Good info all! Thanks so much! I was worried about all of that and now I'm not!
Thanks!

My first renting of points is in 3 weeks. (SSR!!)

My contract clearly went over all the rules and services. I keep the room in good shape, and do conserve on towels.

However, I was wondering if there were towels at the pool for pool use, so thanks for answering that.

I may just pack one anyway.

So we are really considering renting DVC points for our next trip. We had gotten so use to the military room discount and now that seems to be going away it looks as though we can get a studio at OKW for less than staying at a moderate for 10 nights. The only thing that is turning us off is the fact that we would not receive daily housekeeping. So I guess my question is can you pay for daily maid service and if so anyone have any idea of the daily fee? TIA

We don't mind it much, but it would be nice to have it done more the it is.

There are towels at all the pools. They are not large beach towels just small, regular size bath towels. If you want a large, beach towel, certainly bring your own.

The first year we bought into DVC, I was a little sceptical about not having mousekeeping every day so I did pay for it for the entire trip. Found out after, it really was not necessary at all and could of spent the money on better things (like souveniers or a grey goose slushie!). We make the bed in the morning, if you have alot of trash you can bring it down the hall to the "trash room". As far as towels, we never had a problem with what was given but for the $6 it may be worth it for some. For those who need it, there is a vaccum in the room. We do stay in a studio ($30 per day to clean). It also alleviates having mousekeeping knock on your door if you are having a late start or sleeping in (they do start their rounds early).


I know people do take the towels from the pool - not recommended you do that but I have seen it done.

So the towel package is 6 per day and they come to your room to switch out or do you have to bring them up to the front? That may be a solution to our problem. I can always make the beds before we leave in the morning.

For the $6 towel package, they bring the towels to your room and hand them to you. For the trash & towel service, they come in and hang the towels and remove the dirty ones, empty the trash, replace soaps.
