I have various plan B options I'm considering but nothing booked.
If we can't go to the US this summer I'll likely * transfer my wdw hotel booking and tickets to next summer, * if allowed we will do a 1 week trip to universal in October half term, * if allowed to travel to France then DD and me will do another DLP short trip this summer (we went in August last year after the wdw trip was canceled), * if allowed to travel to countries other than the US in August then the Caribbean is appealing. I've been looking at Jamaica, Barbados or Dominican Republic for two weeks in the summer. As I said none of those are booked at all, just potential back up plans. Last year when the wdw trip was cancelled we did do a 1 week caravan stay in Somerset and while this was lovely it's just not something I'm interested in this year. No reflection on Somerset more a reflection on me...my DS is 17 in August and after cancelling both Orlando in summer and Niagara falls in October last year I'm really feeling that time is slipping through my fingers...I know that we've all lost a lot but somehow time is marching on and this time next year when he's approaching 18 I want to know I've made the most of the last few family holidays we can have together. I'm not giving up on the idea of this summer in Orlando, I'm really hoping it will go ahead as actually next summer I want to do a California trip...

I’m seriously considering booking the MSC cruise. Dates wise I can only book for the dates we would be in Florida so I can’t book it as a backup. It would mean deciding Florida was definitely off the table. Which I am 95% sure of but just can’t make that final decision.

For our plan B last year we rented a cottage in the Yorkshire Dales, it was in a tiny hamlet, pretty much only farms, we took the dog and went round the countryside visiting waterfalls and a few local attractions, we actually really enjoyed ourselves. So we will probably do that again this year.
I wont go back to Florida now until those who have postponed or are itching to book have been and crowd levels go back to normal, certainly wont go if there is any chance at all of having to quarantine on our return (got pinged by track and trace and had to do 3 days indoors, nearly drove me mad) |

Mrs Thorpy has several times tried to get me to agree to book something in U.K. “because it will be all booked up” only to be told it will be ok. I think my plan B is to hide !

If July 17th doesn’t go ahead and we’ll make that decision next week as it’s about the same time as our 30 day window with DVC to not have the points go into holding... we’ll try for the first 2 weeks in September. After that, there’s naff all availability for DVC in October, November and December so we’ll punt for late Feb/early March.
After that, we actually move to Virginia with work in late May 22 so we’ll go then 😂 |

Should’ve gone to Orlando the first 2 weeks of May so plan B was to move it to October 22 which we’ve done.
We’ve also booked 2 weeks in Orlando for May 22 I hope I’m wrong but I’ve just got an awful feeling it’s not going to happen
