekeeping

[mickeytravel]

i will be arriving at the WL on Firday and i am just wondering what everybody tips mousekeeping. How much and do you do it daily or at the end of your trip.

[DebK]

We tip daily as the maid for the room could change during the course of the trip.

[ibelieveindisneymagic]

We tip a dollar per person each day. We leave it for Mousekeeping daily, as the mousekeeper could change before the end of your trip :mickey:

[WriteDisney]

We tip daily as well about a dollar per person :thumbsup:

[brewcrew26]

We also tipped about a $1 per day per person. DH works at a bank so we got $2 bills. I made special envelopes for each day with a different theme. One would be pirates, one Nemo, one princess, etc.

Here's a link to one of the envelope photos (http://www.shutterfly.com/lightbox/view.sfly?fid=4859664e2b65da5b9a16dcf07a6807f9)

We tip a dollar per person each day. We leave it for Mousekeeping daily, as the mousekeeper could change before the end of your trip :ditto: - unless we've received poor or no service. This has never happened to us at WL! Mousekeeping has always been great!

It is my understanding that at WDW, Mousekeeping is a non-tipped position. We tip accordingly...

:mickey: I tip $5 a day. We usually have either 3, 4, or 5 people in the room, depending on who goes on that particular trip, and where we stay. I leave a little note thanking mousekeeping for a wonderful job each day with the tip. (Don't know if it had anything to do with it, but last trip, we had towel animals left every day and our stuffed animals all arranged having fun when we got back to the room.)

We tip $4 each day (2 people staying in the room). On the last day I usually leave about $7 and a "Thank you for making our vacation magical" card.

[VolMickey]

We tip :number1: dollar per day per person, typically. We use the cute envelopes typically, as well.

[DisneyFan1979]

We tip $5/day for a room with 3 people. We usually leave it on the vanity where the housekeeper has put their card. That's our standard tip no matter where we stay, Disney or otherwise - unless it's just a tiny roadside motel.

We generally tip a dollar a day for each in the room....for us that's 5 a day......if a bunch of towel animals or something above and beyond maybe a little more......:mickey:

[DisneyorBust]

Just like the other posts....we normally tip $1 per person/per night. For us that is $4 or $5 depending. We also tip each morning as the Mouskeepers may change.

[BelleLovesTheBeast]

I don't tip unless they do something beyond making the bed and giving us new towels.

$2 a day

[jpH/keD]

We tipped $1/per person per day! We did cute
envelopes and the kids signed them! A few days they did not pick them up so they got a good tip at the end of the week! We left about 3 envelopes that day!:mickey:

[bkfree]

There are 4 of us and we also tip $5 a day and have always had exceptional Mousekeeping with lots of fun towel animals etc. I also decorate envelopes with cute sayings like
"Thanks for straightening up the Castle"
"You make us feel like royalty"
" You did a Mousetacular Job!" etc. and we leave them propped on the bed pillow.
They have always been picked up and we have never been disappointed.

We tipped about $4 a day, we got many towel animals that week.... don't know if that helped but... and the cleaning person really appreciated it. :mickey:

Ditto for us.

[katzctkpt]

we generally tip a $1 a person per day. Then at the end of the trip if they've done extra special things for us we leave more.

....usually $5 dollars a day....with a final day tip of $7 to $10 dollars. To me, the housekeeping staff is probably the most important component of our time spent in the resort (POP is usually the place we're staying). I've always had a clean room to return to....extra pillows...towels, etc were always delivered to our room within MINUTES of calling for them....and the room cleaning staff people that I've encountered have never failed to give a smile or "hello". I think a decent tip is the least I can do for someone that makes my one vacation a year as enjoyable as possible.

Hi, we read these posts before we left (6/19 - 6/23) and thought we would tip $1 a day per person like they said. But...we expected to have our children's stuffed animals cutely organized, or towel stuffed animals, or something like everyone else. But all we got were the animals thrown in a pile on the bed and.. well that's about it. Now I still tipped $5 a day (5 of us) but I feel so jipped. We stayed at the beautiful POR. Loved the resort, but I would tip according to the level of service you get.
