That decision is up to the OP. We have kept every check in thread for this year open right up the last day of each month so that every DISer in each thread had a place to go to ask questions, get answers, and find a virtual shoulder to cry on when needed. While it would have been much easier to shut down the threads, I'd like to believe that a few DISers found the help they needed. And not everyone has a trip planned for the parks now -- some people are planning quick getaways for DTD (some for Dapper Day) and Knott's.So sad, but true.
I'm still hopeful that maybe Disney will choose to do a Food Festival like Knotts, open the hotels, or something that would allow those of us that want to drive to a staycation that is more than DTD might have other options. Given that they accepted yellow and didn't ask for a delay of the release of the guidelines, maybe they will take a Plan B seriously.I'm going to hold out some small shred of hope for the November peeps. I'll keep this open for now.
So good to see you! Hope that you and your son are hanging in there and doing well. And I'm glad you'll be keeping this thread open. Who knows what could happen between now and the end of next month? At least we all will have a place to wish each other a Happy Thanksgiving!I'm going to hold out some small shred of hope for the November peeps. I'll keep this open for now.
I did something similar - I had a reservation at VGC for 11/23-11/27, and I was able to cancel that and get my points that were banked from 2019 applied to my previously existing Beach Club reservation for April 2021. That's 98 points I'm no longer in danger of losing.I have jumped off the Coronacoaster for November and I saved my DVC points (more or less). For my 26 banked AKV points, I gifted 24 to a friend and made her an AKV reservations (originally SSR, but was able to get her AKV this AM which she prefers). For the 11/18-20 reservation, I had emailed DVC and copied a high up person with my concerns, and got a call from the supervisor team. And they were able to do some magic. My 30 current year points were banked to next year (heard they had stopped allowing late banking so this was a major relief) and then the 10 2018 banked Dec UY points were put on a March 2021 Boardwalk reservation. So essentially, I am only losing the 2 points. Huge weight off my shoulders.
This superthread has all the recent Information on DTD: Get Excited: Downtown Disney Has Now Reopened Superthread!. Keep up with it, especially as you get closer to your trip dates, so that you will be aware of any changes or new rules. Right now, DTD parking can close (and pedestrian access can also be paused for certain periods) to control guest capacity. That information is in that linked superthread. There really aren't any views from the street ( I assume you mean Harbor or Katella).Called to cancel our 11/4 - 11/7 PPH this morning. Wanted to start the refund process. Now I'm intrigued by Buena Vista street opening and wondering if that's worth the drive up to walk around. I need to check the boards, but does DTD close for capacity? Or can we leisurely show up? I"m not too familiar with this DCA. Are there any views to see from this street?

Was there an announcement on 2018 points being extended past November?
Well, this happened!... Who knows what could happen between now and the end of next month?...
Anything going on there 11/5-11/7?
