Your Comments and Thoughts Continued...

"The only true answer to this is if there is a vaccination or not."

"Depends no parades no character meals no fireworks then no. I want the magic not the bare basic package."

"They should lower ticket prices since they have reduced hours and cancelled shows, fireworks and character meet and greets."

"They’ve priced me out of contention. Yes I know they have all kinds of offers, but it would take me two years to save for a vacation there. Sad."

"I’ll probably wait awhile. I’m anxious about traveling and then bringing the virus into my workplace / having to be off work and away from co-workers I enjoy being with for a long time. I think Disney is doing a great job of keeping guests safe, it’s more of the traveling from Texas to Florida and back that I’m anxious about. I think all would be fine, but instead of really enjoying my trip, I would also feel anxious the whole time. And even though I’m so thankful for all the precautions, I don’t want to pay a lot for a limited experience, or wear a mask for a long time in the heat. So it depends what’s going on in 2021."

"Unfortunately no. I would love to go, can't wait to go again...but I must wait. (1) Needs to be much safer at Disney World / Central Florida / in general, (2) Needs to be the FULL experience of Disney World (which it is NOT today).
Thus until there is an effective treatment for or a working vaccine against COVID I won't be going."

"No, mainly because the border is still closed for good reasons, so rather not plan. Plus a lot of the things I was looking forward to (ex. Ratatouille) have been delayed. Also, the reason I love Disney are the shows. It just wouldn’t be the same without them."

"We are hoping that by Nov 2021, things will be closer to normal in travel as well as a vaccine. If there isn’t a vaccine we probably won’t go."

"Probably not, if masks are required. I’d rather wait."

"As soon as they start running some specials."

"Nope. I’m personally not satisfied with the company’s response to COVID-19."

"Been planning Niece and Nephew’s first trip for 2021 and the 50th anniversary. We’ve decided as an extended family that we will still go regardless of how scaled back it may be. The kids won’t know the difference and I’ve been waiting since 2017 for my next dose of Disney. For me just being there is enough."

"Yes for sure! I'm at WDW right now! Precautions are in place. People are behaving. Lines are short! Next year, things will be better! Disney will govern themselves accordingly!"

Summary of the debate

So, at this point I always summarise the main themes from the comments:

  • For a lot of people it will depend on the current COVID-19, for others they say that they feel safer at Disney than they do at home. 
  • Comments about construction and the amount of walls at Epcot may put people off from visiting in 2021.
  • Some people are waiting for a vaccination until they are happy to step foot again into a theme park.
  • A lot of people feel very annoyed by the fact that you have to pay full price for what they consider to be half the experience, with the cancelling of shows, parades, fireworks and character meet and greets. 
  • Some people think prices should be dropped and then they may consider visiting but many think they will in fact raise prices heading into 2021. Disney's decision on pricing  will also inevitably directly affect peoples decision whether they choose to visit or not.
  • During these very difficult financial times, a lot of people say they would like to go but just can't afford it at the moment.
  • Many have full vacations and trips planned for 2021 with some saying they are choosing to reduce the number of days next year as a balance in the current world climate.

I just wanted to say that I personally love all theme parks, that's why my husband and I started Theme Park Tourist over 10 years ago. If you feel there is any bias in any of my articles I can only apologize, as this is definitely never intended.
