The reopening procedures are going to be especially bad for those of us on this forum.
What I mean is that we are all pretty good at planning, getting optimal fastpasses, booking optimal ADR's, making optimal touring plans, etc.
This neutralizes our advantage. We will now have to "go with the flow" like everyone else. By the time the parks open and people figure out the valuable "tips and tricks," things will be changing again.
Additionally, some of the changes are likely to stick around for a long time, maybe permanently. And without a timeline on when changes will stick/drop. Planning in this environment is going to be even more time consuming than usual.
I have never used an agency like Dreams Unlimited, but if I were going, I think this is the time to consider it.
I have always enjoyed the role of "planner" for my family and they appreciate how much my planning leads to a smooth, fun trip. Their appreciation and joy is part of my satisfaction in Disney trips. My 8 year old complained last year when an expected wait time was 30 minutes, saying, "I can't believe people would wait 30 minutes for something." It was the highlight of my trip, lol.
For me, unfortunately, not having an idea of what is going on or a grasp on expectations just adds to my vacation anxiety. It is hard to imagine booking a family trip in the foreseeable future.
