Mousekeeping

 

You've had a long day at the parks...you're tired and weary...the kids are whinging...you walk up to the door of your room and can hear voices inside...you walk into the room & the TV is on...the plush toys you left on the bed are now sat in front of the TV having a tea party...that's Mousekeeping!!

Disney Housekeepers are well known to rearrange toys into funny situations, or make swans out of towels. Here are some guests' experiences of 'Mousekeeping'...

"We stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort from Oct. 22 - Nov. 1, 2003 and I would like to say it was very enjoyable. Our room attendent was Michele Higgins and she was the best. She made our stay enjoyable. She would greet us in the morning with a great big smile and a cheery hello. Our room was different every day. She would put things in the window and make animals out of towels and face cloths. I will surley be going back to the Caribbean Beach again next year just to see Michele.
I also have to say that Michele does things that other attendents don't. When she had a day off the attendent that took her place didn't do half the things she did in fact the other attendent did the bare minimum." Jean C


"In August 2000, we stayed at the Grand Floridian. My sister and I bought two large stuffed tigers from the Animal Kingdom. We also had bought Disney characters with magnet hands and feet. So, our housekeeper hung the magnet characters from the fan, each holding on to one another by their magnetic hands and feet. She put the two tigers at the bottom, looking like they were fighting each other to get to the characters! It was funny, and we would surprise her with little "motionless" scenes of our own. "


"On our last trip to WDW, we left the room early one morning for our character breakfast. After breakfast, we returned to the room to pick up our stroller, bags, etc before heading to one of the parks for the day. When we opened the door we were surprised to see that my sons' stuffed toys had been arranged in the stroller. Mickey had a baseball my son's baseball hat and sunglasses on and a guidemap under his arm. Every day my kids were excited to see what was waiting in the room. This is a great example of what a special place WDW really is!!"

"While on our honeymoon (May 2002) our "mousekeeper" at the Port Orleans-Riverside hotel surprised us after a long day at the parks. We bought the bride and groom Mickey hats and left them at the room for the day. When we returned we were surprised to find the wedding hats propped up in the window ledge on top of "heads" made out of towels. A rose that a worker at the Haunted Mansion gave me on a tour of the MK was in between. It was a beautiful surprise and a great way to end a great day." Lara R.

"Both these animals (the snake in the Revo sunglasses & the peacock with the dolls) were created by our room attendent on board the Disney Wonder during Christmas 2000. His name is Jaime, he is from the Phillipines, and has a daughter the same age as mine, shown her in the pictures, along with my son. He is on board the ship for six months at a time, so misses his children tremendously. He pampered us royally, from taking care of all of us being severly sick the first night, to making just about everything truly wonderful." Marion


"Here is a photo of our window at All-Star Sports, Nov/Dec 2000. Each time we purchased a stuffed animal, our Mousekeeper would add it to the display she created in the window! Notice how she put a towel over the back of a chair to create a "snow" scene for Mickey and Minnie!" Donna B.


"We stayed at the all-star music resort in november 2000 ,we had a great time,every night when we got back to our room we always had a suprise in our window all the little toys we bought at the parks would all be there to greet us,our face flannels and boxed soaps would also be arranged differently by the wash basin and the tv would be on ,it was nice to feel so much effort was made to welcome us back every night to our room after a busy day at the parks."
