Towel animals back?

[Daryl]

Sorry folks thought I knew how to upload this photo, I just got to my room at the Grand Floridian and house keeping left towels in the shape of Mickey on one of the beds. Not exactly the towel animals of old but still a nice surprise. Sorry for the lack of photo competence. When I figure it out I'll post

Thanks so much Dan! in all these years I never knew how this was done!

catne In recent years (I'd say about the past 5 or so) I just haven't seen these in in any of the on property rooms Ive stayed in

They never left. We've had towel animals this year in January, May, August, October and December.

I've moved this thread to the Disney Resorts board.

I agree with OKW Lover. I've had towel animals in my rooms during all my visits over the last few years. I'm not aware of them ever having been discontinued. But maybe someone here has more information.

Guess I have been very unlucky when it comes to this little extra! Glad to see others have been able to enjoy it

We were just there the week of Dec 3rd and we had an animal each day we had housekeeping. They made the cutest bunny and baby bunny I have ever seen. My 6 year old loved it and posed with it I'll need to upload the pic and post it. I hope they never discontinue it, my boys really enjoyed coming in and seeing them.

Wow I'VE REALLY BEEN UNLUCKY!!!! Sat I'm switching to an EPCOT resort. I'll try leaving a bigger tip

Just kidding, I know how hard those ladies work.

(but I am gonna up the ante a little)

I think it is nice of housekeeping to do something so cute for the guests.... I took pictures of the ones that were in our room at the Boardwalk last May....

We got a towel animal or my DD's animals displayed on the bed (with remote watching The Disney Channel). Well, except the one day that DH forgot to leave a tip.

(and yes, I'm serious)

We have never enjoyed towel animals. This is our third trip in 5 years. We have always stayed at the Poly in the past. This trip in January we will be at the GF. I'll be interested to see if they do any towels animals for our grandchildren. I'm starting to worry that the whole trip is going to be a disaster - from the virus, to teh crowds, I'm getting worried.

This may be a total newbie question and I don't want to offend anyone by any means, but what is the big deal about towel animals?? I have read many reviews on this board and many complain about not receiving towel animals. Can someone please enlighten me?? Thank you!
