Will Mousekeeping do a "replace the sheets only" service upon request on Day 2 at a lower rate than a full clean?

We have a 2 BR BCV booked for this upcoming week. My mom is traveling with us, but will be staying at BWV the first night. My stepson and his family from Tampa are staying with us that night and will have "her" room. She will want clean sheets when she moves to BCV - but we don't need a full clean. Would we better off just stripping the bed ourselves and washing them?
 
No, there is no "sheet service" other than the full cleaning.
 
Before I washed them myself I would call housekeeping and just see if they will swap out the sheets. If you are stripping and remaking the bed I doubt they would have major issues with it. (but some here will pipe in about how that will increase our dues and be against the "rules") :cool1:
 
Last year at BCV they didn't change the sheets on day 4, just replaced the towels. We were in a studio so no washer dryer.
We asked house keeping and she said they didn't change the sheets mid-week of a 7 day stay. I asked for clean sheets and did it myself.
 

We've gotten a midweek linen change and changed them ourselves (bedwetting experience with a little one who'd stopped wetting the bed a year before, but overtired makes you do strange things). Ask for a set of sheets and see what happens. If they don't given them to you, throw them through the wash. I suspect it isn't consistant.

That's correct for a stay of 7 nights or less, towels only. 8 nights or more, you get a full cleaning on day 4, which includes towels & sheets.
 
We sometimes have people coming and going so we just throw the sheets in the washer with the towels and remake the bed. We start the washer when we leave in the morning and whoever stops back in the room during the day throws them in the dryer.

You do realize that "day 2" is actually the day after you arrive. Since that would be only 1 night on those sheets, I guess I'm not sure why they would need to be replaced. I only replace my sheets once a week at home, and I can't imagine them needing to do it more often at my Disney home. If you need clean sheets, your only alternative is to pay for a full cleaning.

Depending on how long you are staying, you will have a trash and towel service on day 4 (counting check in day as day 1). If you are staying more than 7 nights, you will have a full cleaning with clean sheets etc, on day 4, and a trash and towel service on day 8. Anything beyond that is a "pay as you play" rate.

In your case, I'd just strip and wash the bedding myself. When we have had a change of guests like that, we've had a full cleaning scheduled, but I didn't feel like we got the real full cleaning service, so it wasn't worth the cost in my book.
 
Thank you all for the help! Looks like I'll have some laundry to do. :laundy:

I change my sheets once per week as well.

But a change of guests is another story, in my opinion. I wouldn't want to sleep on sheets someone else slept on the night before. Particularly in this situation - details of which I won't elaborate on since it would fall into the TMI category. :rotfl:

I agree, and I did address that "guest" issue at the end of my post when I realized it was for a change of guests. I just wanted to point out that the one time we had housekeeping do an extra paid for full cleaning, we were less than happy with it. Our first guests had taken the extra blanket from the closet that was there for the pull out sofa, and put it over the spread on the bed. When we had the paid for full cleaning, the housekeeper made the bed with the extra blanket, and that left none for the young man who was going to sleep on the pull out. I was even not completely sure the sheets had been changed, since the place had obviously not been vacuumed or cleaned much in any other way. I ended up having them come back and redo it while I was there! Oh, and they didn't charge me for it either. :upsidedow

Last week we had the same experience at AKV - Kidani. I called housekeeping not mentioning the circumstances, asked for a bottom sheet for the pullout and if there was a charge. no charge, and 15 minutes later a gentleman dropped a full set of sheets off. Fantastic.
 
We have an upcoming stay of 10 nights doing a full cleaning on day 4 sounds a little early to me. Whom do I contact to have them change the date to more like day 5 or so? Then trash and towel on day 8? Thanks.:goodvibes:goodvibes

You can call housekeeping from your room phone. Depending upon how busy their schedule is, they may or may not accommodate you. And even so, sometimes they forget.
 
During an OKW stay, I called housekeeping and asked for a change of sheets due to the same scenario you describe and I told them to charge it to the room. They brought the sheets, did not make the bed which was fine, nor did they charge me for them at check out. I went to the desk and explained that I had not been charged for fresh sheets and they told me not to worry about it.

On the mailed reservation confirmation that we received from MS it has the T&T and the full cleaning days on it.
Do they have the capacity to change it on their end? Maybe that would help. Because I could definitely see Mouskeeping forgeting or something.
Thanks.
 
Not that I'm aware of, I think that the dates are auto-generated at the time of booking.
 
Hi, OP here...

We decided to just toss the sheets and towels in the in-suite washer/dryer and my mother and I made up the bed once they were clean. No issues at all.

Ironically, I turned Mouskeeping away when they came by on Day 4 with clean towels. We had plenty left in the main bathroom and never had to touch the extras we washed from the 2nd BR. She acted like I was crazy, but we still left after another 2 days with clean towels on the racks.
