Opting out of housekeeping at WDW

[Rose89]

Hey everyone!

Has anyone used the option when staying on site with Disney to opt out of housekeeping? I know they give you $10 per day but how easy is it?
How quickly do you get the vouchers each day and how long are they valid?
Can you accumulate the vouchers and use them for one larger purchase in one transaction?
How easy is it to get fresh supplies sent to the room?
How often do they come to do security checks, if you're not in the room will they just go into your room, or do they need to see you?

Thanks in advance!

We were atPOR for 9 nights in Oct. There were signs at check in about it and we took the no housekeeping offer. $80 credit was put on our account immediately and we used it to clear things charged to the room. We asked at bell services for coffee/towels as we needed them and they were promptly sent to the room. We had one visit when we were in the room, ostensibly to ‘check the lights’ but it was very quick.

Hi we done this last summer when we stayed in POFQ for 2 weeks ,think we got $200 it might of been more will have to check with my wife, in the form of a gift card to use as we wanted,would definitely do it again.
We either rung down or visted reception to request new towels or bed linen, which was replaced the same day, left our rubbish outside the door or took it to the bins when we left for the parks, we are normally a tidy family on holiday anyway, like to make the beds before we leave so was no real hardship.
Not too sure about security checks, but wasn't aware or told of this.
All in all found it suited us and was a good deal obviously not for everyone.

We did it at POR and it suited us as a family - It was a relief not having to tidy up for housekeeping before we left the room each day, and having cash instead was handy. The credit was an emailed gift card for the full amount, arrived immediately and I used it to pay off room charges (ADR tips, shopping).

A call to housekeeping for supplies was straightforward, everything from soap, coffee to sheets and towels. We left dirty linen and towels and bin bags outside the room each morning for housekeeping to pick up.

My mother and daughter did it while staying at ASM recently. I noticed towel carts by the lifts so you could also just help yourself to clean towels.

Please don't , keep jobs and let's keep the room standards up.

can you opt for housekeeping for some of your stay? for say once a week? (we're staying for 3 weeks)

We did this last year and it was about $60 per week, however, we got a random room visit every day from security, which I understood but was also frustrating if it was late and my daughter was sleeping lol

You can't opt out of the odd day but you can opt out fully after a day or longer.

We stayed in Pop for 8 nights in March and opted out after 5 nights. The Lady on the desk said we couldn't but I knew she was wrong so a Manager engineered it for me.

They offer it as they can't fill the jobs!

Even with a cash joining bonus they still can't recruit enough people.
