I cancelled my flights too, and added an extra 200 days to my countdown

Changed booking from April to September, but I wanted to stay positive but I don’t think it will happen this year again each day it gets worse , sadly the world is a crazy place at the moment 😞

I was hoping we would still go but I'm not so sure now. We are booked with tui but booked in Nov 2019. I am going to wait and see what happens nearer the time. I was hoping tui would either let us change to 2022 or give us a refund.

I still think we'll be able to travel then, the question is whether Disney will still require masks and lack of entertainment e.g fireworks, parades etc

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 the majority of us won't be offered the vaccine until the Autumn then I'm not sure August is going to work for us. The US may not let us in without one and we may not even want to travel there if things are still bad there 🤷🏼

So we bit the bullet and started cancelling/moving things yesterday. Based on the vaccine calculator we should be fully vaccinated by the end of the year, so we are maybe looking at December instead. We moved our plans from May to Aug last August and another 4 months on are having to move them again. I just hope this time we finally do get to go!

Not sure - we had it in the household over Christmas and my husband has signed up to give plasma depending on what his antibody levels are we shall see with that front. If they are good he will be checked weekly when giving the plasma and it looks like it is robust 8 months later

British Airways have some great deals so have booked an October Holiday (where it looks like we should be vaccinated by) and I am hopeful for that one.

August not so sure - I think if the border is open we will go

I'm looking to go in December too. I'm definitely more optimistic for that trip over the August one. Lets hope we can get there 🤞🏼

We are in exactly the same situation, it's just wait and see. We had our 2020 flights refunded easily enough last year by TUI, but it's a waiting game. It's not easy to re arrange holidays as we are a group of 6, and holidays are allocated at end of previous year for some.
