If I DONT Want Mousekeeping....

[DisDarling]

How do I go about requesting it? I really dont feel comfortable with anyone being in the Cabin except my family. Do I just ask at Check-In? Or is something I will have to let them know every day?
Thank you for your advice!!

The answer's so simple I over looked it for years--call housekeeping, using the housekeeping button on your phone. You can just request no housekeeping for a day, ask for just clean towels, etc. If you call the front desk the message usually doesn't get passed on.

or go rent points from a DVC member and stay in the villa at VWL instead.....

I agreed I don't like strangers messing with my stuff either!

You can also just put the Do not Disturb on your door.

Most hotels have a requirement that even if you put up the Do Not Disturb sign they have to check on you every 3 days or so. Just to make sure that everything is OK. Not sure if Disney does this also.

Housekeeping may not go into your room but others may have to.

If you leave your Do Not Disturb sign out Housekeeping will leave you a phone message saying they tried to service your room but could not due to the sign and please contact them.

You can call the Housekeeping Super and ask for no service.

We have alwasy left the DND sign out until we are leaving for the day. It never failed that the maids still knocked on the door if we were still in the room at 10am. Those signs mean nothing to the maids. If you really don't want the service then you should call mouskeeping and tell them.

Since I used to work in housekeeping it isn't that they mean nothing - it's that we would get in trouble if we didn't service the room, so we had to try anyway (sometimes people forget to take them off, and then get angry when they come back and their room hasn't been cleaned....). The best way is to inform the housekeeping supervisor, and put the do not disturb sign on - this way room doesn't even make it onto the list of rooms for the housekeeper to service, and it helps to limit other hotel employees from coming into your room.

We have had some things stolen out of our hotel rooms (once it was four mickey ears that had not been inscribed yet - is nothing sacred?) so we always but the DND sign on our door. In May 2003 we put that sign on our door and left it there for our entire 8 night stay - as long as we got soap and shampoo and everything we were all set. But we did leave a nice tip at the end anyway.

Hmm...funny. Having daily maid service has always been a perk of vacation to me! But everyone is differant! In fact, staying at the cabins, the mousekeeper even loaded our breakfast dishes and ran the dishwasher for us. I wish I had a mousekeeper at home!

I would call housekeeping. We put the do not disturb sign on our door; and when we came back, our do not disturb sign was under our door and our room was made up.

I wasn't mad. Just felt bad because I didn't leave a tip. I found out it was the same housekeeper we were going to have the next day, so I gave her double the tip to make up for the day before
