If only the parks return to pre-pandemic state, and the remaining "temporarily unavailable" items were brought back.

Will the signs at the resorts be removed? This was taken last week.

Housekeeping plz.

Interesting......as we head into fall in a month or two, I figured they'd leave things up till Spring. Looks like WDW has moved on and has no intention of going back to any restrictions.

Housekeeping plz.

Oh no, that is now a post-pandemic efficiency gain. I mean just because the Motel 6 on 192 has daily housekeeping doesn't mean a $800/night deluxe needs it.

I'm sympathetic to the "we're trying, but muh labor shortage" argument, I just want them to say it. "This is a health and safety measure" is just a lie.

Removal of the hand sanitizer stations is idiocy. Forget Covid, these are just useful to combat a host of "spread by contact" oral/fecal illnesses, and the fact that they were constantly empty by the end of the day indicates people were using them.

Dude. Just wash your hands.

I'm assuming the covid acknowledgement check off box will get removed when making your park reservations too?

Labor shortage is a big part of it in the hotel industry. It’s slowly coming back. But one cannot deny even the big chains like Hilton and Marriott are still struggling to fill positions.

There's no ROI in hand sanitizer... unless you're selling it at $1.00 a shot. Watch out for hand sanitizer stations with MagicBand™ readers attached!

HA! They're never getting rid of that. How else would Disney push people to the parks Disney wants them at to spread crowds instead of overloading some while others are under capacity.

Will they be changing the vaccine requirement for cruises? Especially children.

I agree, the hand sanitizer dispensers were a nice touch. I know of a few smaller parks that had these even before the pandemic. It was a nice touch that was customer focused. This is purely a cost savings thing.

And yes, I wash my hands as often as possible, but it was always nice getting a quick squirt while exiting an attraction. Who knows what kind of bacterial filth is all over the lap bars, Toy Story Midway/Buzz Lightyear guns, etc.
