How much Tip to leave for 2-bedroom at BWV???

[beattyfamily]

I know, I know...Mousekeeping is not "officially" a tipped position as far as WDW is concerned but I'm going to tip. I'm a tipper; I'm just asking how much I should tip at DVC resorts.

So, this will be my first stay 'home' at the BWV this Fall. I will be at the BWV in a one bedroom for 2 nights and then a 2 bedroom for the last three UNLESS my waitlist comes through and then I'll have a 2 bedroom for 5 nights. I'm going under the assumption that I'll get my waitlist and be in a 2 bedroom for 5 nights (wish me luck!).

What day would I get T&T? How much should I leave for 5 nights/2 bedroom 8 people? I was going to leave $8 or $10.

What should I leave on my last day for the 5 nights/2 bedroom? I was thinking about $20 (half of what I'd tip a regular resort which would be $1 pp so $4 a day x 5 nights x 2 rooms = $40)

So to make a long story short, is $10 on T&T and $20 on my last day good enough for a 2 bedroom/5 nights? And what day will they come for T&T if I arrive on Sunday?

THANKS!!!

Every 3rd day is T&T. We leave $10 for a studio, $15 for a 1 br, and $20 for a 2 br............whenever they come. On our last stay, which was 12 nights in March of 2003, they never came unless we called them !

Anyone else who's stayed in a 2-bedroom who could give me advice on how much to tip for T&T AND for the end of the stay tip??

Thanks!

I stayed in a 2 BR with eight people and did the $10.00 on TT day and $20 at the end of the stay. I usually do $1 to $2 per person in the room.

Are tips shared by all housekeeping staff? If you wait until the end of the stay, chances are you might have different housekeepers, since none of them work 7 days a week.

I will leave a tip the day of T&T before we leave for a park...the Mousekeeper that does T&T will get the tip.

I will leave a tip my last day for whomever has to clean my room when I'm gone and done with the room...so I believe whoever gets my tip will be the person that performed the job of cleaning up my mess after 5 nights/days.

Figment2, thanks for the info! That's about what I was going to leave!
