Tipping Mousekeeping for DVC

[bytheblood]

I realize that we will not have daily Mouskeeping, but I wonder if we should tip more on the one day that we do.
Is this customary?

What I mean is, If I were to tip $10 a day on a cash reservation for a 2-bedroom villa, would this same kind of tip be customary for the one day that we get Mousekeeping or would somebody normally do more?

For us, that depends on how dirty the room actually is. We normally take good care of everything, and clean up a bit before we go out. If your room is basically in the same condition as your room when you are on a cash ressie, why would you tip more?

Disney housekeepers are not tipped employees. Whether or not you leave a tip (and by extension, the amount) is purely at your discretion. I don't know if there is a "customary" tip level given that tipping at DVC resorts in general isn't customary. If you do leave a tip, I think they'll be happy to receive whatever you leave.

Thanks! Both of these follow along with what I was thinking. Just wanted to make sure I was not being stingy.

Keep in mind that on trash and towel days, that is all they will do. Take out the trash, and replace the towels. They will not clean the villa, change sheets, etc. If you are staying in the same room for more than 7 nights, you will get one full cleaning on one day.

Can you clarify what this means? I am new to DVC.
