Hello,
Unfortunately we can’t move the date we go due to having booked everything independently from flights, car hire, airport lounges etc. Not only would we lose a good bit of money by doing this but we’re also going on a free dining offer for 3 weeks which in order to get again would significantly push the date of going back at least a year.
I’ve not broken the news about BB yet and I’m considering the best way to do so. I also completely understand the need to refurbish and update the parks although just fail to understand why this was not made public earlier and is going to happen around a time they state they will be expecting record numbers due to opening Galaxy’s Edge early.
Being completely honest I feel this closure is starting to bear the brunt of a lot of frustration that’s been building for a while with the planning of this trip. It’s been almost 20 years since I’ve last been to Disney and between ADR’s, fastpasses, the MDE app, parking charges, fast pass tiers, closures, Not so scary tickets and MK park hours to expected crowd levels the whole thing seems far more complicated than before. I’m now just thankful I didn’t opt for the regular dining plan as not sure I could begin to book 3 weeks worth of dining reservations before knowing what fast passes were even available.Haha! Forgive the moaning...despite being as on top of things as I’ve felt it possible to be it feels like such unexpected closures are annoying as we have been expected to organise all aspects of the trip so far in advance that I would expect the courtesy of them providing this kind of information far earlier to allow people to do the planning that is now expected of them when going to Disney.
Sorry for the rant. Fingers crossed that nothing further is announced relating to closures.
