In hospitality, where much is the same, the difference made in small service gestures.

Apparently, as the story goes, when tracking the satisfaction of hotel room guests, the rooms that had a specific cleaning lady performed exponentially better than the others.

When confronting her with the numbers and asking her what she did different than the other housekeeping staff. This is what she told them.

Whenever the family would leave the room to visit the park, she would take the teddy bears and other toys, rearrange them in front of the television, facing the television, with the remote control in their hands as if they had come to life.

Not only is this bringing the Magic Kingdom to life (triggering the kids’ fantasy on real toys coming to life), it also makes the moment after coming back from a long, tiring day in the theme park a lot easier – kids are way distracted and maybe willing to watch some television, making the bedtime ritual a bit easier.

Since then, this is standard procedure within many Disney hotels.
