Are you aware that some with underlying health conditions that may not be able to be vaccinated may have hesitation to go back into jobs that expose them with not so smart individuals on vacation ( unvaccinated not wearing a mask )?
True, but I'm guessing the housing problem near the parks paired with the unemployment and a non-$15/hour wage like a lot of the Universal jobs are paying may have more to do with this that the smaller percentage of people to which this applies.
That would be a valid point except, at least in Florida, the extra $300 weekly payments the federal government was handing out for unemployment assistance was stopped last month (governor's choice).
Disney housekeeping pays well above $15/hr.
I had to chase down our housekeeper to give her a tip, as the service was so unexpected that we hadn't left one in the room.
At this point, there is no reason why they can't bring back the full service for anyone who wants it. Unless they are severely understaffed, I don't see why they can't do it. It would be nice if we could customize our service. For example, I would like for them to come in every 2-3 days to just do the trash and to replace towels. I don't need them, nor do I want them to make the bed every day and I am not messy to need any other kind of cleaning. But I imagine that would be really hard to keep track of who wants what.FWIW, we're currently at Universal at the Hard Rock Hotel, and learned to our delight that they've restored full housekeeping services (although guests can request contactless housekeeping if they wish, per Universal's newly-updated housekeeping FAQ on their website). Just one night into a 2-night stay, we came back today to find beds made, bathroom scrubbed, surfaces wiped down, etc. like it was 2019 or something.
Your move, Disney.
Radio is blasting $1000 bonuses for housekeepers job ads, so definitely still trying to get staff up to normal.

Can you opt out of the daily "mouse"keeping and thus waive the surcharge? If/when I go, I am tempted to hang the DO NOT DISTURB sign on my door for the entire time I am there, probably 7 days. I haven't decide what hotel I would stay at and it may not have a housekeeping surcharge.Weather_Lady said:

Disney's "move": "We're excited to introduce new housekeeping flexibility to enhance our guests' experience! Effectively immediately, a nominal $25 daily surcharge assures you "full service" mousekeeping - it even includes making the beds and cleaning your bathroom! For guests who enjoy maximum savings and value, we're pleased to offer a budget-priced option: one set of towels and your garbage emptied for only $15/day surcharge. Enjoy your stay - and have a magical day!
This isn't real.

Sorry for any misunderstanding - I was just having some fun - no surcharges for housekeeping...yet
(But hey...I must be a pretty decent copywriter- maybe I should get a job in their mktg dept. lol)
I should have seen that but with the way some things are going lately I wouldn't be surprised. No harm done.Sorry for any misunderstanding - I was just having some fun - no surcharges for housekeeping...yet

"Premium" intel? I see what you did there (intentionally or not).
