Theres no way some little rain storm is going to keep me from WDW
As tho motto goes "neither rain nor snow will keep me from my destiny with the mouse"

I said yes, but of course I would check with DH.

I'm with you...I tend to get irrational and my mind tells me that Disney is in a bubble and can't be damaged! LOL.

Heck, I'd go, but partner says no way! We'll see, we are headed there 9/25 for 2 weeks. Hopefully no more are coming that way...undefined

I look at this poll and wonder how many are really being honest. It is very easy to say that I would go because everything is so wonderful, well the reality is there is allot of devastation throughout Florida due to the past 2 Hurricanes and there is another one on the way. We are not talking about a little rain storm. The projected path has it following Charley's route so far. I live in Tampa and it scares me to think that we might be hit next. I know WDW is wonderful and under normal circumstances I would go there over most anywhere else but not if a disaster is coming. Polls are nice and all but I wonder if the "yes" votes are really serious?

I voted no - I love to be in the parks everyday for as long as I can.
Also, my DH's vacations are usually pretty easy to obtain,
so rescheduling would not really be an issue.
(and I'm not opposed to taking the kids out of school!)

gcbdad, yes I would still go, yes I know hurricanes can be devastating, but if I had everything planned and paid for, I would go. thinking about this ..its like 9/11, remember how they asked for tourist support after 9/11? If people started to stay away from Florida because of hurricanes, it would also effect the economy.

I voted No Way, simply for the $$ involved in my trips to WDW. That is too much money to be couped up in the hotel when I could have stayed home and gone another time. WDW to me is all about going to the parks and if I couldn't do that it wouldn't be worth going. While I agree that Disney does a good job keeping people safe, and I don't think I would be too scared, it just doesn't make sense to me to go into a hurricane for my vacation $!!

ohh this reminded me of a show DH and I saw on the Travel channel ( I think it was the Travel channel) where people actually paid to go hunt down tornados!! We thought that was so insane. Then during Charley and again with Francis they showed surfers out there on the beach and in the water.

We have been tracking IVAN closely and the projected path right now is to hit the tip of Florida as a category 5 on Monday and go up the middle of the the sate and be right over Orlando on Tuesday.
Of course we are praying that it will continue to head east and miss the whole state, but if not it would be devastating.

This is not the news I was hoping for. UGH!

[Sungold]

I voted "no way", but that's with the understanding that I could reschedule without penalty. Travel plans would have to be factored in, too. We were stranded down there in Feb. 2003 after an ice storm in the Carolinas closed the railroad tracks (we went via Amtrak). We wound up taking Greyhound all the way back to Albany, NY...so it isn't only hurricanes that can mess things up!

[leslieh]

since we are still planning on arriving on Wednesday, I voted "yes"... hopefully everyone in Florida will be spared another hit. I teach meteorology so I am literally watching Ivan's storm track hourly...

[keljen]

I said no way as WDW is the Happiest Place on Earth I don't think I want to be there durning a Hurricane or anyplace else but far away from it. We have been there durning a rain storm and that's fine it gives more time to shop

[cj2004]

I voted No. We were scheduled to leave in a week, but rescheduled (my dh pushed for this one, said with a 3 yr old it might not be fun!) for November. Fine with me as long as we get down there by the end of '04!
