Which resort were you at?

We just stayed 7 nights at POFQ and our room was fully serviced every other day. The only issue was Friday was supposed to be housekeeping day, but we were checking out Saturday. So to be honest I can understand not doing a full cleaning.

On a 14 day trip the promised every other day didn't happen, the room was barely touched, the floor was never swept or vacuumed and the bedding changed once on the 4th day, but, not again. Not being mean to the mousekeeping, but, I doubt it will ever return to the standard it was at one time. And I pulled this out of my sink plug hole on day three when it wouldn't drain. I did complain and was given vouchers for two free QS meals, but, I would rather have had a clean sink.

I so miss this perk of staying at a resort! I rather have this back than housekeeping, honestly (for me, personally).

Side note: Has there been any word on when delivery of items purchased in the parks to your resort will return? It restarted in DL last year, but WDW's website says it's still unavailable.

Many hotels do not have them (anymore). I'm not sure why. Before the pandemic, WDW (and some non-WDW hotels) did daily 'wellness' checks. I don't know if that is still a thingut when it was in place, even if someone put a sign or note on their door, they still came by once per day.

After Vegas incident I read that cast go in rooms to check up on guests.

Problem is there are people who keep the signs up continuously for a week or more to keep housekeepers out.

Hence why do not disturb or room occupied signs exist.

Perhaps, they should have reduced the rate when they started cutting back on housekeeping. No more Disney on properties for us!

That is one way of framing it. When I waited tables, I knew my regulars. Many of them ordered the same thing every visit, but they had different preferences. Some of them came every day because they wanted the social interaction. They wanted to tell me their order every day, just in case they were in the mood for a splurge. Others were regulars because they wanted me to know their order. They liked their coffee a certain way, and didn't want to have to explain it every visit. Some customers didn't want to talk at all. They felt most appreciated if they didn't have to say anything at all. Maybe they had to get to work, and valued efficiency/speed. Hotel staff do not know who is behind door #412. Maybe it is a couple on their - ahem- honeymoon. Maybe somebody has a medical condition and needs to sleep/treat their condition. Imagine having to travel with an expensive/fragile medical device. Disney World hosts many business conventions. The person behind door #412 might be working from their hotel room. There are a range of valid reasons why people might need to use their room mid-day. Opting out of room service might be doing EVERYONE a favor. As a housekeeper, I would not want to walk in on any number of personal activities. if someone did not want me there, I'd want to respect that preference. Often, if I gave my customers what they wanted, they tipped generously, including the people who wanted minimal interaction. Great service is variable based on individual needs.

It sounds like this will be similar to what Marriot does - full service every day at their Premium & Luxury properties (i.e. Renaissance, Autograph Collection, Sheraton, JW Marriott, etc) and every other day at their select brands (i.e. Fairfield, Courtyard, etc). Now Hilton needs to get their act together and do the right thing.

Following the crowd instead of setting the standard - Disney, now more than ever.
