Ever since Disney World closed on March 16th, we’ve been missing our happy place. And with the closure extended until further notice, we’re not sure when we’ll be able to take our next stroll down Main Street, U.S.A. Given all of the uncertainty, we wanted to know whether or not our readers are still planning a trip to Disney World in 2020. Let’s take a look at what you guys had to say!

Even though we don’t know exactly when Disney World will reopen, like Cinderella said, they can’t order us to stop dreaming! Given the uncertainty, we wanted to know whether our readers are still planning a vacation for this year. And it seems people are mostly optimistic!

Other respondents said at this point, they’re going to wait it out for other milestones. Several people are now planning for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World or holding out for new attractions. One reader said, “Nope. Gonna plan my Halloween next year so I can ride the Tron Coaster.”

“I Want to Plan a Trip, But I’m Waiting Until I Know More”

A few readers are still on the fence! 3% said they are interested in planning a trip but won’t start the process until the situation becomes more clear. Some want to know what they’re signing up for before they start making reservations. “I really want to travel this fall. But we are waiting to see what a ‘reopened’ Disney looks like.”

Others also have health concerns, “I had wanted to go back in the fall, but I’m immune compromised. Wait and see.” While this group wasn’t ready to count a trip out, they aren’t comfortable committing yet, “We are still debating, have looked at multiple dates and options but still playing it by ear.”

Here’s how our readers responded when asked if they’re in favor of temperature checks at Disney World

While many readers raised valid concerns about planning a 2020 trip to Disney World, the majority of respondents said they’re still moving forward with their plans for later this year!
