Interesting...we have our first DVC stay this fall. I've never been big on tipping housekeepers, probably because I'm a bit of a neat freak when I leave the room having things put away, but we've usually left a fair amount in the rooms at Disney. It makes sense to me that if they are only doing service/towels/trash once a week or so, they shouldn't be getting as large a tip as everyday service.

The only "oops" is I usually forget and end up leaving a larger amount (like $20) every several days instead of a little every day. This next trip, we're also going to leave personalized "thank you" cards from Tagrel.com (or something very similar if my creative DW gets an inpired!).

Any folks out there with CM experience know if mousekeeping is on a significantly better pay scale than waitstaff?
