I remember one particular memorable stay at POP where the mousekeeper was great! Immaculate room no matter what time of the day I returned from the parks. But no towel animals...Boy was I feeling sorry for myself.
I always tip well and usually make up mousekeeping envelopes so anyway on my last full day, I return from the park and there is a pooh celebration basket all decorated with ribbons and stickers and absolutely georgous....so I ran down the halls until I found someone who could tell me who my mousekeeper was and where she was. Boy was she surprised..when I went in the room she was cleaning to thank her and give her a hug. I don't think her English was top notch, but I did leave her grinning.
I brought that basket home and I'm thinking of surpising my mousekeeper this trip with her tip in that basket....
Towel animals or not, those mousekeepers work so hard and are not paid well. I always tip well and try to keep the room free of clutter and I never leave anything on the floor to be picked up.
Many times, I leave a note not to change the sheets but I sometimes think they do not understand and change the sheets anyway. I only change the sheets once a week at home...so sleeping on the same sheets saves a little bit of water..geesh...
Anyway, this past year at CSR, no towel animals all week so when I was checking out, I left a thank you note for my mousekeeper and made her a simple Mickey with ears on the bed I did not sleep in....I hope she enjoyed it! PS and by the way, I love CSR and would stay there towel animals or no anytime I could...another great mousekeeper.
Towel animals or no, magic is where you find it or make it!
