Declining Mousekeeping - Free Gift Card?

[magicofdisney]

I see that I misunderstood your title. I thought you were referencing service that has declined over the years. Now I think you're saying we can opt out of housekeeping and get a gift card in lieu of the service.

On that note, I would definitely accept that offering for short stays. My biggest issue would be what to do with all the trash. There'd need to be a more convenient way to dispose of it. Also, they'd need an efficient way to exchange towels and pick up toiletries for the bathroom. I could see this working well, but it would require more "work" for us.

I don't mind so much the extra efforts I'd need to take for this to happen. The more I travel, the less I like a stranger in my room.

I could be wrong but in other places I've stayed when you take the credit there is no replenishment of towels, toiletries, or coffee. They might, for longer stays, go the route of DVC with fresh towels and supplies on day 4.

I've never stayed anywhere that even offered this option. It's the first I've ever heard of it, outside a timeshare. If those parameters are in place, I'd be LESS inclined to accept. Thanks for the heads-up because I may have missed the fine print on that one.
