They make that much already? Really? If so, then something is up. I could have sworn that I have read that they made a $10 for an hourly rate. $17 an hour is quite surprising.$17 per hour.

$17 per hour.
I agree. And I mean no disrespect to anyone, but $17 an hour, from the get-go, is just hard to believe. It really is.Can I ask where you are getting that information from? According to Disney careers the starting rate is 10.50 per hour not 17, and the sign on bonus is 1,250 not 1,750. That was information from jobs posted just a week ago so it's hard to believe that starting rate went up 6.50 in just a week.
You think? Give them another $5-8 an hour raise to go with that and I bet their turnover would drop drastically. Its just Disney not wanting to pay what is needed to keep the help.

I'm responding before reading ... I think your complaints are all valid, except possibly the towels replacement only because you placed them so carefully folded on the tub. The housekeeper may have be confused about whether you wanted to reuse them or not. We toss the towels we don't want to reuse (which, in our case, is all of them) balled up in a corner or in the tub so it's pretty obvious.

The OP stated that these carefully folded towels were taken away and not replaced. I think that means that housekeeping knew they were dirty.

My Aunt retired from her housekeeping job at WDW last year and was making $17 an hour when she retired. She still has friends there who got notices that starting March 1 sign on and referral bonuses are increasing. Maybe she's wrong.
Ah, that's what I get for skimming the OP. Nevermind then ... it's 100% on the housekeeper and not 95% .The OP stated that these carefully folded towels were taken away and not replaced. I think that means that housekeeping knew they were dirty.
Right, that is what I was thinking. Maybe you must have been in the role for a really good amount of time to be making $17 an hour. I still think if their base pay, starting pay was at least $15-$16 an hour, that would knock a dent in the supply problem. I mean, look at Walmart, starting pay for new employees, $11 an hour. Disney just needs to pony up the money.That certainly makes more sense. So the 17 per hour was her final pay after working for years, not the starting rate which according to Disney is 10.50.
Thank you for clarifying that.
we hung up the towels we were willing to use again and folded the ones needing replacement and placed them on the edge of the tub. .
That is a good point. I just feel like at some point it is going to come back to bite them in the butt.They are quick to raise prices on everything and provide less service- good for their bottom line. I guess they figure- why pay more to the staff? People will come to Disney anyway in spite of all these issues we're discussing. Between all the conventions, school groups, sports teams, and 15s, the resorts will stay booked no matter what.
There is your problem. Toss those suckers in the tub all in a pile. no way to mistake that pile of mess with something neatly folded.
In general, we do not have our rooms made up but once every 2 or 3 days. We clean up after ourselves. have no problem re using towels 2 or 3 times. We are perfectly capable of making the bed each day.
If I need more towels, I will bring them back from the pool or front desk. And there has never been a housekeeping cart we have not grabbed extra shampoo and stuff from.

Don't forget they are making at least 10:50 plus tips.
