AH! My kids are going back to school the week before Labor day, but those fares from Boston might convince me to have them skip the Friday of the first week :/Well I just booked flights for Labor Day Weekend! $29 down $89 back from BOS. I couldn’t help myself.

I only just noticed myself this week that Swan was 4* and not 4.5* on Hotwire! Weird.Wouldn’t it be Dolphin since it’s 4 stars? I thought Swan was 4.5 stars.
So yeah, obviously people might want to rethink making any new non refundable reservations for a while.
Now that Disney World is closed ... I think that this may fall into canceling because services aren’t available type thing. I’m not sure of the specifics, but Ive been seeing this mentioned a lot with the cancellation of March madness.I've been trying to contact Hotwire all day and each time I call I get a recording saying they are "having technical difficulties". I think given the CDC recommendation to limit non-essential travel that we should comply. Our trip is in 10 days. We are sad, but plan to reschedule as soon as it is safe. Expedia is Hotwire's parent company and they are allowing cancellations and refunds of "non-refundable/final" bookings. I would hope HW follows suit as this really is outside of our control. I really don't want to cancel---merely reschedule to a later date in the hope that this is resolved soon and hoping they'll accommodate my request. #fingerscrossed

I know the phone lines are busy right now, but try to call WDW wholesale and see if they can contact HW to tell them it is ok to cancel. I did this last summer - had a hot deal and Disney let Hotwire know it was ok to cancel the reservation, so Hotwire did just that. Good luck!this is a mess. my first hotwire hot rate booking I finally got a Disney property. Usually we do the 2 star celebration for 40 dollars! So I am not new to the hot rate at all, but didn't think we would need insurance. We live 3 hours away and I don't want to come since parks are closed. I would rather stay home!
According to the New York Times, refunds will be given ... and according to Hotwire, they will refund if hotel is refundable, even the “hot rate” fares.Yes, but WDW is keeping resorts open until further notice. But.........I don't want to come if I can't go to the park. Time will tell I guess.
Thanks for the info! I'm on it!According to the New York Times, refunds will be given ... and according to Hotwire, they will refund if hotel is refundable, even the “hot rate” fares.

I did the same. I feel like it’s going to be an easy process, but I also know they’re swamped and might take a little while.thank you I sent an email to hotwire to start there.
