We've never had a towel animal never missed not having one. I do however enjoy coming home to find the kids toys sat in interesting places.
I hope people realize that any towel animals they recieve were created and PAID for my the Mousekeeper. They actually have to buy all of their own supplies and washclothes for these. I would hate for people to expect someone to do something with their money. You never know what their living situation at home is like and if they can afford to create towel animals!
And a general question, here...
I know I'm an unsophisticated guy from Oklahoma, but what's the big deal about turndown service? It takes all of 10, 15 seconds to turn down your own bed, why do you want some stranger to make a special trip into your room to pull down some covers?
Am I missing something here? Mind you, I have never experienced turndown service so maybe I don't know what the thrill is.
Please educate me; I may want to insist on it when I check in next time...
I'd like to know, too...I've never stayed anywhere that provided turndown service either, so maybe I'm just missing something???
They basically get your room ready for bedtime.
In the evening housekeeping comes in refreshes the towels if needed, empties the trash and folds down the blanket and the sheet placing a chocolate on the pillow. They also close the drapes, turn on the tv to soft music, lay out a robe on the bed and give you a note with the next day's weather forecast.
The level of service depends on your housekeeper. I find it a nice extra touch since we are often hanging out in the room in the late afternoon after the regular housekeeping has done their job. I enjoy having the room refreshed again before bed.
I agree. Furthermore, what can we expect when Disney management took the initiative to outsource the housekeeping staff.
We did not get any towel animals. Heck, I didn't even know they existed until I found this board.
You poor, sheltered thing! (Thanks for giving me a good laugh today!)
