    Holiday Inn Disney Springs Disney Attractions TV

    It's not often I don't stay in a Disney operated resort however soon I will be at the Holiday in for a few days. Strange question I know, but I love the Disney station that shows the park hours as well as the one that promotes the attractions....does the Holiday Inn show these? I thought...

    New USA travel announcement

    If the Government of Canada will pay me back and refund me for me trip, I'd happily cancel. We purchased our DVC points and booked this pre-pandemic. We've already been told we will not get our money back. Easier said than done to just cancel, as the Prime Minster has stated he wants us to do...

    New USA travel announcement

    I'm VERY curious how this will be enforced and to what extent. Especially in Florida. The governor of Florida is ALL about keeping things open and not forcing many restrictions.

    New USA travel announcement

    Exactly. Which is why I'm seeing it reported elsewhere that Canadians wouldn't have to quarantine upon arrival in the US as long as we show proof of a negative test 72hrs or less. Those who do NOT have sufficient testing would then have to quarantine. It's all somewhat confusing when you see so...

    When do you think you'll be back?

    I have no idea how they're going to implement a covid testing for Canadians flying home. I'm happy to get tested but unless they hace a rapid test at the airport, where exactly are Disney guests supposed to wonder off to to get a test 3 days before flying home? I guess we'll see what they say...

    When do you think you'll be back?

    Apparently the test is just for those traveling to Canada. Not those who live here since they cannot deny residents returning home. Just the mandatory quarantine. Granted so much can change between now and then, so we'll see. So crazy all of this. Maybe they won't even allow flights? We aren't...

    When do you think you'll be back?

    After originally booked for last April and after postponing numerous times, we may have no choice but to travel in February. From Toronto. We're booked at Polynesian for 2 weeks. DVC rental. At this point either we go and be extra cautious or lose everything. We haven't even been able to get a...

    When do you think the border will reopen?

    I'm not at the point where I feel throwing thousands of dollars away is warranted over the risk of catching something I could just as easily get from the grocery store, mall, camping, zoo, protest or anywhere else which is currently open here. I've already been told I cannot get the money back...

    When do you think the border will reopen?

    I just got off the phone with Air Canada. They said they are flying to Orlando and Ft Lauderdale weekly. So I supposed we'll be good to go in September as of now. We have slight concerns but overall I feel safer in Disney World than at the grocery store. Hopefully things improve by mid...

    When do you think the border will reopen?

    I'm not sure what to do. I still want to and feel comfortable traveling September 7. What I'm stuck on is the flight. I don't want to book it and then have it get canceled. Everything is so perfectly planned. DVC rental 2 weeks at Poly. We can fly either AC or WJ. Since we rented DVC points we...

    When do you think the border will reopen?

    We're booked September 7-21st at Polynesian. If we can fly I'm still happy to go as I feel safe there. But I suppose we'll have to wait and see how things go. Things seem to change daily.

    Closed Border DVC trip?

    This is very interesting. We're booked August 28-September 12 on a DVC Rental. Leaving from Toronto. Reserved our 8 days of parks today. While we are prepared to rebook if needed, I'm still happy to go at that time. I was unknowingly waiting for border opening news, but if we can fly already...

    August 2020 Reservations-still going?

    Split stay for 2 weeks booked at Polynesian & AKL arriving April 29. Received my email a couple days ago. DVC rental. Still undecided what to do. Mixed feelings. Will wait until parks open and see how things go from there. We have 8 day water park + hoppers.

    When To Reschedule

    I just had to make the difficult decision to cancel our end of April/early May trip. We are now, tentatively, rebooked for end of August into September. Hopefully we are all in a better place by then.

    Re-booked for Oct. 15-23 & so many questions..Maybe switch to June??

    I think going forward crowds will now be very unpredictable. From virus concerns to the state of the parks to construction to affordability. So many people have lost their jobs and careers. Even schooling could see some changes. There are so many different ways this can go once we begin to get...

    WDW COVID-19 Operational Changes- Reservation System-Rope Drop Procedures

    I think I'll have to do the unthinkable. May be best to cancel my trip for April 25th-May 10th!? What to do? Everything was so PERFECT. All dinning, Fast Passes, etc. It's a crushing blow to cancel but more and more I feel that this just isn't the best time and what needs to be done. Even if the...

    WDW COVID-19 Operational Changes- Reservation System-Rope Drop Procedures

    I've had a rough month and my end of April trip for 2 weeks at Polynesian was my one thing getting me through it. This is unbelievable. Feels like we're living in a movie right now. I'll hold off cancelling until I'm forced to. For me whether I'm at home or in WDW, I have just as much risk so...

    My 60+ day was the other day and I had no issues getting eveything I wanted. Hassle free. Runaway Railway, Flight of Passage, River Journey, Smugglers...perfect! Can't wait. Now let's just hope the parks don't get closed between now and then due to the virus...
