Are park reservations going away?

[correcaminos]

Just asking because I sincerely do not know, other than correcting a mistake, has anyone ever seen MFs go down?

Yes I know OKW did. https://dvcnews.com/index.php/dvc-p...content/2494-historical-annual-dues-by-resort

We have also seen credits when amounts were guessed wrongly

Not often and temporarily…mine have steadily risen over the contract as a whole…which was to be expected…which I did

What is going on this next week that so many parks are sold out?

I wonder if they reduced staffing?
Are local schools done?

It has to be staffing because next Saturday and Sunday are wide open but during the week it is pretty much full

I would agree…save a few bucks and let em wait

What people forget - and forgotten which is why they did it - is the benefit of magical express far outweighed the costs to Disney. I think the first year the cost was like $18,000,000?

Nothing…not when worth Looking at. Penny wise, lb foolish

$18,000,000 is a nice bonus for some exec, though.

It was every other day when we were at Yacht Club last month.

Are we talking about full housekeeping? Or still only fresh towels and taking out the trash? I will be staying at Coronado Springs in about a month and need to manage my expectations.

The room was completely cleaned. Beds made, etc.

My wife read on a Facebook group yesterday that its currently every other day light cleaning, fresh towels, empty garbage, etc... It didn't mention linens.

Can only report on what actually happened in my room…

Of course. Its also a Facebook group so I don't put a lot of stock in it. Just reporting.
I'm happy if they just leave fresh coffee and TP daily.

Smallish update here: they're caught between a rock and a hard place. They realize the shortcomings of the current Park Pass program but they are still quite necessary as they return to normal staffing levels. The program isn't permanent (not at least any where near its current form) but it's going to be a while until it changes. The faster they can hire, the faster it changes. The good news is though, that this will get better.

Yep…the biproduct of Covid lay offs/furloughs are still being felt. The upside is that the headcount in place for the next quarters through mid 2023 are insane.

Speaking with a few of my recruiting friends at corporate they are aware of the pain points.

Disney has been ramping up hiring again as there has been greenlight signals from government and health agencies on the expected return to normalcy.

Sweet. Missed those on our last trip.
