The International Work and Travel Program is still in tact.
Usually the students from the Asian countries work from March through June and then the European students come in from June through September. I have a friend from Thailand do this program five years ago for two consecutive years. She was done by mid-June and when we helped her move out of the International Housing Village each time, there were a bunch of European students moving in. So right now will be a transitional period between the two groups.
Also, with all the local public schools out for the summer, you'll definitely see more locals working at the park.
Ate there once and had the lamb (very good and well seasoned), while eating I noticed that the fountains at the theater were on and running and sitting near them put me in a good mood (though I hope that the waterfalls will return someday). I wish the lines were a bit more organized though and not as slow.
I love looking through the windows and waving at all the cooks.

So, I was browsing DoorDash today:
Naturally, I placed an order.
Sadly, it was canceled after about 10 minutes. Interesting development nonetheless.

Update:
After my order was canceled and refunded, the restaurant was switched to ‘closed’ status.

It may be faster to get a pizza delivered from there than it is to wait for one. They are always SO slow making the flatbread pizza.
You'll know if it's via the park when the Door Dash driver pulls up in a parking lot tram. ?
Because the park would never mess something like that up right?
Sometimes these delivery companies add restaurants that they find online where the driver will pay with a debit card issued by the delivery service. If bots or foreign contractors do this, the fact that it’s in a theme park might be lost.
Grubhub adds restaurants without their consent. Probably same situation.

The practice is angering some restaurant owners.

Just FYI for anybody who may have known him. Steve Riddle, one of the chefs passed away this week. I always knew him as the gentle giant. He could always see the good in people.
I know that the make-your-own cannoli station is currently closed, but has anyone tried it? How is any of the dessert at Marco Polo’s?
I was at Marco Polo's last Saturday and found that they currently running a severely reduced menu compared to before Covid.
Missing items:
-Mama Stella's Sampler
-Italian Sampler
-Beef Cannelloni
-Eggplant Parmesan
-Rotisserie Chicken
-Rotisserie Lamb
-Rotisserie Beef
-Roasted Potatoes
possibly some others. Not sure if they had the salads or not.
They also had all the soda machines covered up and only bottled drinks available.
I hope that is just due to the limited number of guests right now and not a permanent change.

I'd noticed the same thing, since they opened back up for limited time events. I was hoping that they might have expanded their menu last weekend, but I, too, was disappointed. Not having the rotisserie is a huge downgrade, in my opinion.
Marco Polo's isn't even worth it without the rotisserie station.
