Is Coronavirus affecting your travel plans?

Out of curiosity, what were the dates? Is this a conference that is next week or two months from now, for example?

April 5-8

I just got it too.
So tempting!

I've never gotten one of these! What's the trick?

Interesting... I just got an email from Disney with a unique offer code for $69 per night at All Stars in April / May. Wonder if they are being hit with lots of cancellations. If I didn't already have an October trip booked, I would be all over this deal!

I received one, too. I checked after reading your post. lol I'm seriously considering booking a solo trip.

We are still debating. We have a trip in April. Considering we already have cases in our hometown I almost feel like we are at more risk here! A lot can happen in 4 weeks so taking a wait and see approach. My husband works at the hospital so I’m sure we are at more risk home then in WDW. However I am worried about my dad and mom who will be with us. I’m also concerned about travel. I don’t want to be stuck in Orlando. It’s a long drive to WA!!

Select dates in February for $59 a night. Wow. They've already passed, but that is super low for a WDW resort.

Nothing in my email inbox and I spent a boatload with them last November. They could at least send me a deal!!

Have you ever stayed at one of the All Stars? It says it is for guests who have stayed there in the past.

I still haven't had my waitlist come through for this spring . I'm guessing not much happening with DVC ..at least for now.

No, I haven't. Guess that explains it.

 

[ncmom3boys]

I just checked my inbox and I got a code for all stars too. I have never stayed at an all stars before.

 

[wvjules]

Dangit! I want a code! I stayed in ASMo last May.

 

[MGMmjl]

I got that offer as well for the All-Star resorts. It was the same offer from another e-mail I received on December 13 (with some $59 rates in February).

I wish I knew!
I do have a hotel in my cart that I didn't actually reserve yet for September... maybe that triggered it?

I've had one in there for weeks! For September! lol

I may or may not get a code myself--we did stay in All Stars back in 2017..I did get one for Coronado a few months back.

I went to DLR twice last year almost all my pin code offers and e-mails are for DLR at the moment.

 

[ENJDisneyFan]

No, I haven't. Guess that explains it.

I got the email but have never stayed at All Stars, just FYI

It's one of those great mysteries no one has been able to figure out lol

My company just came out with no unnecessary travel (and absolutely no air travel unless approved), they cancelled all our presence at trade shows and conferences, no travelling to other company offices for meetings. I'm pretty surprised by it to be honest. I regularly travel to our office in NYC, won't be doing that until the bans are lifted.

My husband has a business trip at the end of this month that the dates just go ironed out today for Schenectady, NY. Hours away from NYC but I don't believe his company is restricting any business or leisure travel at this point for domestic travel. I'm so so so glad my husband's field assignment is done. He was in Long Beach, CA for 9 months last year flying back and forth between that and home every 2 weeks for the weekend...that's a lot of air travel.

Our family has a trip to Ireland scheduled for late May. We have not cancelled, but I did purchase “cancel for any reason” trip insurance specifically because of concerns about the virus. We will make a decision depending on developments. From what I read, purchase of those policies is way up!

I’m trying to figure out our hypothetical Ireland/Scotland trip this summer. We’ve booked nothing yet, but we’ve been looking at July. I wanted to get travel insurance because you never know when a family member will die, but I’m trying to roll coronavirus protections in. It’s not me I’m worried about, it’s the outside factors. Like, if the airline cancels my flight (like all the airlines canceling JFK to Milan) because of coronavirus concerns, will the insurance cover that? It seems like no...

ETA: If anyone has insurance recommendations, let me know!

We haven't changed plans. Heading to Dublin in 2 weeks to visit DD20 who is studying over there for the semester.

I'm from Ireland. Currently we have 1 confirmed case, a male student from a school in north Dublin who recently returned from Northern Italy. The school has been closed for 14 days. Our Government has a daily press conference in the evenings, todays one is scheduled in approx 1 hours time, approx 8.45pm Irish time.

I suggest you follow Irish media sources such as the live blog here https://www.thejournal.ie/liveblog-covid-19-ireland-5030884-Mar2020/ and https://www.independent.ie/ for updates about the situation in Ireland.

We are going to Europe in May & June. We have until a few weeks before to cancel and only lose a few hundred dollars. There are no cases in the countries we are visiting, but that can change at any minute. I hate the thought of cancelling and we will wait until the last minute to decide. If it turns out lots of tourist attractions will be closed, I don't even want to go. I am not interested in spending thousands to sit in an apartment. I can sit at home.
