UK-US travel, 2021/2022

We're in MK on Christmas day too. Best way to spend Christmas day in my opinion, we love it!

I am in AK on Christmas Day, hopefully stopping for a Christmas drink in Nomads. MK on Christmas Eve.
Christmas is my favourite time at WDW, because the weather is either pleasant or cold. So much better that hot and humid.

I am so relieved, mum and I are starting to make our dining plans. I am so relieved.

Although I'm really happy about the announcement, the rumoured date is a week too late for me. I've now got to see if Disney will extend my DVC points out as they will burn, I had 2 rooms at the Poly booked for Halloween week.

What's the rumoured date? I've only heard "November"

They’ve extended my expiring points until the end of May ‘22, so shouldn’t be an issue.

My thought too! I haven't seen even a hint of a rumoured date

My flight dates (19/aug - 9 Sept) haven't been released yet but given the prices that I'm seeing for July/Start of august next year, I'm not feeling hopeful that I'll be able to afford them. It may have to be 2023 for us, unfortunately.

really……

I think that the prices will bounce around for a while and then settle to something near normal.

great news!!!! i'm so happy for all of you! when DH told me that Biden had announced this, I immediately thought of all of you!!

and we're happy too. My youngest grandchild's visa to the USA finally was approved after an insanely long struggle (since her father, our son, is an American, they initially refused the visa).
anyway, it arrived today, so all is right with the world!! Our month long trip in July 2022 is a go for launch!!! woo hoo!!

Crikey, that has to be a mistake on Aer Lingus part because they just added flights back on this week from 27th November (previously it was starting mid December) and there is no direct flight on 27th December as it is a Monday and not one of their historical regular Orlando days. It would not make much sense for them to miss Christmas bookings either but these days who knows! I am due to pay balance in next few days so will double check with Tour America before parting with credit card details!

I would have thought that those dates are just referring to the 'offers'/prices quoted as opposed to their not being flights on other dates?

Re Christmas Day in MK - does anyone know if places do 'Christmas Dinner'? We're planning to be in Be Our Guest but feel free to throw suggestions of other options if they do a Christmas Dinner!!
