How much is daily maid service?

[oceanscape]

What's the cost if we want to add daily maid service to our BLT stay? What is the service like? Do they often give towel animals? Turndown service? This is for a 2 bedroom, btw....

Thanks!

Check This Thread for all the details. I do not typically find towel animals in the DVC resorts, and turndown service is not offered.

Keep in mind that the DVC concept is not to be a "hotel" but to be a "home". Hence the slogan, "Welcome Home".

Do you get daily maid service at home? Turndown service at home? Towel animals at home? If so, you better bring that person with you to your DVC home.

Yes, I am aware of the DVC concept, but that doesn't mean we don't want to treat ourselves whilst on vacation. The very fact that DVC make maid service available shows they can appreciate there is demand for such a service. No need to be rude.

Can I suggest, to be economical, that if you feel you need housekeeping, that maybe you try every-other day? That way you can try going without, and see which best fits your vacation style. We thought it would be strage to not have daily service, but now we really like the limited service on the DVC schedule, and hate having to be "out of the room" so the housekeeper can service the room when we travel elsewhere.

Maid service is something we have grown to dislike since owning DVC. We find it too much of an intrusion to have to worry about putting things away just because the maid is coming.

As for towel animals....We often have them at both OKW and AKV. At OKW, there is sometimes towel swans in the master bath, and at AKV there will be towel hidden Mickey's on each bed.

There is a big difference in a timeshare vs a hotel room. While it might appear that BLT is a big hotel, it's really a timeshare. So what you get is different from what you get with a hotel.

If you pay cash through CRO, you get treated like it's a hotel. If you use points, you are timesharing.

Sometimes newer members don't fully understand the difference.

Let me apologize if you took my post as being rude - that was not my intention at all. I had hoped to point out the difference between a DVC property and a Disney hotel, that's all.
