People will still have a good time, I know we did during Andrew. But Mother nature is still always in control.

Re: Disney Closed Due To Storm

My heart is breaking for all our DC buddies who have waited for ages, watching their countdown drop every day, only to finally get to Orlando and have their park hours shortened by Charley! -- Hey, everybody down there! We are thinking about you and hope you find new magical things to do!!!

It will most likely be much better by Monday. The clean-up teams will be out in full force as soon as its safe.

Re: Disney Closed Due To Storm

This Charley fellow is really messing things up for a bunch of people I hope that no one gets hurt or worse. My thoughts and prays are with all our DC friends in the area. Take care and be safe.

it should be over by then, but a prayer and some Pixie dust for you can't hurt. So, I'll send some your way. Our Dixie and Tink are down there, so I hope they are both safe and finding ways to have a magical time anyway.

Re: Disney Closed Due To Storm

I probably shouldnt post this...but for those going in the next I would say 6-10 days or so...there are 2 more storms that within the next few hours should end up tropical storms...so keep looking at the weather just to be sure...hey are both still far away, but it can't hurt to be aware of them. It is the height of hurricane season...so I would just check out the weather channel and look for projections and stuff. Both have the chance to be strong and end up hitting the US coast and one looks like Florida could be it's target..

Every year there are storms and we never know where they are going. Orlando, being landlocked, isn't generally considered to be a high-risk area, but foul weather can certainly stink up the joint for a day or two.

IF the timing is wrong for any would-be travellers, just be prepared for potential flight delays and make sure that you're travelling with stuff to keep you busy.

There's no use fretting over things you can't control. So, just be prepared and Disney magic will pull you through.
