You know what really screws yourself and your family? Unemployment and bread lines
Neither of which would be avoided by taking a 5 digit priced vacation...

I have never taken a 5 digit vacation unfortunatel. But to your point actually someone’s 5 digit vacation keeps many people employed. Airline employees, hotel employees, park staff, etc. Economics, it’s adult stuff.Neither of which would be avoided by taking a 5 digit priced vacation...

Today I called to cancel our trip scheduled over Memorial Day weekend. DVC member services were very accommodating. They Unborrowed the 2021 points and returned it into my 2021 use year in addition to refunding the one time purchase points that I had to use to complete my reservation. It is a bummer that we won’t be able to go on our trip, but feel like we have absolutely made the right decision. Planning to visit in December around the holidays instead if things settle down. Also, American Airlines policy was very customer friendly. They returned our miles and gave us full credit for a couple other tickets booked with credit card points to be used for travel by end of the year. Wish you all get the same kind of treatment all around should you decide to cancel/reschedule.
Cancel now. Even if rates of infection go down this virus isn't going to magically disappear in two months. If you don't care about yourselves care about others that you will be in contact with.
Like Pete Werner said unless they put a magic cure in the water we aren't going to be out of the woods for a while.
I agree with you that the virus is probably here to stay with peaks/seasonal rotations similar to seasonal flu (not to say it’s same in severity just the cycle/waves) I don’t foresee this going away anytime soon hence not making any travel plans for Hawaii or anywhere else for 2020.
The thing that has been on my mind the last couple days...how is it that a major country in asia is resuming some normal operations already? How with 1.3billion people had less deaths than Italy (60 million) or Spain? Obviously many have doubted the legitimacy of those reports before but now I’m wondering, can we expect a 2.5 month lockdown and then just heightened surveillance like them?
