Oh what fun flying can be! Travel day didn’t go quite as planned, but alas, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that we’re finally back at Disney World!
Come follow along as we embark on our first trip back after a tough year and a half – June Disney World Trip. We have tons of grand plans – lots of parks and restaurants and other fun stuff. Let’s hope those plans go better than our flight down.
After a long year and a half, we’re finally all vaccinated and able to go now! We can’t wait! It’s been a tough year, so we need to be immersed in some Disney magic.
This is also my first actual trip since becoming a travel advisor, so I’ll be looking at things from that angle as well. I’ll capture things that would be helpful to you in planning your trip.
I’ll try to post pics and trip recaps each day or soon afterwards, so follow along here!

Disneyland parks in California finally reopened to state residents last month. And starting June 15, 2021, they will be open to out of state residents as well!
There are still some restrictions though, so be sure to know before you go. Most notably, you will also have to make park reservations, in addition to buying your tickets, so plan ahead.
Also of note, if you’re into Marvel, the Avengers Campus is opening tomorrow!!
Located in southern West Virginia, the New River Gorge National River was officially designated as New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in early 2021. The park includes 70,000 acres of land, as well as the 53 mile long river, that provides many opportunities for outdoor recreation. The gorge is the longest and deepest river gorge in the Appalachian Mountains. The surrounding forest contains some of the oldest and most diverse flora and ecosystems in the world, where many endangered animals live.
Disney World just announced room discounts for early 2021 bookings, ranging from 20-35% off depending on the resort category. There are also other specials for the rest of 2020 still.
Things have been quiet here. We’re still hunkering down at home. Hopefully, you’re staying safe too.
If you want to plan for future Disney trips, Disney just announced some new openings. Disney resorts in Orlando can now be booked through the end of 2021, which encompasses the 50th anniversary of WDW in Oct if you want to be there for the celebration. Disney cruises are about to open bookings thru April 2022. Be aware of the new safety restrictions and cancellation policies before you book though.
Here are the links to the listings. Let me know if you want to discuss anything or would like me to help you book them.
The Disney World theme parks in Orlando Florida are open again! Very exciting!
However, whether or not you should go yet is going to vary based on your situation. What is your health and safety tolerance? Is this one of your first or only trips or do you go pretty often? Are you willing and able to abide by the changes and restrictions in place?
Of course, there are many changes due to Covid safety. I hesitate to list them all here though because they’re changing literally day by day, but the biggest things of note are going to be the reduced capacity and the need to reserve park reservations in addition to having a park ticket, no park hopping, no fast passes, and the requirement to wear masks everywhere except when you’re eating.
If you are interested in going to the theme parks now, including any other theme parks that are open such as Universal, SeaWorld, etc, make sure to read about their new changes on their websites. If you would like help with your trip plans, feel free to contact me.
The Disney parks will be drastically different from your last trip due to Covid safety. Stay up to date on the latest here, especially on the need to make park reservations for entry, in addition to having your ticket. Things are changing day by day, so check back often, and some of it can be a little confusing. Feel free to contact me if you want help with your plans.
The Universal parks are starting to open now. Of course, Covid safety protocols have been put in place, so be sure to know before you go. Keep up to date here, and feel free to contact me if you want any help planning your trip.
