My family had a spring break WDW vacation scheduled for the end of March to celebrate oldest DS's high school graduation. Like so many on the Disboards, our trip was cancelled and we were incredibly bummed. Initially, I couldn't wait to rebook and start planning a rescheduled trip. At the end of March, I weighed out the merits of a June 2020 trip vs an August 2020 trip; but as March turned into April, and now April has turned into May, I'm feeling less and less like rescheduling a WDW trip any time soon.
I have such mixed emotions about it all. Disney is our family's happy place, and we were so looking forward to one last trip before DS goes to college. Now, eight weeks into our state's shelter in place orders, I'm just so worried all the time. About everything. About my family's safety. About hubby's job. About our local, state, and country's economy. About frontline workers. About my extended family. About my kid going (or not going) to college in the fall.
Planning a rescheduled Disney trip would normally be just the thing for my family to focus on during this time of uncertainty and fear, but now I'm not even sure when WDW will re open? I know we don't want to go if we can't have the full experience. We won't go if just resorts and Disney Springs are open; we want to ride rides and experience all the attractions and places to eat. I feel that the full experience is probably a long ways away.
I didn't answer the poll, because I have such mixed feelings about wearing a mask. Fundamentally, I have no problem with it. Right now, it's a requirement in our state to wear one whenever we leave the house and are in enclosed spaces with others. My family and I all gladly wear one whenever we leave the house to keep ourselves and others safe. I live in the midwest, and we normally fly to WDW. I need to feel safe flying to even get to Disney, and I'm not sure when I'll feel safe enough to fly again. Assuming I feel safe enough to fly, I need to feel that WDW is safe too. I wonder, if everyone needs to wear a mask at WDW, is it really safe? I just don't know?
It's all so hard to know. I guess all any of us can do is wait, watch, and make the best choices we can for ourselves and our families. Peace be with you all, my Dis friends, during this very difficult time. Stay safe and heathy!
