We just moved our post-xmas week trip to March. Spent 18 minutes on the phone, which I think might be a record low! Was easy to do and though I’m sad about it, I mostly feel relief.
We are supposed to check in on Monday but now we are having second thoughts. We've got a room-only reservation and were supposed to cancel 5 days before arrival to get our deposit back, but we're 4 days before arrival now. Has anyone had luck canceling this close to arrival date and getting the deposit back? (I realize I could call to ask a CM, but since we're still waffling, I don't want to spend the time on hold till we know for sure that we want to cancel, and the cost of that deposit is playing a role in our decisionmaking.)
Ooh, thanks!If you modify your dates to a future date, you will not lose your deposit.
We have a week long trip planned starting January 9th. Its our soon to be 7 year old's Christmas surprise so I would hate for something to mess that up. When we made our plans, Covid looked like it was calming down some (even though I suspected some increase after the holidays). I'm not going to lie, this new omicron variant has me a bit nervous as to whether or not we should push it out a few more months just to see what happens. My husband is adamant that we stay the course and go as planned. We have stayed pretty cautious the entire pandemic but we have still lived our lives. We plan to drive instead of fly and we will most likely wear masks anywhere that is crowded; both indoor and outdoor. We don't plan on doing any table service meals at the parks (but we don't do a lot of that in normal times either because it takes so much time out of the day). I'm hoping the week we go won't be terribly busy even though the marathon is wrapping up the weekend we arrive. We are planning Legoland on Monday and Disney parks the rest of the week when crowds are hopefully lower. Also, hoping that Genie+ will help alleviate some of the standing in long lines for extended periods. Hoping for the best but also tempering expectations a little bit as well.
It seems like these days that it's a really fine line between being prudent / cautious and living your life to the fullest (doing things you love that give you joy and visiting people you love). And it's not an easy choice about what to do sometimes. Everyone has to make their own choices and live with those.
