    Impact of Omicron Variant

    Starting a thread to gather thoughts on how the Omicron variant will impact DVC, if at all. I wasn't involved in the boards during the emergence of Delta over the summer or the beginning of the Pandemic last Spring. I'm wondering what everyone with more history here thinks about the...

    We got Covid on a Disney trip

    Wife and I had a 6 night stay at poly 11/6 through 11/12. We both became symptomatic on 11/14 and tested positive on 11/16. There is a slight chance we may have had it before the trip but doubtful. This trip is the riskiest thing we've done since the start of the pandemic. We followed the rules...

    You will be contacted “shortly”

    So I got the Return to the Magic email asking me to confirm that we are planning to visit WDW in September. I selected “Yes, planning to come”. We are staying at ASMo, so we are expecting some communication from Disney confirming a move. My question is: has anyone been contacted? Did you...

    Tickets for dvc guests during Covid-19

    With ticket sales being suspended will Disney sell to resort guests? We have a chance to stay at a DVC in Aug. but don't know if we'd be able to get into the parks. We'd rather not waste the points/gift if the parks are off limits to us.

    Crowd predictions after covid?

    I’m looking to book a trip (hopefully) to Disney World at the beginning of May 2021. I was hoping to get some opinions on predictions of crowd levels at that time. I’m not sure if they’ll be worse because cancelled trips are rebooking or better because people still won’t be traveling. Thoughts?

    Cancelled in March, lost deposit, now cruise is cancelled. Any chance for a refund?

    What is happening to placeholder discounts if your cruise is canceled?

    Hello DISers! My fiancé and I had went with a placeholder discount that we booked on our last cruise (I believe it was either 15% or 20% off plus stateroom credits) and had saved to apply it for our July honeymoon cruise. I was told when we booked before all of this happened that if we switched...

    Will availability at Aulani also be affected by the COVID-19 returned points?

    I was looking at using a TA rate to stay at Aulani in September 2020. Then we toyed with renting points, which would be cheaper, but I decided against it after seeing what's been happening with cancelled reservations recently. I'd rather have a fully refundable way of booking. I've also been...

    Never Going to Disney Again - Cancer in the Time of COVID-19

    COVID-19 sucks. All of us had something we were looking forward to that we can no longer do, and worse, some of us have loved ones who are no longer with us. My heart breaks for all of you. I want to vent about what I’ve lost to people I know will understand, loyal Disney fans. My mother in law...

    What are the odds?

    Does anyone think the odds are pretty good that Hilton Head or Vero Beach will open long before WDW? We have a reservation for HHI in August (and also a reservation at WDW for a few days prior to that reservation), and I'm thinking we'll be much more likely to be able to do the Hilton Head trip...
