Annual Dues/Mousekeeping

Not sure if it's just confirmation bias, but I've found that the room tends to be cleaned a little better when I tip at any hotel. I don't treat our stays at DVC any different than any other hotel since either way you're still paying for housekeeping, wether it be through dues or baked into the price per night.

I usually tip $1-2 per person per day that we're there, to be left on the refresh day and day of checkout. I'll leave a little more if the room is a bit messier than usual (toddler cereal crumbs or trash full of takeout boxes) and a little less if it's neat (single late night stay)

Though to be honest I think the vast majority of people do not tip hotel staff unless it's a direct service like room service or help with baggage.

Thank you! I was thinking we would go ahead and leave a tip since, we've always done that in past trips!

If we are staying longer than 2 days, and they clean between arrival and checkout I tip. If its a split stay and they are just cleaning after check out, I typically dont.

I always leave a tip for T&T, cleaning day and check out day.

Sometimes I forget and very often don't have cash, but we always try to tip housekeeping, Disney or anywhere. Like @CallMeAFlower said, we do less when we've been tidy, more if our toddler has ground Cheerios into the carpet. My philosophy is also that $10-$20 or even $50 in tips on a vacation doesn't make much of a difference to us in the grand scheme of things, but it can make a cumulative difference if others are also tipping to those in the service industry. Most of them work so hard and are deserving.

Since they no longer do daily mousekeeping I don't feel the need to tip unless I have a toddler accident or need something taken care of.

I thought I read in other threads and/or the FB group that one of the agreements in the latest (or at least recent) contract with the union was that they were no longer considered tipped employees?
