So will Disney cancel Aulani trips in August now on a rolling basis and return borrowed points back to their original year as they had been doing at WDW?
I hope this works out for you! I decided to cancel our September trip and now I'm considering March of 2021. But, I'm not too sure about that either. I have banked 2019 points that I need to use up and if March doesn't happen I'll be in a bad way with my banked points. It's so hard to know what to do!https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2020/...navirus-cases-single-day-another-record-high/

Apparently they have not, and that continues to be the concern of many based in Hawaii that there has not been a place implemented to include rapid testing, contact tracing, and hospital capacity. Apparently ICU capacity was at 50% before the surge in numbers. And keep in mind that with virtually no tourism, these increases are coming from locals and their habits. Restrictions are being put in place to try and reduce the spread, including talk of reintroducing the inter-island travel ban.I really hope that had used this time to improve / build surge hospital capacity. Otherwise they are putting all their eggs in one basket (hoping a vaccine will be developed soon).

Contrast this with Vietnam. After months of virtually no cases, there has been an outbreak around Da Nang (popular domestic tourist destination) They also had their first 2 deaths. 80,000 domestic tourists were 'evacuated' back to their home cities, and two field hospitals are being built. The country built some originally as part of their preparations. From what I understand, Hawaii has done little to actually prepare, other than close borders.Apparently they have not, and that continues to be the concern of many based in Hawaii that there has not been a place implemented to include rapid testing, contact tracing, and hospital capacity.

Generally I favor the hosts when people want to cancel for weather and other “changes of plans” since the host can’t control that and they possibly could’ve rented to someone else during that time. However, yeah, when they can NOT legally rent to anyone during that time, seems to me that’s up to some combination of Airbnb and the host to figure out how to give your money back. What if you just said “damn the quarantine” and showed up at their property? Would they hand you a key? If not, then it seems they should refund your money. I know it sucks for the renters but really they haven’t provided, and couldn’t provide, the service you’ve paid for. I guess they’re just banking on most folks giving up and not pressing much. And it’s junk like this that makes me only stay at big chain hotels. Not that crap can’t happen, but there’s a lot better chance of being taken care of IMO. Glad you got some back. Here’s again hoping everyone who had to reschedule CAN at some point (and that things are somewhat back to normal by my 2022 trip!).it is literally a crime punishable by jail time and fine to both the renter and host if I executed the contract
Ahh, gotcha. I was thinking all rentals were banned.In defense of the host, they could have rented to an Hawaiian as inter-island and staycations are allowed.
