Well I hate to say it, but I can confirm the article talking about the decline of custodial and other support staff. The bathroom cleanliness at the parks declined through our stay. And we didn’t even get housekeeping services at the Grand one day. Had to go track down extra towels, etc. Not a huge deal. But it was different and noticeable from previous years where multiple park toilets weren’t clogged with waste and trash wasn’t always overflowing. If they reduce more staff, I can’t imagine how hard the CMs who are left will have to work to pick up the slack.
I too am wondering if they are going to unblock APs...we are trying to squeeze another trip in before official blackout ends, so selfishly, I hope not!
