. We rebooked for September. Things seem so out of control in Florida that I'm thinking to cancel again and try for March.
Agreed! We’re in Western CT, and went through the COVID19 surge in March and April. Not as bad as NYC, but still bad, and we stayed at home. Right now our numbers look really good, but it’s entirely because people are taking precautions seriously. I, too, have no problem wearing a mask, washing my hands, and giving a generous space cushion to everyone around me. I give lots of credit to Disney and Universal for enacting and, more importantly, enforcing, their precautions, but the parks aren’t open 24hrs/day and the community spread is too high for me to be able to go and relax now.
We're going to POP on the 8th of Sept. Disappointed that the shows aren't happening....but I feel WDW is going "over and above" to make it safe. We're all positive for antibodies.....which makes the decision to go much easier....but I'm in that mindset that believes we have to figure out a way to move forward...can't live in a bubble forever!! Hope it all works out for you!

Yeah, it's not bad for people to wait it out closer to the date. Many trips don't have that flexibilty though.
You need to trust your own analysis. “People” have a plethora of opinions. And then in 2 months you’ll find yourself wishing them well on their trip to FL... If you will worry and stress about it for the next couple months keeping it might not be the right call for you. Sure everything might be great but if you need a 3 week vacation to come down off the extra stress having the trip booked put on you for the last 3 months it’s not worth it.We are DVC so definitely time limitations. Need to bank points. Cancel flights etc. I’m still waiting this week to decide but when I think of having to get on a plane and get in elevators at airport and hotel I get worried due to Covid. I’m paying attention to what people are posting but people here say we are crazy to even think of going to Florida!
That’s why I LITERALLY said unless you need to make a call now for whatever reason.
It's complicated and you hit the nail on the head with stress. Most people from my area put alot of planning into a trip. Getting time off of work, adjusting schedules, changes with kids/school, pet sitter, flight, rental car, resort, tickets, quarantines, experience, other deal breakers, on and on. Refund deadline plays its part but often it's just one detail among many. The stress of juggling all these details and cutoffs around several uncertainties hanging overhead can get too heavy. If they're down to a slim chance of making it a go then maybe it's just not worth wasting the mental space to carry it anymore.That’s why I LITERALLY said unless you need to make a call now for whatever reason.
You’d be amazed at how many people are cancelling who don’t need to make a call right now and then regretting it like a day later. I think it’s a mix of stress + panic doing it to folks. OP has to make the call now but I’ve seen too many DIS cancellations who didn’t have to make the call forcing themselves to make one right now
We are DVC as well. We had a DVC trip planned for October and cash trip for December. I had until July 31 to bank points so finally made the call to switch the two trips. This way, if things aren’t improved by October, I can cancel and not lose my points. Airfare is SW so I won’t technically lose that either unless as long as we fly by May. It just feels less stressful now.We are DVC so definitely time limitations. Need to bank points.
