August 2021 Planning - Will we get there?

[act1980]

Who else is booked for August?

We booked flights for March when Virgin were doing their crazy cheap sale, we knew they wouldn't go ahead but booked them so we could lock in the price. Virgin cancelled them last week so yesterday we made the decision to change them to August. We really enjoyed it when we visited last year (despite hurricane Dorian making herself known!)

Anyway, I just wondered what peoples thoughts on August are? Will masks still be a requirement at Disney? Will we even be able to travel by then? Will Virgin operate from T3 (I would like to use the UC clubhouse but won't be able to if they're still at T2) Virgin are currently offering 3 direct flights a day but I can see that being reduced to 2. I personally can't see how they will fill 3 planes quite so soon after all this.

I know that no-one has the answers but I'm interested to know what some of you are thinking? I'm hoping that once this vaccine gets up and running properly that things will start to change rapidly! 🤞🏼

We are booked for end of august. I’ve got my fingers crossed we can go! I have my first dose of vaccine booked in for tomorrow. I am thinking we will probably be able to go with restrictions which is fine with us.

We have booked mid August for Disney, Universal and then 5 days at the beach. We are really hoping that most of the vulnerable folk will have been vaccinated by then and so social distancing and mask wearing will hopefully be relaxed outside and in restaurants etc. I guess that if the choice is between a mask free Europe or a Covid effected Florida we might change our minds and go to Disneyand Paris.

Plenty could, and most probably will change before we have to make any serious decisions. On the up side, Vaccines are being rolled out all over the place so things should start to improve soon. Fingers crossed.

We're booked for 16th Aug.
I'm fairly certain flights will be on by them but I think there will be restrictions still in place.
I can deal with some restrictions but mask wearing will be a deal breaker for us and we've decided to cancel if it's still needed.
As a family of 6 staying on site, we cannot justify the cost for the experience if heavy restrictions are still in place.
We should of gone August this year so I'm hoping things will be better by August but I'm not convinced just yet!

We will go with our masks if we have the vaccine in time no vaccine is our deal breaker

If you are unable to wear a mask, can you wear a face shield? i am medically exempt and Universal has said that I can wear a face shield. Wearing a face covering will not stop me going on hols. the only thing that will stop that is President Biden lol

I think I could manage a face shield better than a mask. Would be good to know this.
