Towel and trash service question - The DIS Discussion Forums

Lovemy3babes · 11-23-2009, 08:24 PM

Hi all! Quick question. We're staying for a week in an OKW studio room. I read towel and trash service is on day 4. If we check in on a Saturday night, is our service on Tuesday or Wednesday? I just want to make sure to leave a tip on the right day. Thanks all!

Tuesday. Your check-in day is day 1.

hakepb · 11-23-2009, 08:34 PM

Tuesday.

Or at least a Sunday check-in gets Wednesday service...

Lovemy3babes · 11-23-2009, 08:43 PM

Perfect! Thanks much.

There really is no need to tip the housekeepers. All they will do is replace your towels and remove your trash if you are staying on a points reservation. No bed making, no straightening the villa, no dishes washed. They will be in and out in five minutes or less.

I know, it just feels like the right thing to do however. They can't make tons of money and it'll make me feel good to give them a little "extra".

I know many on this DIS don't believe mousekeeping a tipping service but I know for a fact many workers in housekeeping are the main bread winners for their family so how can I begrudge them a small tip?

I can never keep those days straight -- the way they change based on how long you're there. The easiest place to figure it out is on your reservation confirmation letter. I belive it lists the actual dates you'll receive each service.

Mousekeeping is the biggest part of our dues, but I still tip them for what they do.

we found leaving a tip tends to get us more than just T & T. They have washed dishes & straightened up a bit too. I think a small tip goes a long way.

It wouldn't surprise me if many are the only bread winners in their family. My feeling is DVC is a luxury I can afford. I doubt many of those working for mousekeeping could ever afford it, so, since I can make their day a bit brighter, I will.

1) We don't worry about it.
2) We get fresh towels any day we wish, and for no extra cost.
3) It is just a matter of how/when you ask for them.

Yeppers... this is the simplest way (at least it used to be anyway). They list right on your res your T&T day.
