We are now more committed than ever. In fact, we have also now scheduled a road trip to Zion for 4'th of July weekend as well. Utah has had very low case #'s, it's a National Park, no real reason to be within 6 ft of any stranger, and we scheduled this only 1 month out, on 4'th of July no less? Sorry, but you are crazy if you are still shutting yourself off from the world and not taking advantage under those conditions.
It took some doing, but my wife is also now looking forward to the WDW trip too. Reasons being;
- Lower crowds, MUCH lower crowds! I got a Google flight alert this AM for the lowest price I've ever seen - $118 RT from CA. I think that's on Spirit (that's a "no-fly" for us), but still - if ever you needed an indicator of how uncrowded it will be, that is it. I firmly believe that maintaining social distancing will be EASY. I downloaded the SDL app and have been following their wait times - not bad at all. 70 minutes is the highest I have seen - and they still are using FP.
- The kids - Son, going into his Senior year, Daughter 1 going into her Sophomore year, Daughter 2 going into 1'st grade. How many more chances are we going to get? Not many. The kids are eager to go - can't pass this one up.
- WE HAVE TO GET OUT! All of us, you included. The options are go on this trip or more sitting around the house for the umpteenth day in a row - and you are choosing the house? No way. Even Fauci is saying the risks have been way overblown at this point.
Masks - oh boy, the masks. Tired of hearing about the masks. We are making this as fun as possible by making custom masks of our choosing, and putting some thought into the design has really helped us find more comfortable options. Still hate going to the grocery store in them, but now kindof over the mental block that was making it worse. Not gonna lie though, I would not be disappointed if Disney relaxed this requirement by the time we go.
Water Parks - likewise still holding out hope that at least one will be open, but already over the disappointment if they are not.
ADR's - I finally have confirmation that mine are all now cancelled. I have faith that Disney will now make this right.
Finally, if you've been following some of the other threads, you know that I am a STRONG supporter of getting the kids back into school in Sept. with as few restrictions as possible (none would be ideal). That in mind, it would be disingenuous for me to cancel this trip less than a month from the time I want my kids back in a regular school environment. Somebody has to be the first to get back to a semblance of normal, might as well be us.
