Heigh-Ho Deborah,
This is a wonderfully gracious question and one I hope most Guests read. Especially, during this pandemic, Mousekeeping has gone above and beyond in
maintaining a healthy and safe environment for all Guests at their Home Away from Home.
Via recommendations from governmental authorities and health agencies, each room is thoroughly cleaned and floors are vacuumed and steamed. High-touch areas are especially given extra special attention, for peace of mind. This includes TV remotes, all door handles, counter surfaces both in the living area and bathrooms amongst other obvious items, which we come in contact with. Guests will have the option to for-go daily light Mousekeeping or have the daily service. This modified service will include the removal of trash and towels, the replenishment of towels, and amenities (coffee, sugar, tea, lotion, soap, etc.), vacuuming, and the wiping of counter surfaces. Mousekeeping is working very hard to make sure your home is comfortable and safe.
And YES, gratuity is much appreciated by Mousekeeping and is a very thoughtful way for Guests to show their appreciation for keeping their rooms clean before, during and after their Walt Disney World vacation. Before arriving, I have a tip envelope ready for each day I am staying with a small thank you and a monetary tip for the hard work they provide.
Thank you for bringing your curiouser and curiouser question to planDisney and may your upcoming stay be filled with many magical and memorable moments.
Have a Practically Perfect Day,
Amy M.
