So that I'm clear on this, the attendant is in our room twice daily? I'm wondering if we need to plan to be out of the cabin to let them do their thing to the anticipated level of awesomeness.

Yes they are. We have found, most times, that they will be in the room while we are at breakfast - they keep an eye out for people leaving. Of course if everyone goes at the same time that doesn't work.So that I'm clear on this, the attendant is in our room twice daily?

I don't know of specific pet peeves, but we always make sure our clothes are put away, there is nothing on the beds, and that the desk is fairly tidy.Good question, Mark!
Also, is there anything we should do to make their job easier? I'm assuming we shouldn't leave trash lying around and generally keeping things tidy, but does anyone know of certain room attendant pet peeves or things they like guests to do (in addition to tipping, of course! ?

I agree with everyone, just keep the room tidy. It's what I do in every hotel. The room host/mousekeeper is not my personal maid.
Just so you know, tipping on a cruise is a bit different than a hotel. Unlike a hotel, where you would tip cash daily due to the housekeeper potentially being different, you'll have the same room attendant for the duration of the cruise. Tipping is done at the end of the cruise, and Disney will give you special envelopes to put either your pre-paid tickets and/or cash into. They make it really easy.Is the Room Attendant the only person who is cleaning the stateroom and taking care of our needs, or are there other "housekeeping" people we should be leaving some dollars for daily?
Do we put the cash tips for room service in said envelope too, or is that given straight to the delivery-ee?

I make sure to clear off the bed before going to dinner and in the morning, as I know they will be turning it down/making it up. I also keep my shoes out of their way and tidied, so they don't have to vacuum around them or worse, trip over them.
I also bring something for our toothbrushes, to keep them tidy and enable clean-up around them to be efficient:

When we were there in February, our room attendant told us he had to vacuum the room twice a day......
... If we need more storage space (on the longer cruises), we take the life jackets out of the closet and tuck them under the bed with our suitcases (then we put them back on the last night of the cruise as we pack to go home).......
