[Leslie32]

We are staying at the Poly, Concierge and this is our first time every going to WDW. Who do I tip and how much? We are a family of 5. Also are there two maids a day one for cleaning and one for turn down?

Thanks for all your advice

When we stay at the polynesian we plan on tipping the following:

Valet who takes the car when we arrive. $2

Bellman who takes bags and us to the concierge building in a cart $5-10, depending on how many bags we have.

Housekeeping before we leave each morning $3-5

Housekeeping (turndown) before we leave each evening for dinner $2-3, depending on if we need fresh towels, etc.

Valet when picking up the car $2

If by chance when we get there our room isn't ready, $1-2 per bag when they are delivered later.

Gift for concierge staff--Usually a large box of quality chocolates or tin of gourmet cookies. They are not allowed to accept cash.

Thank you so much that helps alot. I know that valet is 6.00 a day. What if the next few days you don't use your car and stay on the property for a couple days is it still 6.00 a day?

Yes, it's $6 a day whether you move it in and out eight times or not at all.
