Sorry, this is probably none of my business, but I am going to put my two cents worth on this one. While I understand the honeymoon being up for debate, might I suggest that if you truly love each other and I am assuming you do, that you continue on with the wedding. Yes, it will probably need to be modified, maybe even to the point of having most of the guests only being there virtually. My thought is we should let this do as little as possible to disrupt our normal lives and I have seen too many times that people put off things like getting married because of some circumstance that is out of their control, then they continue to push it off repeatedly and regret having done so years later.My June honeymoon to WDW is now up for debate...
For that matter... so is the wedding itself :/
lol.Sorry, this is probably none of my business, but I am going to put my two cents worth on this one.

Ultimately, you have to do what is right for you, but something to at least consider.
You see, I have a bit different view on marriage perhaps, to me it is about the couple making covenant with God, so really the only people that have to be there are the person officiating, the witnesses (most, if not all states require this) and the couple. The bottom line is anything beyond that is nice, but not necessary. And if you really want the big wedding, have a ceremony later on down the road. But I also say you shouldn't go into debt for a wedding and should try to do it as affordable as possible, so that you have enough money to live off of after you are married.I got married last year at the DL hotel and if key members of my family wouldnt have been able to make it I wouldve postponed the event.
It's an important event and you want to share it with the right people.
Fair enough, I can certainly see there being a potential for needing dramatic alterations all things considered.lol.
Let me clarify that... we are still getting married. The actual marriage itself was never up for debate.
But the planned for ceremony and reception might require some dramatic alterations.
Yeah, and for WDW, I would suggest not just considering where you are financially, but what state the parks are in at that time. Yes, I would expect them to be reopen, but we don't know where everything will stand by then.Yes!
I had plans to go both to Tokyo Disney resort and WDW this year, both resorts I haven't been to in nearly a decade. The plans for Tokyo was already cancelled a month ago since I had planned to go in April and that park is still shut down. The WDW trip isn't until September so that is still on track for now, but yeah it won't just depend if the resort is open by then but where things are at job wise and financially as well.
I am a local for DLR and lives less than 30 minutes away so I can return to this park whenever it opens again pretty much barring some big financial issue.

Great point!
The reason why I decided this year was because I wanted to see the new dark rides like Ratatouille and MMRR among all the other new attractions that's opened up in the last decade but if a lot of it will be down will probably just postpone for another year or so.
Umm, not having internet access shouldn't be a hindrance to online education, as most ISPs are providing free internet access (wifi where available and providing modems where it isn't) for at least the next 90 days to students that don't have internet for this very reason and many are offering free chromebooks or other inexpensive computers as well.My June trip is all up in the air at this point. Not only if the park reopens in time, but no idea what will happen with school schedules. The grade/middle/high schools in OR aren’t going to online schools because too many kids don’t have access, soooo do they not get a summer? Just test them out of the grade? No friggin idea.
Just telling you what the news said about online education in OR. I just got an email from our particular school district and they are confirming that there are no online school plans. They will provide packets that the students can access online or go in and pick up physical paper for. But these packets will apparently be what they are doing until they get back to school.Umm, not having internet access shouldn't be a hindrance to online education, as most ISPs are providing free internet access (wifi where available and providing modems where it isn't) for at least the next 90 days to students that don't have internet for this very reason and many are offering free chromebooks or other inexpensive computers as well.
So you say you were planning WDW & Tokyo...
Have you considered doing Tokyo & the Chinese parks in one trip instead of Tokyo and WDW on separate trips? They're all about four hours apart from each other by air, if you're already going all the way to Tokyo (also, because I combined parks/cities my airfare went DOWN more than $500). Admission would be cheaper across the board, and you'd get 100% new park experiences. Mystic Manor and Shanghai Pirates are 100% worth the hype and won't be coming here any time soon, and both parks are great experiences. Since there are four parks (albeit several hours apart by plane) with fantastic cities next to them, you can almost pretend it's a more cultured WDW trip.
Alternately (highly irrational option), you could do Tokyo and Paris on separate trips, if Paris appeals to you (Ratatouille, upgraded castle park, etc). I get that they're on other sides of the world, but you're already going on separate Disney trips, you could get more Disney and more culture that way? As I said, irrational, but especially if you've never done Paris I could see the appeal.
Naturally you're welcome to do what you like and stick with your original plan, but full bias disclosure, I truly feel the WDW product is subpar right now compared to the others around the world, especially for the prices you'd be paying (highest in the world), although I suppose they could surprise us all with great discounts when they reopen. In terms of new attractions, you could experience Tron at Shanghai, Ratatouille in Paris (and it's not a ride I particularly care for), and MMRR will eventually open at DLR. I suppose there's other worthwhile stuff that's opened, but the only stuff unlikely to leave WDW (IMO) are the attractions of Pandora and Slinky Dog.
Food for thought.
