I love Disney's towel animals. When my dad & I stayed at All Star Music in 2012, we had 2 towel ghosts with pipe cleaners and sticky eyes hanging in our window. It was the cutest thing! I have always appreciated this unnecessary gesture from "Mousekeeping." I told Jim about the towel animals we'd get on his first trip with me last year, and all we got was the Mickey head on the bed (I think I posted a picture and wrote about the lack of towel animals in a previous post). When we returned to Pop Century a couple weeks ago, we didn't even get the Mickey head! Nary a towel animal was seen in our room the entire 7 days of our trip. I was pretty upset. I was thinking of leaving a note asking for one, but part of the magic was getting one out of nowhere, not having to ask for it.
Then I read this: http://disboards.com/threads/no-more-towel-characters.3422508/
It's a discussion board about how towel animals are apparently no longer allowed to be made and left for guests because of a recent survey where people said they'd rather have cleaner rooms than towel animals. Can't someone clean a room and then leave a towel animal? I thought it was part of the Mousekeeper training, in addition to cleaning a room! I'm very upset if this is how it continues. We want our towel animals. Maybe we can start a secret code to let Mousekeeping know it's okay to leave us towel animals, like those pins people wear that say "It's OK to wish me a Merry Christmas!" If I knew how to make pins, I'd probably try that. And we can leave them on our night stands. But if the towel-makers are getting reprimanded for doing that, we still might not get our towels.
