I think you were very smart to head to the beach. Our trip was 3/12-15 but we came home today and cut off one day. We had talked about heading to the beach if we arrived to find it closed. We got a text from our son just before riding FoP during AK AH and pretty much decided to do 1 more day (and no more buses) and then come home today.
For those that are bummed, I have to say I found it very stressful to be there among that many people. One bus from AK to AKL (we were just going to see it and have a drink) was so jam packed that I almost had an anxiety attack. We are healthy mid 50s, but still. I work from home and my husband works at a very small office, so reflecting back it seems like a mistake to have gone.
We feel the same way, we debated about leaving so hard. It was a 2 day drive and we arrived Sunday. On Thursday once they announced closing WDW and DL we really got nervous, packed up and left the next morning. Hindsight is 20/20 of course but the disruption to our lives going forward is going to be extreme, because now we are required to self-isolate for 14 days and new research coming out that the virus could still be present for up to 5 weeks after contagion. It’s scary. At the end seeing anyone cough and wearing masks was truly unsettling. The parks were not busy, but the lines were still long and you can tell they were not running at capacity. I’ve never seen so many long faces at Disney!
We also had a two day drive and kids super excited.. first day was HS and it was super busy , did not get boarding passes after they went in 30 seconds. We all ready were not happy. Went to MK people were everywhere, hand sanitizer stations were there but many empty. We went into parent meeting time.... my husband does not get much time off it was this week or next year so we made the best of it. Really should have cancelled the week. Disney gave most of our money back.
The beach was great. Should do that more often.
Love you march group i will miss you.
