I'm back from a 2-night stay - standard room in Casitas 4. It was... okay. Not stellar, not awful. My room was clean, but I think they really need to check the plumbing in buildings/rooms that haven't been used since March: my tub/shower only produced a trickle of very hot water, or a full force of cold water - there was no way to make it do a mix. I didn't find that out until I was getting ready for bed night 1: I was only there 2 nights so I didn't want to waste time moving to a new room, nor did I want workers coming in, so I just lived with it. But I reported the problem before I left. Hopefully it gets looked at!
The food situation was not great. Again, for my short say I made it work, but limited menus plus limited locations plus food allergies/special diet would make it extremely difficult to eat over a longer trip. I had dinner at Three Bridges one night and it was weird... they were not seating every table, but the table right in front of me was seated, and seats at the bar right behind me were seated - tables to their sides and my sides were left empty. I'm not sure that's how distancing is supposed to work? But we were outdoors(ish) and we all kept on our masks until we were actively eating, so I guess it was okay. I don't think I'd do it again, TBH, but I'm more risk averse than some. I was able to get a bottle of milk at the gift shop, but they did not have individual cartons for sale. I'd swear the shop had less inventory of food and snack items than it did in normal times, which strikes me as odd, given that the QS options aren't available.
I drove to the parks and didn't use buses, so can't comment on that. Grounds were clean and beautiful, as always. I was - happily! - not charged parking; no idea why, but I'll take it! I really do not love the Casitas section, so not having Cabanas or Ranchos open was disappointing I have another CSR stay booked for Dec., but I'll probably move offsite; there just isn't enough going for me to pay the upcharge for CSR, unless more opens up.
