I almost started the exact same post today . I accept this as the new reality 90% of the time but every once in awhile it really drags me down for a day or two .Nothing booked, but I am open to the idea if things improve. I don't really plan to go until 2022 or 2023 because I don't think it will be the same experience, and safe, and all of that, but oh I would love to book and plan something for 2021.
I think I'm in a down phase, sometimes I'm ok with all the restrictions and "covidness" of life, but then sometimes I get very down on it all and just wish for life to be normal again, that's where I'm at so I want to book a trip and be able to live life normally. I do not want to go to Disney and not be able to enjoy a full experience though.

We had been planning a disney/Universal trip for the youngest's graduation gift in 2021. So right now, we are in a wait and see what happens mode. So we will keep collecting points and AirMiles, like we are going. It is just such a gong show down there right now, I sure hope that they can get their situation cleaned up on a bunch of different platforms ( virus, political mess, rioting and safety ) We were not planning to do a trip until late fall anyways, so they have a little over 12 months to get their act together, for us to feel safe to travel there.
I am in the same situation, our trips are October and December of this year but for disneyland. We paid with gift cards as well so I am thinking of just keeping the tickets since the dollar value doesn't expire and then trying to move out flights out for the following year for 2021. I haven't cancelled the flights yet because we won't get any cash back anyways so really there is not a rush.I moved our August 2020 trip to August 2021. I paid everything with Disney gift cards so figured might as well transfer the fully-paid balance to next year. At least that way I wasn't getting it back in CND on gift cards, just to have to change it back to USD.
We are supposed to be there now, it hurts! lol
But I get a little stomach sick everytime I read people who say that next year will be nuts and so crowded. Sigh
