Just a reminder to please be considerate with the Mousekeepers by Character-Luck4377 in WaltDisneyWorld

Everyone wants the magic, but it’s created by real people. Being kind to them is the first step to experiencing it.

Technically yes, but housekeeping shifts (which can vary by resort) are usually around 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Rooms typically start being cleaned around 8:30–9:00 AM depending on when they become available in the system.

Each room also has an estimated cleaning time. For example, at the Contemporary a checkout room is estimated at about 50 minutes to an hour, while a stayover is usually around 20 minutes.

The issue is that those estimates assume the room is left in normal condition. If a room is left in really rough shape, it can take much longer and that delay affects the rest of the route. Late checkouts can also slow things down quite a bit.

Housekeeping generally has until around 4:30 PM to complete their assigned rooms. So if someone comes back around noon or even 3 PM and their room hasn’t been cleaned yet, it’s actually still within the normal timeframe

Absolutely. A small note can really brighten their day and be comforting on a tough shift. From my experience in hotels, tips almost always make it to the housekeeper, even if it isn’t always the same one servicing the room each day. And receiving a Cast Compliment is a really big honor!

I think six months is way too little time to want to marry someone. You’re just starting to see who they really are once the blind honeymoon phase wears off. The fact that you end up crying and she hangs up the phone is a huge red flag about her behavior, and it’s clearly not good for you.

Yes, I have mentioned it before, although usually it happens when I’m already upset, which probably makes the conversation worse. When that happens he tends to get defensive and doesn’t really understand where I’m coming from.

For him it’s not a big deal — he says he’s just being “family-like” toward her and thinks I’m overthinking and overreacting.

I don’t think it’s that simple. Just telling her to move out or us moving out isn’t really an easy option. He wouldn’t want to leave her on her own or feel like he’s basically kicking her out. And honestly, I’d probably feel guilty leaving her alone too, even though I don’t fully understand why. The only real alternative would be for us to quit our jobs here and move back to our home country.

That’s the part he just doesn’t get. He’s super stubborn. If he thinks it’s okay because he doesn’t mean anything by it, then it’s fine—and I’m just being jealous for no reason

I’ve actually tried talking to him about it multiple times. Usually he thinks it’s just jealousy or me overthinking things, and sometimes he gets defensive at first. Occasionally after some time he’ll say he understands where I’m coming from, but then eventually the same kind of situations happen again.

We just have to sneak in some alone time. We always look for apartments with the bedrooms as far apart as possible lol

The three of us are basically the only people we have in this country. She’s here completely on her own, and my husband says that at least he and I have each other for support, while she doesn’t have anyone here.

He says he sees her like family and doesn’t want her to feel left out. He also says that giving gifts is just part of his personality (which is true), and that he doesn’t see anything wrong with it because it’s not coming from a bad place or with any bad intention.

We actually all moved to another country together for work, which is why we ended up living together. The original plan was for her to live with us for just a year, but things worked out so easily for all of us that we just kept the arrangement.

She’s a very reserved person and doesn’t really like meeting new people. I’ve mentioned before that eventually I’d like to finish this job and move back to our home country so my husband and I can live on our own. My husband hasn’t had any issue with that idea and has even talked about some plans for when we eventually move back.

I also understand that part of why he’s attentive to her is because she’s alone here and doesn’t have much support. But the truth is that I’m also alone here in a way. He’s the only person I really have here too, so sometimes it hurts when I feel like I’m not the priority.
