Guests offered Disney gift cards in exchange for not having their rooms cleaned


For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.


Many Crew members on my Facebook group reported yesterday that they were offered Disney gift cards in exchange for not having their rooms cleaned. 

As the guests were checking into All Star Movies resort, they were told that they could receive a $20 per day Disney gift card in exchange for denying room cleaning services for their entire stay.  One person stated that they received an $80 gift card for a 4 night stay and another said they received $140 for a 7 night stay.

Each guest reported that they could receive towel service and request toiletries as they needed, but their sheets would not be changed and there would be no vacuum or cleaning of any kind offered.

If you accept this offer MouseKeeping will also not provide those cute little towel creatures on your bed each evening.  This is said to be a test and no word on if it will spread to other resorts or when it will end.

I will state that I noticed that this was a very normal policy for hotels in Denmark when we visited recently.  They say it saves on water, power and wear and tear on the sheets.

Would YOU accept $20 per night for not having your room cleaned during your trip?

ANNETTE I have had the towel animals many times could be who you get for that day, even received mints. But I go to Disney this Oct. and I plan to wave the house keeping. This is my Granddaughters first visit 2 1/2 yrs old can’t wait to see her face. When we took my other Granddaughter I went in before her and decorated with tinkerbell and layed out Sleeping Beauty dress shoes etc it was much cheaper that way.

We stayed at Pop Century from 8-1-2018 to 8-8-2018 with our 2 granddaughters, ages 4 and 9. Got a $50 Gift card to opt out. I didn't call anyone to empty the garbage cans or get clean towels. I took the garbage out everyday on my way out and got clean towel from the bins located outside on the way back to the room. The dirty towels were given to the cleaning crew when I saw them in the hall. I treated the hotel room as I would my own house, we picked up after ourselves. It took no extra effort. We would do it again.

This would be a $25 savings because you also save on a tip.
