At what point do I say 'This is not happening'?

We were meant to be visiting Tokyo this November for our 25th wedding anniversary. Obviously, not happening now and we are awaiting the chance to cancel or postpone our flights.

So we decided we would have a few days in DLP instead as it's our happy place.

So in May we booked Cheyenne for 4 nights, £400 Annual Pass rate. Then booked flights. As we now live near Cardiff, the only option was indirect flights from Cardiff via Amsterdam. (OK, we could have gone from Bristol, but the cost/time of adding on a train journey and overnight stay made it not worth the bother.)

Our accommodation has been changed to Newport Bay at no extra cost as Cheyenne will now be closed. Great, bargain of the year. And even with masks, shorter park hours and restaurant hours, we are OK with all that, we just want to walk down Main Street again.

Then they cancelled our Amsterdam-Cardiff flight. The only other one is earlier, so they moved us to an early afternoon flight from Paris too. But it only allows us 50 min to change, so actually I would rather leave Paris in the morning and have more time in the airport to change. A bit less time on holiday, but hey...

So I thought I would phone and sort that.

Then I discovered our outward flight from Cardiff to Amsterdam has also been cancelled. They have booked us on a later one, but it means an overnight stay in Amsterdam - which is under quarantine so we couldn't go to a hotel, just sleep in the international departure area. Plus, our Amsterdam-Paris flight would now be the next morning, thus eating further into our holiday time.

So I asked about outward flights the day before. Apparently there are none (although the website still shows them).

Added to all this, unless the quarantine is lifted by 15 November we won't be going anyway. We would be able to quarantine when we get home, but we would be travelling against FCO advice and therefore our travel insurance would be invalid. That's a risk I'm not willing to take.

Gaaaaah! I just wanna see Mickey!
