SHIFTHEADS: Barry Choi on Flight Cancellations, Disney Prices, and How to Travel Smart Right Now

Summer travel planning in 2026 requires a different checklist than it used to, and Barry Choi has gone through it. Flight cancellations tied to jet fuel concerns are real, but Barry Choi says airlines are cutting unprofitable domestic routes well in advance, not scrambling. Any disruption that affects your booking will come with a refund. His standing advice right now is to book everything refundable and skip prepaid ground experiences until the picture settles. He also flags that Canadians avoiding the Middle East and flooding European routes are pushing costs up in both directions, which is quietly making certain US destinations competitive again. On Disney, Barry Choi says roughly $150 US per person per day is the floor before food, merchandise, or express passes. Canadian-exclusive multi-day and hotel deals exist and stack. For multi-generational trips or families with kids at the right age, he says the math on waiting rarely works in your favor.
