Official October 2020 Thread!

You can just tell the CM as you check in that your party is now two not four people. Obviously it’s better to modify the reservation in advance though.

exactly. The system isn’t letting me modify..

My flights were cancelled. I've rebooked, but it has added a day to our itinerary. I think we might go to Hollywood studios. We've never gone there and my 5yr old might enjoy star wars.

Add me to the list of SW flight changed. My flight to MCO has been changed twice, still non-stop (for now). Non-stop flight home was changed to a plane change at BWI, which I ended up switching to an earlier non-stop. I expect more changes in the next months!

Made a few dining ressies, for 2, assuming my DH's trip will be cancelled and he will be coming along with me, all at resorts or DS, no in-park TS plans. Was glad to see Ale & Compass will be open with the Yacht Club opening.

I am glad about Ale & Compass too... that’s a nice option at the end of a HS day for us.

I was able to add 5 days to our original plans of just a weekend trip. I am thinking of moving my park days to the weekdays.. I know HS is at capacity no matter what day but I just want the best experience. Is this a good idea?

Made our dining reservations today. Due to restaurant closures, I had to modify every day of plans except for our arrival day and a day where we were planning Yak & Yeti for lunch and Raglin Road for dinner. I still don't think we'll be going, but wanted to make some ADR's just in case. Doesn't look like much is going to change from now till end of October. The closer I get to decision day without penalty (Sept 24th), the more real it is becoming that we shouldn't go.

 

[NC State]

Tomorrow is our 60 day mark. Can I book all 5 days ADR at one time or will I need to book them as they open?

If you are staying at a WDW property, then yes you can book all 5 days.

 

[NC State]

Yes we are on site but without the Dining Plan I didn't know if anything had changed. Thank you!

 

[Wood Nymph]

Today was our ADR day and I got everything that I wanted, including Beaches & Cream. Not being able to park hop is a big disadvantage, especially since there are so many restaurants in Epcot that we would like to be able to go to.

October 18-22 Staying at Staybridge Suites Orlando Royal Parc Suites ( had IHG points I needed to use) We plan on Epcot Monday, MK Tuesday & DHS on Wednesday Cant wait!

 

[CalSea12]

Well, our Mommy-Daughter trip is back on.... just incredibly modified. We will be spending Oct 17-24 at POP and have made several dining reservations including Topolinos which I am super excited about.

I LOVE the Hitchhiking ghost cinnamon donut holder!

Made our final payment today. I’m starting to let myself get a little excited. Cautiously optimistic.

Right! I felt pretty good and then realized we have 37 more days to get it and be in quarantine when trip time comes around

 

[FRANKTSJR]

I think the travel restrictions will be lifted by October(fingers crossed). For NYS:
This is based upon a seven day rolling average, of positive tests in excess of 10%, or number of positive cases exceeding 10 per 100,000 residents.
From what I'm reading Florida's cases are actually dropping for positivity.

Well, I take that post back. The Covid19 positivity rate is not improving that much at all in Florida. I have until Sept. 7 to make a decision on cancelling or not but certainly not looking good.

Hi friends-
Does anyone know how many days before your trip magic bands usually arrive?
I need some Mickey Mail to brighten my work week!

 

[MamaMeems]

Officially joining the group. October 22-26 at Pop girls trip. We’ve been debating for months and decided that we feel comfortable going.
