Resort Recreation Activities - How have they changed during Covid?

[EpcotNerd]

Staying at Boardwalk in January, wondering if the resorts still do outdoor crafts, movies, trivia at the pool? Maybe some new "safe" activities given all of the Covid restrictions?

I tried looking for updated recreation calendars for any of the resorts and Orlando Park News didn't have any updated ones.

Any insight?

We stayed at both VGF and SSR a couple of weeks ago, and both had activities on boards or a TV screen. Both offered Movies Under the Stars and pool games/music for the kids. GF also had make a tee shirt one afternoon, as well as kids could color and send letters to Santa! It was really cute! I’m sure there were other activities, possibly even at SSR, but we never made it to the pool in time for them. Have fun!

ETA: here was the activity list at VGF

We stayed at Art of Animation last week, and they did trivia and bingo games at the pool. They also announced outdoor nighttime movies, although we didn't go.

That's good to know. We had a stay-cation planned in January for BC and BW.
It seems weird because we are usually rope-drop to fireworks people, and rarely do anything but sleep in the resort.

For once we figured we would do all those activities we see listed.... but never, ever do. But I could not find an updated list. At the very least, there should be movies shown? and pool games at BC and BW?

From our experience the only material change in activities has been no nightly campfire. To date, we’ve seen a pretty normal variety of pool games, movies under the stars, and an occasional activity such as tie dye and other arts/crafts.

Disney hasn’t restarted publishing the monthly resort activities guides since reopening, so it’s up to whatever they have on site... a board up, asking a recreation CM, etc.

I'm guessing most of the activities at Disney Springs is on hold?
It used to be that most nights we could find free outdoor music, at the Marketplace stage, etc. Good way to relax while the kids are off at the parks.
