Trip planned for April 13th...would you cancel??

[ROKDisney]

Not sure what to do?!?
I wonder what the odds are of parks being open by then??????

 

[fbarker]

I dont think that the emergency will be over. The CDC just came out with a recommendaton that all groups of 50 or more should be banned for the next 8 weeks so that does not bode well for WDW. I am p;ersonally writing off 2020 as a WDW vacation year and will try again in 2021.

April 13th is just four weeks away and this is going to get worse before it will get better. If I were you I’d cancel now, let it go and move on.

I think It would be very stressful waiting til the last minute to see what will happen.

50/50.

No way to know today, until nation sees the virus play out. A lot of unknown factors in your info here, Are you solo, with family, with elderly or with anyone who is compromised? Will you return to anyone who is elderly or compromised? If you or anyone gets sick do you want to be away from home?

I would cancel for peace of mind and reschedule. No reason to put yourself (family) in harm's way if things get worse.

CDC just said no gathering of 50+ people for two months

 

[pigletto]

Yes, I would cancel.

We’re going to cancel our April trip and hope we can do Spring Break next year. This is a serious crisis and it is doubtful we would enjoy ourselves anyway. Our state has shut down restaurants and bars, people are losing their jobs, schools are closed, and sadly people are dying. Our little trip is really pretty insignificant in the face of all that is happening so as disappointing as it is we will celebrate the fact that we have been fortunate enough to have had many wonderful trips to Disney and will likely have many more in the future. Luckily Disney has made it easy to cancel and we will not suffer financially.

Yes, I would cancel today, save the money in case you really need it during this crisis. If you don't need it, rebook a trip when it is safe.

 

[tallguy001]

Yes. As mentioned, CDC guidance is calling for a ban of gatherings for 8 weeks.

I know I'm going to have to cancel my trip starting 4/19, but I just can't bring myself to do it yet. I booked a contingency vacation yesterday for the first week of June. With the virus and the markets, who knows if that trip will even happen. Yet booking it gave me a little bit of normalcy. As silly as it is, I had a happy little moment booking the one ADR I want, Tusker House.

They are sending all of the CP's home. Disney couldn't open by that day if they wanted to

I think they could. All the part timers would actually get decent hours. There are periods of time between CP semesters, and they manage during those times just fine.

Our trip is scheduled for April 18th. We do not plan to cancel/reschedule until we know for 100% certainty that the parks will be closed. We're not feeling confident and are preparing ourselves to be ready to cancel.

 

[GeorgiaHoo]

We've got a trip planned for July that I'm most likely going to cancel. I'd definitely cancel a trip 4 weeks from now. No way my wife would let us go since we've got two people in the family who are at higher risk of serious complications from coronavirus.

I can’t tell you what to do but I would also consider other factors when making your decision beyond whether Disney is open or not. Do you have to fly? Some workplaces are asking people to self quarantine even after domestic travel. Would you want your kids missing any additional school time off if school is back? Will you be financially impacted if non essential businesses close? It’s such a hard choice! I feel so sad for so many affected people right now in so many different ways!

 

[Anchored]

This global pandemic will likely cause a global recession as businesses and schools are forced to shutter.
I would personally cancel all non essentials and save that money for now to see how this plays out

Personally

 

[BuckeyeBama]

Yes - It stinks, but yes.

Took the words right out of my mouth! These are my thoughts exactly.

We’re going to cancel our April trip and hope we can do Spring Break next year. This is a serious crisis and it is doubtful we would enjoy ourselves anyway.

I have a trip for September that I'm on the fence about canceling. Right now I'm waiting to see what happens.

If I had one in April I would definitely cancel.

 

[DGsAtBLT]

Cancel. Free yourself mentally of it, I would be absolutely shocked if it’s open at all in April, May is even questionable, IMO.

I think there’s almost 0 chance April trips are happening. Anyone who says otherwise has not been playing close attention to this pandemic IMO.
