I've read about delivery of luggage still happening, as far as you pick up your luggage from the airport, you bring it to Magical Express - they load it - then at some point it's taken to your room - but are they still delivering (for a fee) groceries to your room? As in - if I order from a grocery delivery service, and it's stored then either I can go pick it up and haul it back or I can call and pay for bell services to come? Is the latter half of that still happening?
We just left after a week at WDW & had groceries delivered from amazon prime & stored with bell services. They delivered them to our room after we got back to the hotel.
 

Honestly I think it’s the right call. We’ve learned a lot more about covid in the last month and it looks like Universal is paying some attention to the enclosed space = bad idea...

Oh, absolutely agree! I've never even been to HHN (loooooove Halloween, though) but it's still just sad to know how much work they were putting into it hopefully happening and now it's definitely not. I appreciate them making this call, though.

And all the jobs lost. It all just sucks. The entertainment industry is getting hit the hardest
 
Jobs these people thought were secured until this morning too. Maybe some had an inkling of an idea, but everything they were doing literally up until the announcement seemed like all systems a go for HHN
Exactly, they were hiring internally for house attendants, my son applied but thankfully also applied for volcano bay lifeguard and got that first. He's gone from performing at the theme parks everyday with ragtime gals, frog choir and British revolution to only performing with frog choir and now part time lifeguard, and he's absolutely grateful to have those now

I'm so sorry for him, but also happy for him that he was able to be put in a spot elsewhere. I know it's not the same, though. :hug:

A job is a job, especially right now, but when your passion is being able to perform for guests and be responsible for the joy that comes with that from both ends, the TM/CM and guest, its just heartbreaking. Those jobs will be back, in time, but as you said, the entertainment industry just cant seem to catch a break
 
They’re starting to solicit in the parks for DVC again. There wasn’t anything on Sunday that I saw while I was in Epcot, but I’ve slowly started to see stuff around the parks and they sent me an email after I got here. They’re showing 2 bedroom villas at select resorts and an offer of a free gift. Saratoga (where they usually take people) isn’t on the list.

The website when you can the code in the parks:

During my stay at the Poly last weekend, I was invited to tour one of the Bungalows (I didn’t) but they showed me the gift was a ~5x7 “lithograph”.

Worth noting these open houses are not with DVC Guides. They are not doing tours at the moment. The open houses of the selected villas are hosted by Resort Ops CMs who basically are supposed to give you a very brief explanation of the functionality of the villa (i.e. "here's how the pull out bed works," "here's where the in-unit laundry is," etc...). If you actually have DVC-related questions or you want to purchase, you're instructed to call Sales while you're in the villa.
