I'm the same regarding booking parks. Really not sure what to do! I wonder if by them park reservations will even be a thing?

What made you decide to cancel the cruise? We're on the fence with it to be honest. Would love to go but can't see how it would work with social distancing. Can only hope that the world will be a different place by then, it is almost a year away so I'm keeping everything crossed!
Any trips for Christmas Day? You sound like a pro!

Relaxing at the Grand Floridian

We stayed in 2016 so preskyliner! I am so excited to go back I have purposefully booked a 5 sleeper room so I don’t have to share a bed with one of my children! I booked direct with Disney then flight separately so hoping it will be easy to move if necessary 🤞. So happy that park hopping is back as we are hoping to go to Epcot in the evenings to eat around world showcase... I say ‘we’ but the children don’t know I have booked yet I am waiting until the flights start going before I tell them. We are currently having lots of conversations along the lines of “if we go at Christmas what park would you think would be good to visit on Christmas Day” hoping I can keep it quiet long enough 😉

We are looking at Christmas as back up as the worry about August starts to set in! I still cant get into full planning mode for that either though as my 3 'kids' are all uni students and the virus ended up changing their timetable to exams in January. If that happens again (and we wont know until summer likely) then dates would need changed and perhaps only myself and one other would travel. Also my DH is not keen to be there at Xmas at all and even though I have always been mad to see the decorations, and maybe this year is my best chance!, early December would have suited me fine. Dont feel I can head off to Florida in December though if the kids have exams then instead lol
Anyway I have put a deposit down on Coronado Springs tower room at the moment and will change it if maybe rooms release at other resorts say Port Orleans and tweak the dates if maybe even just myself and DD go. Will keep an eye out for flights in next few weeks, again on deposit basis. Hopefully could walk some deposits forward to 2022. I just feel Christmas is so busy that waiting til later in the year to do anything could see us priced out Edited at 12:05 PM. |

Were you there when Banana Cabana was open? We really loved that place! 🤗
I'm really happy about the park hopping too. I've seen recently that people are visiting 4 parks in one day. Not that we would do that but it's nice to have the choice!

We're also booked for August. Hoping that one goes ahead but I'm still feeling a bit twitchy about it. I have positive and not so positive days if you know what I mean.
I haven't actually been at Christmas but I've been in December. The decorations are really lovely and the life-size gingerbread house at GF is definitely worth a look. The smell in the lobby is amazing! CSR is lovely, the new Three Bridges bar is really cool, you'll have a great time

Yes I think it was (I remember the name and it was before all the refurbishments, May 2016) I remember sitting in the bar at the end of the day while the children watched movies under the stars. My children want to try 4 parks in one day ‘if’ they get to go back, they currently spend all of their spare time watching Tim Tracker and PC Dev and imagining what they could do if we ever go back!

Can’t help with Christmas Day I’m afraid, have never left the villa, always had a full Christmas dinner, tv and swimming that’s all we do.
I cancelled the cruise based on value, when you take into account excursions, drinks and tips etc were at nearly £1k a night 😬 I thinks it’s really worth it in normal times but I just can’t justify the risk it’s not normal, I won’t pay that kind of money for even 90% of normal. I was going to hold out and see but some good flights came out that would mean it’s too close to take the cruise (flying the day before) so that kind of made up my mind. |
