You'll have to have a treat for me on the 23rd, that's my 60th birthday !!We're planning for November 22, 2022. We were supposed to go this year but even thought I've been vaccinated my family hasn't yet and I just don't think everyone who wants to be vaccinated will be in time for our trip. It's okay thought, it just gives me more time to plan our trip. This one will be the first time for my two grandchildren who will be 6. Most of the family is going for this one. And I'll be honest, it gives me something to look forward to at the end of all this.
Plus I'm sure they figure the demand will be higher since Disney cut Magical Express.Hi, I was checking on car rentals in Florida for March 22 and the prices seem quite high. I think they are trying to recoup some losses.
As a PP mentioned, check out the We Love Bonnet Creek thread. You can probably get recommendations of people to book through. We boked through Vacation Strategy because they had the best refund/credit policy, at the time. Not sure what any of them are offering now in that regard, or which ones are still in business after covid hit.Not to hijack (okay, a little bit of a hijack) - where could one go to check out Bonnet Creek? We've stayed onsite twice now and loved it, but the rising prices and loss of perks is making me think about alternatives.
Yep. I had my first dose of vaccine. Expect to have the 2nd dose some time in July. I'm not worried about the quarantine, but I can't afford a $2,000 hotel stay after a Disney vacation. I'm hoping I don't have to cancel my December trip, this was my 3rd try. I stand to lose more DVC points if I do have to cancel.I honestly had completely forgotten about the hotel part of it. That is a huge deal breaker if that stays.
We’ve been hoping for February 22 as well. It’s often very warm for swimming. We were there Feb 21 and even I got in the pool! It was positively hot!So after some careful consideration and mental suffering from pandemic fatigue, I think we may change our dates to the first 2 weeks of February '22. While it won't be pool weather, well by Canadian standards it could be, "No ice kids, jump right in!", it will still be warmer than the the frozen waste land of Atlantic Canada and substantially less snow. Added bonus will be the chance of getting to drive through Mass in a blizzard! More importantly though missing the President day weekend crowds and NJ ? school break or NY? I dunno one of them, lol.
Frustrating that not all the hotels are available to be booked yet and there is no news on whether or not there will be a dining plan. Which brings me to the purpose of my post. SUPPOSING the dining plan does make a comeback, has anyone had any experience with the "new" Disney Dining Plan +, the 2 table service or quick service plan? A bit of strategic planning could make a couple of 2 credit spots like California grill or Le Cellier a more interesting option

This is a problem all over the US right now and it's going to be here for quite some time. I started googling articles when I noticed the same complaints kept coming up over and over in the transportation forum. It's not just Disney folks.. it's a country wide problem.
One workaround.. there is a very popular ticket and hotel broker that also has decent prices on cars if you book your tickets or hotel with them. They are filtered out so I can't mention the name (they didn't used to be). In most cases they are 3x less than other methods including the old standbys like Costco. I'm not sure how they are negotiating much lower rates but I booked 11 days in December with Avis through them for $240 which is absolutely unheard of right now. I've used UT before so had no issue booking my hotel through them. Everything I booked was fully refundable. There are lots of posts about them on the Transportation forum monthly car rental threads.
