[MimiKay]

We're leaving in 4 days!!!! and staying at ASMovies... how much do all of you guys tip mousekeeping a day! I want to help them out as much as I can! Just curious!

We will be tipping $1 per person when we go in December...$4 a day....don't forget to print out your mouseeping envelopes...I believe it may be the TIP board that has a current theme about this!!

We tip $1 per day per person. So, a $3 tip for the 3 of us. Although, on our trip in May we are staying at the YC concierge and I'm thinking I may tip alittle more.

We travel with just 2 people, and we tip about $2-$4/day, depending on the mess and how many 1's I have.

I thought about tipping $1.00 per person, and there are 4 of us

staying in the room....Maybe even leaving $5.00 per day...I think

they would definately appreciate this....I would!

I tip $5 a day. That is for myself, my mom, and my little girl.

This past trip I tipped $5 per day. That was for me, my neice and my nephew.

Do you tip per day, or the day you check out? Does it matter?

 

[Jinnyboom]

Monte....I would tip per day as different "mousekeepers" may be attending to your room each day.
The perks of course are that you will find little surprises on a daily basis...and the ethic is that Disney most likely does not treat their employees as "magically" as they do their guests.

One other reminder re tipping housekeeping....please leave your tip in an envelope CLEARLY marked for the housekeeping staff. You certainly don't want to lay a few dollars on a table and assume that housekeeping will know that this is their tip...I understand that they are really not permitted to disturb articles on bedside tables, armiores, etc...as these are considered "personal items"
Leave it in the bathroom or by the sink area....again...CLEARLY marked for housekeeping.
Okay...I'm outta here......enjoy your trip!!!!!!!!!

Jinnyboom made some good points, there is just one other thing I wanted to add. You MAY find some special treats done for you as a result of leaving a tip, but there's no guarantee. We left daily tips at PORiverside, had a wonderful housekeeper that made coming back to our room each day a treat. We left daily tips at the All Stars (same trip) and never had anything special done. Have a wonderful time!!!

Hi,

We tip $1 per day per person. It is just my husband and I and we are not that messy.

I tip $1 per day per person. I have found that if you leave the tip on the bed pillows the mousekeepers always take it.

 

[Goofyposter]

we tip $5 per day...there's the 2 of us...both adults (depending who you ask)....We've gotten some some "extras"..... Have fun!!...we leave disney dollars in "printed evelops" if that helps!

When all four of us go, we usually tip $5 a day. When it is just my wife and I, $2 or $3 a day. I think the $1 per person rule works pretty well!

We tip daily - five of us in our family for good service $5 per day. One trip we had a lousy housekeeper who couldn't even tuck the sheets in correctly or clean the bathroom. She got nothing more after the first day and service never improved. If they go above and beyond the call of duty like on our first trip we leave more. I also left candy for her and she gave us a Disney frame at the end of our stay. On our September trip two weeks after 9/11- I brought an extra flag ribbon pin for the housekeeper as well as her tip. She was excellent also.

Ok, you tip $1.00, or $2.00 per day for a daily service, but on checkout day how much do you leave? I'm assuming it's quite a bit more, since the housekeepers have to clean everything. Is $15.00 - $20.00 acceptable?

 

[DixieDreamer]

monte - I do not tip differently on the last day. I tip the same every day. Generally I tip $2 per person per day (it is more than the recommended - but I want to). With my family of three that works to $6 a day.

 

[Kallison]

I tip more if we received good service, usually we do except for that one time. Usually $10.
