Well, I made it back from Vancouver today. If you don't hear from me for two weeks, that likely means I've been abducted for mandatory quarantine. I also booked the Vegas trip in May...but I made sure to purchase the extra insurance in case things go bonkers before then.
Booked the whole family for a vacation in the US in early April. We are flying thru YVR to LAX, so they're fairly busy airports with lots of travelers.
In case things get really bad in the next 40 or so days, we booked the flights and hotels such that we can cancel them up to a day before. I'm hoping there isn't some dramatic change in the virus though the fear of it will probably help the crowds at disney and universal!
Back from Japan last week, (Just Tokyo, long weekend for school) for sure not as busy as usual, those toy stores are usually full of loud hongers, but not this time, We did avoid buffet style lunch/dinner, my wife was a bit more panic than me, mostly stay in Ginza area, only went to Shinjuku for few hour in the afternoon.
Huge economic crushed for sure, but as a tourist, nice part is the Tax Free line up is so short...even the line up for most stores are short, but no big sale in Feb.. :dunno:
So, don't panic too much, stay healthy and happy! :clap:
Brother, have you heard the gospel of flying into PSP to get to Disney?Quote:

Yes but my origin airport is YYJ, which really complicates travel plans. I briefly considered flying with harbour air to YVR to catch a better flight to PSP... but it just isn't worth it.Quote:

Is it just the cheaper flights and maybe less congested airport?

Back on topic, I will report back if people avoid me (as an asian) at the airport or in disney. My wife is not asian so they may lump me in the "non asian so probably ok" category.
PSP is definitely not cheaper than LAX.
Sometimes I find Ontario, CA is only slightly more than LAX and is a much quieter airport. It's ~45 min drive to disneyland. No direct flights from here but if I'm coming from elsewhere I've flown there a few times to do events in San BernadinoQuote:
