Re: how much $$ for mousekeeping??

IWe usually give $10 per day. Thats $2 per person and then a couple extra because it's easier for us to get $10 bills than loads of single here in the UK.

Re: how much $$ for mousekeeping??

We tip mousekeeping $4 a day (we have 2 kids). We also tip the towncar driver $10 each way. We also tip the bell man who brings our luggage ($1 per bag), and then again when they bring it down. At the airport we tip if there's curbside check in--$5. And, we tip when bell staff brings up the bed rails or pack and play ($2)

Re: how much $$ for mousekeeping??

We go with the $1 per person/day and we put them in preprinted envelopes and leave them on a pillow at the end of the bed.

The other "tips" depend on what services you take advantage of.
I tip the towncar driver 10-15% of the "one-way" cost on each leg of the trip. (For a $90 round-trip, I tip the 1st driver ~$5 and then another $5 is given to the driver who returns us to the airport. But I reward exceptional service -- which in my mind, includes playing Disney music, talking about Disney, pointing out the Disney arch, and generally getting us psyched!)

If you use bell services to bring your suitcases to/from the room, I tip $1 per bag. (Come to think of it, I also tip Bell Services when I pick up my bags from them after "storage"... another $1/bag)
If I request something from Mousekeeping, I usually tip $1-2, depending on what they brought.
If you do room service, you'll want to tip.
If you do turn-down service, you'll want to tip $1-2/night.

Re: how much $$ for mousekeeping??

We (4 of us) usually tip $5 a day to Mousekeeping. Bellhops should get $1 per bag (at least) if you use them.
