Since DVC has limited (in same cases, no mousekeeping services based on length of stay), do you still tip mousekeeping?
Just curious....TIA!

bicker said:Yup, I didn't see any indication, in anything printed either. That's why I was so surprised when I heard what the GM of the BoardWalk resort told me.
Cruelladeville said:I don't tip, since no one did anything to deserve a tip in the first place. I think tipping is supposed to be a reward for service, and if you are not getting any service--
Send email to wdw.guest.communications@disneyworld.comSo how do we get the official word?
I won't flame you -- I agree entirely. Yes, they clean before and after we leave, but that's part of the MAINTENANCE of the property! We actually usually just cancel the T&T and/or the full cleaning ... we take our trash out ourselves and I always wash the towels myself.Mrs Potato Head said:Now, I'm not trying to be cheap here...but if you think about the cost of the points as an owner, versus the cost of a hotel stay to a "guest", then I'd have to consider the added cost of ownership (AKA annual dues) in the equation when considering gratuitites. In other words, I've paid for the room with my points (ownership interest), and I pay for ongoing maintenance of the resort with my annual dues. Isn't housekeeping part of the ongoing maintenance? So aren't I already paying for this service?
Yes, I understand that mousekeeping isn't the highest paid profession. But neither is the vendor that sells me the soda from the cart at Epcot. I don't tip him...yet if he were a waitor, I would. So I'm trying to figure this all out in my head...
I want to be fair, so please don't FLAME me.
