Hey everyone this is Kelly, and I’m here with your Two-cents Tuesday: Travel News in 2 minutes!
Hawaii is expected to make changes to its Safe Travel program this week. We have seen many changes since Hawaii reopened its borders on October 15, including Kauai reinstituting a mandatory 2-week quarantine. Although specifics have not yet been announced as of this recording, it is expected that the pre-arrival test will still be required, and likely a second test post arrival will be implemented. It is also rumored that the quarantine requirements will more closely reflect the CDC’s updated guidelines. We are following this developing story.
Canada and the US have mutually agreed to keep land borders closed through January 2021. Visitors to Canada are required to observe a 14-day quarantine, and a quarantine plan is a requirement upon arrival. Transit through Canada on a layover is permitted, but those wishing to see our neighbors up north for vacation will need to wait a bit longer.
Walt Disney World has announced plans for its Festival of the Arts! For those clients ready to escape the cold, this is a great option for travel in the New Year! You can indulge your artistic side all around Epcot, as you craft, eat, and experience great art around the world! Great hotel rates are still available, and non-stop flight service is available from many airports. Military rates are also available for service members who are active or retired with 20+ years of service!
Speaking of Disney, If you are headed to Disney World for New Years Eve, WDW has announced there will be no in-park celebrations, as the parks will close before midnight on December 31. There will, however, be a number of bars and lounges open across select deluxe resorts on property, and they will stay open until 1am to help you ring in the new year.
That’s it for your Two-cents Tuesday! I’ll see you next week.
