Hello everyone, i have a question, if i'm not a DVC member and I book a stay in a DVC resort like the Kidani Villas at the AK Lodge, will I have daily housekeeping or it will apply the same limited service as for the DVC members?, this will be my first time staying in a DVC resort

Thanks
 
I too will be staying at Kidani for the first time soon, and it is my understanding that if you pay cash for your reservation, you get daily mousekeeping. If you stay on DVC points, whether you are actually a member of DVC or renting points from one, you only get the limited service. But if you paid for your res, you get it daily.
 
You will have the same room service as you'd expect at any other resort hotel at any other time. They'll come in every day and do the same things that housecleaning would do at any other hotel.

If you're a DVC member using your points toward that room, I believe housekeeping is handled different. But, as a cash customer, you get the "perks" of daily housekeeping.

And, by the way? If it's a villa, they'll even load and run the dishwasher for you. ;)
 
Cash reservations get daily housekeeping. But if you rent points, you get DVC housekeeping - trash and towel on the fourth day. If you have a long stay you do get a cleaning on the 7th day I think it is. You can pay extra for daily housekeeping even if you are staying on points.
 

Hopefully not hijacking the thread, but I have another related question.

Does Mousekeeping at the Villas occasionally do towel animals? I don't even want to mention the possibility to my family if it is unlikely to happen. We are staying at OKW. :cool1:

We got them at the Treehouse Villas.

If you are staying on points, for 7 nights or less you get trash & towel on day 4. If you are staying 8 or more nights, you get a full cleaning on day 4 and a trash & towel on day 8, then the cycle repeats after that for longer stays. The day you check-in is day 1.
 
Another semi-hijack question. Will mousekeeping leave new laundry detergent every day or do I need to somehow either bring it with me or buy it there? Thank you

They should if you are in a 1 bedroom or larger. If they don't, call housekeeping.
 
Thank you DebbieB. My daughter thinks I'm nuts for doing laundry on vacation, but there's nothing like going home and being able to put away clean clothes. We have a two bedroom villa, so if I need extra, I'll just call mousekeeping and ask.

You could always let your daughter do it when you get home. :lmao: I did laundry on my first visit at OKW. We threw a load in the AM in the washer and when we got back in the afternoon we put it in the dryer. Showered and napped, it was great. They do provide Tide, but I'm allergic to it. Purex now makes those handy sheets. We got towel animals all over the place one day, because I left the maid a homemade, by me at my own home then packed, Mickey head chocolate chip cookie along with a tip. I think we had 4, it's been awhile since that's happened.
 
I've stayed at the Boardwalk Villas and the Beach Club Villas. In both cases, we had housekeeping just like a normal hotel guest (we were not staying on points). They provided laundry soap and if we needed more, we just asked for it.

With regards to the towel animals, our last trip (October 2009) was the first time there were animals left in the room almost daily. In our prior trips (four or so), there had not been animals.
 
I am also staying at DVC in a 1bdrm villa on a cash ressie next week and was wondering about what supplies are provided. From here I know that laundry detergent is provided, but what about other supplies? I've stayed at other timeshares where coffee, dishwashing detergent, garbage bags can be replenished.

thanks!

Those three items will be there when you arrive and can be replenished thru-out your stay.

I don't have a complete list of all items provided though.

There will be a small bottle of liquid dish soap, a small box of dishwasher soap, sponge, pots/pans, glasses, flatware, dishes, the standard face/body soap & shampoo that you get in the regular room, there will be extra trash bags under the bag in the garbage can, coffee, tea and even a bottle opener. They are all pretty well stocked and if you need more you can call housekeeping.

We found that the Dryel washer-dryer sheets were great for the one bedroom washer/dryers
