Purpose of bed turn down service

[L&Lfan]

I've had it at the Grand Californian and enjoyed it.....never at WDW, and that's fine. My point....I like it but can live without it.

we were surprised by this the first 3 nights of our honeymoon at the wilderness lodge. we thought it was a really nice touch! they left chocolates (which we couldn't eat all of they left so many!) and cards with native american proverbs on them. i took the cards home and plan on framing them.

We use those cards (different types of sayings at the various resorts) for book marks! Nice little reminder of our vacation while I'm reading before bed.

When we stayed at the Grand Floridian, they turned the lights down low, turned down the bed, refilled the ice bucket, left chocolates on the pillows, turned on quiet music, and made the room feel so relaxed and inviting. It was wonderful after a long, full day at the parks.

WOW, that sounds nice. We are staying at the GF in September for the first time. I can't wait.

What is the purpose of bed turn down service? I've never stayed club or concierge level anywhere and am curious. Is it just a nice little luxury to have? Is there something in the mints?

It's a nice perk to your room that had a quick freshup. Turn down bed, fresh towels and dirty dishes removed, lights turned down low and a chocolate on the pillow.

I felt very pampered receiving this service when a college friend and I took a girls trip and stayed at the GF. I thought it was a special touch and was tickled by it. I've never requested turn-down service during our many stays at the Poly. Maybe I will when we return in Nov. My husb isn't crazy about people coming into the room though. He prefers we not even receive daily housekeeping. I love receiving daily housekeeping, fresh towels, soaps, etc while on vacation. Again, it makes me feel pampered to have the room, towels, and supplies freshened up. A woman needs that now and then!

I love turn down service
Never had it at Disney (will request it when I go in September as staying at AKL)
Got spoilt with it when staying in Italy, bed turned down, chocolates, soft music, bottled water, dimmed lights and a lovely scented candle burning in a special holder.

We always have dirty diapers, so having the trash emptied again is the best part for us!!

Is there a particular timeframe in which they do turndown service at GF? If we're going to be away at a certain time, should we let Mousekeeping know? We're staying there for the first time later this summer, and my parents will have a slightly different schedule than the rest of us...so it will be nice to know how to accommodate their schedule (they'll love the service).

I don't remember getting it when we stayed at GF last year. Keep in mind that this thread is about 6 years old.

OH goodness, I didn't notice that. That was a serious thread bump!
