Awesome!!!I just got an express deal for my pre night hotel for the Westin in the Denver International Airport! Score!!
Quick question for everyone - is anyone getting cold feet due to Covid? I am 2 weeks away and we haven't gone anywhere other than the grocery store since March. So, our trip is a bigger deal than usual. I'm getting some "You are crazy" responses and of course it's making me doubt myself.
I am not into popcorn so that won't be a problem!I was there with the wife the week before they closed for COVID, there's no way the parks are less safe NOW than they were THEN and I did not really feel unsafe then. Just practice social distancing as best you can and keep your hands clean and you'll be fine. Truthfully, the hand thing is the most important. Still now, I guarantee you there are people going into WDW restrooms and "peeing and fleeing" without washing their hands.
Oh...And avoid the popcorn. You'll touch a thousand things between the handfuls of popcorn you shove into your mouth. That's just not good...Buy the bucket if you must, but leave the popcorn for the ducks and birds.

Not at all but totally understand having concerns. We've been twice since reopening; July and September. We had a great time both trips and felt extremely safe; we also did Universal in June a few days after they reopened and I'll be back there for a couple days in Dec. for work. I will say neither DH nor I have issues quarantining when we get home for work (we're in NY so it's a thing right now) and we do go pretty much everywhere we want at this point. I know folks who are much more cautious than we are who have also gone to Disney since reopening and ended up glad they did! The one thing that can be difficult is to 100% of the time be 6 feet from others but it's fleeting when we have been and we just always tell ourselves we'll remove ourselves from any situation that makes us feel unsafe but it hasn't happenedQuick question for everyone - is anyone getting cold feet due to Covid?

I've been back and forth on going, especially since my kids are just getting back into the school buildings. DH is all for it and said nothing will stop him. He works in the largest factory in the area and things have been fine there so he's pretty relaxed about everything and ready to travel. I've had 2 different doctors tell me go for it and just wear the masks and do hand washing and we will be fine. I am just ready to get away and go somewhere! This year started off with me recovering from an emergency appendectomy that occurred Dec. 23 and now will be ending with me recovering from a hysterectomy - which is scheduled for mid December so my doctor even told me no worries about going, to go and relax and enjoy. I'm sure once we get there I will be glad we went.
This is my big fear right now as well! With having 2 kids back at in person school now, I am hoping we won't have to throw in the towel last minute due to close contact exposure or worse yet, illness. My youngest had to transition back to remote learning just last week due to close contact with a person in his school who tested positive. We are all so ready for a break that this would be pretty devastating since we would have to wait until spring break for a reschedule.19 days and my biggest fear right now isn't getting sick FROM Disney... it's getting sick BEFORE I leave for Disney. I am trying to stay home as much as possible between now and the day I leave.
I am in NY as well so I appreciate your feedback. We have the return quarantine covered although it stinks to keep my 1 child out of school 2 days, but that's the only in-class time she will miss. Considering they do 3 days on the computer with no live instruction, I am not too worried about it. We have been rather conservative during the whole ordeal so it's sorta like pulling off a bandaid, but I feel like I wouldn't go anywhere other than WDW. I have read the reviews and seen the vlogs, etc. I know they do as good a job of keeping everyone safe as any place in the country.Not at all but totally understand having concerns.

Thank you! I do have my Sept TR started as well but not linked in my signature yet if anyone wants to read it:CruellaNY has some great input and her TRs/Food report do give some level of comfort for those that may feel cautious. MrsBooch is spot on.
Good idea! That's a good mindset to have; just remove yourselves if you feel uncomfortable. And for those staying on property mini golf is open and is a pretty socially distanced thing all the time! Resorts have been showing their movies on the lawn too so that should continue into November and is another evening option. Even pre-COVID this never got too crowded.but in case we decide to limit our park time, I wanted the kids to have resort options (this resort includes: 8 hole course, 5 hole put-put, water sports, bikes, etc.....and it is in a private area).
Three if you count UNI in June! Are you in NYC? We're in the Hudson Valley and our school district is also currently 2 days in person and 3 remote for elementary with jr high and high school FINALLY going back in person 2 days in early November.I'm happy to hear you have already had 2 good experiences this year. Wish me luck!
