We haven't pulled the trigger yet but starting to think the same either October 2021 or even May 2022. I have a list of must-dos such as Hoop de doo, 'Ohana, keys to the kingdom tour, and not confident any of those are going to be available.We pulled the trigger and cancelled our May trip, we are going to schedule a longer trip in late October hoping that things will be less covidy by then. You can take us off the list.
At this point I would consider it a long shot that any of those things would be available in May. In March who would have believed this would have lasted so long.We haven't pulled the trigger yet but starting to think the same either October 2021 or even May 2022.

A glimmer of hope for the future, wdw sent out notifications to hotel guests close to Epcot that they would be testing pyrotechnics for harmonious a couple weeks ago
Trying to keep my hopes up, but an already stressful trip just keeps getting more stressful, so I just need to vent. I hope that's okay and I don't bring the mood down in here.
Back in June, we had booked through Disney for May '21 as a backup for Dec. '20 since we wanted to get Park Passes ASAP, and the $200 refundable deposit made it no-risk to cancel if we did end up going in December. After we cancelled Dec., we had no reason not to commit to May, so we rebooked through Costco at a significant savings.
I called Disney to cancel our original package, and then linked the new reservation and tickets. After a couple of days, MDE was still showing both resort reservations. Last night I checked again and the original Disney reservation was still there, but the new Costco reservation was gone. When I tried to re-link the new reservation, I got an error that it wasn't found.
I called MDE support, and after an 1+ hours on hold while they looked into it, they told me that the reservation had been completely removed, and it wasn't a problem on their end.
So I called the Swan and explained the situation. They looked at their system and saw that they had cancelled the Costco reservation instead of the Disney Reservation. How does that happen?
I was put on hold while they investigated, and was then almost immediately disconnected. I called back, and the second person I talked to said that she couldn't do anything because the department that could fix the reservations is closed on the weekend and I would have to call back on Monday.
I just want to go on a vacation. Why has everything been a mess so far?
Again, sorry for the rant, but I needed to vent.
I certainly agree with that! If we went only every few years even, I wouldn’t go either unless it was mainly all back to normal. We have been going every year for a while, so its different for us, but after next May we also decided no more WDW trips in 2022 or beyondl unless a lot of things have resumed. Unless they want to offer us a 30% discount like we got for May of this year that we never got to use. Not likely that will happen but I am keeping my eye out for next year discounts just in case.I think if we went more than every ten years, I may be a little more flexible but since we haven't been since 2010 and who knows when we'd go again after the next trip, we prefer to wait until it's a least close to what we expected...still hoping that will be May 2021...but maybe May 2022...
In March I thought for sure I’d be going to Disney in July!At this point I would consider it a long shot that any of those things would be available in May. In March who would have believed this would have lasted so long.
Well we pulled the trigger today.
We will be staying at the Poly Villas May 11-19
Can't wait.
Yes, so waiting to see if there are any discounts coming for May. Typically the May discounts drop on Jan. 2, at least they have for the last couple of years. I will keep looking everyday though to see if they do it early, late or not at all. Fingers crossed!Disney released discounts today for dates January 3 through April 17. I wonder when we will see the summer discounts. Maybe sometime in January? We are booked at CBR but if there's a good discount, we may change to something with a little bit more room.
