    We tip daily as the maid for the room could change during the course of the trip.

    We also tipped about a $1 per day per person. DH works at a bank so we got $2 bills. I made special envelopes for each day with a different theme. One would be pirates, one Nemo, one princess, etc.

    Here's a link to one of the envelope photos

    - unless we've received poor or no service. This has never happened to us at WL! Mousekeeping has always been great!

    It is my understanding that at WDW, Mousekeeping is a non-tipped position. We tip accordingly...

    I tip $5 a day. We usually have either 3, 4, or 5 people in the room, depending on who goes on that particular trip, and where we stay. I leave a little note thanking mousekeeping for a wonderful job each day with the tip. (Don't know if it had anything to do with it, but last trip, we had towel animals left every day and our stuffed animals all arranged having fun when we got back to the room.)

    We tip $4 each day (2 people staying in the room). On the last day I usually leave about $7 and a "Thank you for making our vacation magical" card.

    We tip dollar per day per person, typically. We use the cute envelopes typically, as well.

    We tip $5/day for a room with 3 people. We usually leave it on the vanity where the housekeeper has put their card. That's our standard tip no matter where we stay, Disney or otherwise - unless it's just a tiny roadside motel.

    Just like the other posts....we normally tip $1 per person/per night. For us that is $4 or $5 depending. We also tip each morning as the Mouskeepers may change.

    I don't tip unless they do something beyond making the bed and giving us new towels.

    We tipped $1/per person per day! We did cute
    envelopes and the kids signed them! A few days they did not pick them up so they got a good tip at the end of the week! We left about 3 envelopes that day!

    There are 4 of us and we also tip $5 a day and have always had exceptional Mousekeeping with lots of fun towel animals etc. I also decorate envelopes with cute sayings like
    "Thanks for straightening up the Castle"
    "You make us feel like royalty"
    " You did a Mousetacular Job!" etc. and we leave them propped on the bed pillow.
    They have always been picked up and we have never been disappointed.

    we generally tip a $1 a person per day. Then at the end of the trip if they've done extra special things for us we leave more.
