Also our return flight price went down and I was able to get 25800 points back. Nice!

I am feeling more optimistic each day, that we will all be there in August. I am ready to start planning again. Fast pass day coming in June. I wonder how they would do fast passes? Maybe more fast passes to allow more opportunity for social distancing?

I honestly believe they will be open. I need the 14 day quarantine to lift as well since we live in NJ (but flying out of PA)

Phase 2 calls for all non essential travel being allowed so I think we will all be okay!

Tom, we need to update our roll call. Our dates are still 8/15-8/22, but we changed hotels, from Pop to WL. Still hoping for free dining so we can swing BC/YC. Thanks!

Well, that is quite possible. I am sorry I missed your post! You have been added to the Roll Call now. Hope you have a great time planning, and an amazing trip!!!

Gosh, and double thank you, because thanks to your post, I realized that I had missed adding someone else's trip to the Roll Call. Sloppy sloppy. I better get myself together here lol.

 

[Tomh]

I'm a March transplant. Our March dates were 3/16-3/25. We were married on 3/14 (pi day ). Our dates were cancelled.

We are now headed in August for a Honeymoon redo!

Aug 8-11 POLY
Aug 11-17 AK Kidani
Aug 17-19 Yacht Club

Got most of my ADRs YAY! Excited to see if I can get my fastpasses! (I know what I'm doing now, so I have a better plan this time around)

Shout out to Cruisin5 for renting me her points and setting up the second chance stay!

I just realized that I had completely missed your post . . . and as a result, never added you to the Roll Call. You have now been added. Happy planning!

Roll Call! We are just a "tad" excited!!
Saratoga Springs Aug 16-23. As long as the Can-US border is open for air travel with no 14 quarantine upon return, we WILL be there!

How are you all doing with ADRs? I know many of us are re-bookers who are planning well under the 180 days. How is it going for everyone? I booked a couple things a week or so ago (IDK time is all blending together), and just went in to do a few more today. I am pretty happy with what we got. A few I couldn't get:

• Sci Fi - any time lunch or dinner on 8/8 - I guess this makes sense because it's a Saturday and also DHS is having extra magic hours that night (supposedly; who knows whether those will stick)
• Toppolinos - couldn't get a breakfast for any time on our departure day

But I was able to get Sci Fi for a different day, so that's fine, and instead of Toppolinos I'm thinking about Boma (though I'm trying to stay away from buffets, just in case, so haven't looked yet). Here's what we DO have:

Aug 3 - 7:30pm SciFi DineIn
Aug 5 - 10:15am Bon Voyage Breakfast at Trattoria al Forno
Aug 6 - 7:55pm 'Ohana -- When I first booked this all they had was 9:25pm but it's my youngest DD's 16th birthday and this is where she wants to eat, so I took it. A few days later I was able to move it to 9:05pm and that was better even though it was only 20 minutes. But today I was able to move it to 7:55pm and that's so much better for us! I'll check occasionally to see if I can move it even earlier but we can definitely live with this time if I can't. Thank You to whoever canceled to make this possible!
Aug 7 - 6:30pm Terralina Crafted Italian -- This is a bit of a gamble for us as we've never heard of it but we love Italian and will be at DS so why not try it.
Aug 10 - 10:00am Garden Grill breakfast

We have a few days without sit-downs but like to have some flexible days, too, so I think this is our plan except for pulling 'Ohana forward if possible, and thinking about Boma. Who knows if these summer trips will happen but I'm keeping my fingers crossed and trying to make some plans when I'm in the mood (some days I am; some days not, which is so completely different than usual when I love the planning). I hope the planning is going well for everyone!

I honestly believe they will be open. I need the 14 day quarantine to lift as well since we live in NJ (but flying out of PA)

Same here -- upstate NY. I've read on other threads that the requirement for travelers from hot spots to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival into Florida was modified recently such that a new Executive Order wrapped it into the Phase 1 restrictions. So no new date of expiration (previously this would have expired on May 8th), but now it will be in effect for however long Florida is at Phase 1. But the up-side is that many who know better than I do think WDW is unlikely to open before Florida goes to Phase 2, so it would all happen together. And, they think FL will go from P1 to P2 in relatively short-term. That part is all speculation, of course, but makes sense logically and hopefully will turn into reality.

I got all our ADRs not necessarily at the times I wanted but ones that are doable. I actually made them before we switched dates because our dates were kind of flexible. We have:

8/28 Akershus 5:10
8/29 BOG 1:45
8/30 Park Faire 4:10
8/30 Oga's 8:35
9/1 Fantasmic dinner package at Hollywood and Vine 3:55
9/2 Chef Mickey's 11:35

I also have similar to 8/30 on 8/31 because I'm not sure what to do which day. I will need to make a reservation for Restaurant Marrakesh on whichever day we don't do Park Faire.

it’s ok! We are all a little off these days!

 

[Ptrejo85]

I’m going to be REALLY sad if EPCOT isn’t open when we all go!! Just wanted to share!!

 

[han22735]

I’m going to be REALLY sad if EPCOT isn’t open when we all go!! Just wanted to share!!

Me too! But I don't see how it would be still closed come August. Fingers crossed for us all!

 

[Ptrejo85]

The thought is that the CP CMs from overseas will not be hired and trained in time for an August reopening, which makes sense, but still makes me sad! My partner has never been to WDW, and I’m trying to get him to fall in love. Not being able to go to EPCOT is going to put a wrench in those plans...Ah well, means more resort time for us!!
