Complimentary Coffee?

[forevermickey]

Good Morning All
We are checking into Animal Kingdom Villas tomorrow; we are staying in a Standard Studio. Will I be given complimentary coffee? I know they give you coffee when checking in for a regular resort booking, was wondering if it is the same for checking into a vacation villa. Should I bring my coffee filters? Sorry for the silly questions... but coffee is an important food group of the day for me

It is not enough. They only give you like two packs, and one of them may even be decaf as I recall. Do not count on this route to get your day going.

More can be delivered to the room, but they charge. We always bring our own grounds.

nope, they give you a little bit of normal run of the mill coffee. they will not compliment you in the least or tell you how nice your purchases are. truthfully I just think the coffee is just jealous it doesn't get to go to the parks.

REALLY??? Do they charge because you are renting a vacation club villa??? They have never charged me when booking a room through a regular booking?

it does seem like things run way way different with DVC. if I'm not mistaken I think I read somewhere like housekeeping and new towels are like once every four days or something too. (won't be staying at DVC myself for another week so I have no idea, although I'll be staying at the same place as you when I go. well not te exact same place, that would be creepy, but the same resort!)

I know this is silly.. but little things like that just turn me off to a vacation club stay.. pay for extra packets of coffee... I don't usually need xtra towels .. but what if I did.. would I have to pay for them?

Talk to your Mousekeeper - they'll hook you up.

I brought down my own coffee and filters, figuring I'd get some milk at the general store. Great idea - except that the coffee maker wasn't compatible (they're all pod-based nowadays). So I asked my Mousekeeper for "some extra coffee" and she totally did me a solid. Two little pods just isn't anywhere near enough.

It also works if you give your mousekeeper a bit of an extra tip .

wait.......why the quotations around "some extra coffee" is that what the kids say now a days? I thought it was "extra sugar" but then you went back to talking about coffee. IM SO CONFUSED!!!

Heh. Well, in this last case it amounted to one of those clear plastic garbage bags with at least a dozen packets of coffee and sugar/creamer.

You'd need a much bigger tip for what you're thinking.

Are you staying on points, or did you just pay cash for a villa through Disney? If you book through Disney the housekeeping should be the same as a regular room stay. If you use points it's every few days.

If your paying cash for the villa as opposed to being a member of the vacation club they replenish the supplies in the room daily. If your a vacation club member and paying for housekeeping during your stay they will also replenish your supplies.

I've always had daily housekeeping when staying in villas. It's the time-share people who don't get it.

I have never had a problem getting more coffee from housekeeping. I just ask on my daily note that says, "Housekeeping tip." I once had a housekeeper not take the tip, so I always leave a note, now.
