August 2021 - Has anyone else booked yet?

[dave]

We’re booked 19th August. Direct flights with VA from MCR using air miles, car hire through DFCH, villa booked and a few nights with points through IHG. Didn't want to return to Florida next year but having trips to LA, LV and NY cancelled thought it would be better going where we know best😬

Aer Lingus cancelled our April flights so took the opportunity to rebook, now going 21st August
So this is our 3rd reschedule, fingers crossed

We've booked Washington DC with Aer Lingus for August. Planned a drive around Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee after a stay in DC.

Hopefully we'll get there.

So many of us are in the same position. I've just secured a new job after being made redundant and furloughed between March and November. I have been on half my usual earnings since March so deciding on a Florida trip in 2021 was carefully considered. Like you, if things don't start to pick up soon we may have to reconsider and move it back to 2022. Fingers crossed for a more secure year ahead. Hopefully we will all make it to WDW to recharge the batteries soon.

I was optimistic but I'm not so sure now.
If distancing and other covid measures are still in place we will cancel.
We are staying onsite for 17 nights and I cannot justify the cost for a reduced experience.

I totally understand this. If I were paying for 17 days onsite I'd be tempted to wait until 2022. We will only be in the parks for about 8 days. Masks and distancing are standard now so although we are hoping they will not be needed, we will suffer the rules in order to get our Disney fix. 17 Nights might get to be too much of a drag if you are constantly having to wear masks and watch out about distance etc. I am optimistic that masks and distancing may have been relaxed a little by August but who knows?

Really positive to see so many here who have booked. It'll be an interesting time planning for this trip with so many things changing as we get closer to August.

Good luck everyone!

We are the same, moved this Aug to Aug 2021 but don’t see us being able to go or if we can then it will be a reduced experience and for our first time as a family not something want to pay all that money for. If masks and other restrictions are still needed then will def move to 2022.

Just booked LHR - MIA premium return for next August with BA for £1700 for 2ad 1ch. I used some Avios to reduce the price but am very happy with it.

Now to decide about booking a hotel in Miami for the night before driving up to Orlando. We've got a cruise booked the last week so will be driving down from Port Canaveral and will look to stop at Vero Beach for lunch.

Hopefully things will be clearer soon.
Our balance is due June so we have a while bit I'm missing all the usual build up to it.
The masks really are the deal breaker for us but I would like to see the return of the parades, fireworks and character meet and greets too before commiting all that money.
