It seems that the resorts themselves and the Parks could certainly let maintenance staff, grounds and houskeepers to stay on perhaps at reduced staff levels but enough to get a jump on sanitizing and refurb work while still practicing social distancing. This would allow for work to be done and workers to be paid vice just shutter it and send everyone home without pay.
