Finally gave up on 2021
After weeks of deliberation and a lot of guess work we have finally given up on sept 2021. It’s a painful decision, it was meant to be our honeymoon 😞 the wedding is still going ahead. We have rescheduled to May 2022. At least we will be there for DW’s birthday. There were many things we factored into it. I believe we have taken away any worry for the rest of this year or at least 6-8 months. Possibly eliminated a watered down experience but the main reason was that we both work together in a reasonably small team. We are not back to work until May 17th earliest. The company have made redundancies and will be reopening with a ‘skeleton’ team so the likely hood we would both get nearly 3 weeks off less than 4 months after reopening is completely unrealistic, I know there are many people in our position but I truly believe we have made the ‘best’ decision. Painful but right decision

I agree, we changed our Oct hol as I was worried about restrictions still being in place and its alot of money to not experience all the magic.
Its awful when you do cancel but still have something to look forward too. |

I feel your pain We are in the process of moving our July 21 dates to July 22
There is just to much unknown to take the risk of losing over 6K Even if we open up everything by 21st June no guarantee that US will open their boarders but if they do but insist on vaccine passports then no way the kids will have vaccine by then Advice I have been given is that if the flight goes ahead then there is no refund if you can’t travel because you can’t meet the entry requirements Decision has been made a bit easier because kids said they would rather go next year when hopefully mask requirement will be gone and things may be a bit more normal Really gutted to have to bail but just can’t risk it Only another 16 months to go😩 |

Exactly this, many tour operators offered this due to the uncertainty with booking.

When its such a special trip, I completely see why you've decided to postpone. We are booked for October and plan to go if we can but its easy to streamline plans to avoid paying over the odds for half an experience if we so wish...honeymoon is a different holiday entirely. It should be perfect, and perfect is different to every couple. You've decided on whats right for you and that won't ever be the "wrong decision".

Yes you do need to be very careful with the T&Cs. I know people always chase a bargain but my stance at the moment is book direct and avoid online flight sellers especially if the price is too good to be true.
One plus about Orlando direct flights that people don't have to worry about is that they are not going atm. My husband's co-worker was booked for NYC at Christmas and just assmed with covid that the flight was cancelled and he'd get a refund automatically. The flight went and he didn't get a penny back even though we're not allowed in. With Orlando direct you only have to worry about yourself not being able to go once flights return. |
