Hi we were due to fly today, package holiday with Virgin, going from Gatwick VS 27 leaving 11.45. Checked in yesterday - everything crossed because it all went through, feeling quite excited, then about an hour later got a phone call from Virgin Holidays head office stating holiday cancelled as they were not sending any of their customers out to Orlando due to unsure nature of structural damage etc, the earliest anyone would be going would be the 17th, that was conditional on there being any accommodation as Disney had block booked the whole of Port Orleans to ensure no one could book a room.
We were offered a full refund, move holiday to later dates or book somewhere else. To say we were devastated was an understatement. We couldn't book for a couple of weeks time or even a month as we were on holiday now and work couldn't move holiday dates due to other people being off on holiday. So no Disney for us this year, still really very upset as had , like everyone else, booked meals fast passes the lot. I know what has happened is horrendous to people living out there and yes we do know we are lucky not to be in that position, and you take your chances with hurricane season, but still doesn't stop you feeling pretty upset that you aren't going. Our local Virgin holiday shop was very helpful an did find us a holiday to St Lucia and just swapped everything around so we were not out of pocket in any way and at least we are going away for 10 days but it's not Disney 😢😢. So fingers crossed for all of you that are due to go and we hope you make it ok.

We were told Virgin holidays would hand out disclaimers for anyone that just turned up and insisted on going - basically if anything happened they have no comeback. It's hard to know what to do in these situations. Like I said we were told our package was cancelled. Maybe had we booked everything separately it might have been different.

Hi
Does anyone know if Thomas Cook flight only are up and running from Manchester to orlando? I see there are flights scheduled to leave Manchester today but Thomas Cook website still says planes will fly out empty and bring back those who have been delayed coming home. I don't fly till Friday but it would just put my mind at rest to know Thomas Cook is actually flying people out to orlando. Thank you. |
