Now I realize that their wages are not that high, but thats not my fault. I dont leave a mess, and I would quite happily have them once a week for new sheets .

I will be taking 21 bags of mini haribo and he/she can have one a day.

Roll on the hate coming my way, but I am sure other people feel similar to me!

Mouse keeping is actually NOT a tipped position at Disney so there is no obligation to leave anything. If people do then that is their choice.

Going back to 2012 when the Olympics were on, I took something related to London, some olympic themed and others not, for every day of my stay for my MKeeper. Most things were £1 or so.

It is possible that the mouskeeping population appreciate such keepsakes more than the odd $1 or 2 bucks.

In my list of "Worst people to have ever lived", I've positioned you above Hitler. But only just.

If you also recline your seat in-flight, I'll have to push you down a place.

Dropped a treacle sandwich on my foot, made a heck of a mess. By the time I had sorted it couldn't remember if I had pressed submit or not

We leave $2 per day for 2 adults and 1 child but I am very tidy, make the beds, wipe sink, tie up bags in bins etc so very little needs done

I'm with you on this. It seems some people are quite ocd about leaving tips.

If others want to tip housekeeping then fair enough but I can't imagine anyone is likely to pillory you for not tipping a paid position which pays an adequate salary ( $9-$11 an hour ).

I give a Mousekeeping $1 a day. And there is normally two of us. They get all my change on the last day though!

But if I'm honest, hate tipping. I just do it becuase I feel like it's expected.
