Hurricane Ian expected to impact Florida (updates and related discussions)

You didn't.....

Totally warranted…a brilliant “tactical display”

Target near Margaritaville.

What good is extending park passes if those days are your last and flying back. They should have no expiration date period.

…those chickens look tasty

…those chickens look tasty

They sure will in a couple of days with no refrigeration

I agree! Tostitos salsa is terrible!

Reminder, it is 2023 expiration not 2022.

However, someone may want to remind Bob about the family from Denver who only comes once every 5 years that he's so concerned with, that this policy would be of no use to that family.

The fact that no Disney breakfast reservations have opened up for Monday and Tuesday tells me that not a lot of people have canceled trips / bailed on their current vacation. I’m surprised! I guess we will see how flights shake out for Friday and Saturday and if people get down to MCO.

Curious for any FL or others who have experienced hurricanes: saw someone interviewed on the news tonight who was evacuating and the person said “this one (Ian) just feels different“. Thoughts?

 

[TTA94]

Little info as far as what happens after it crosses FL and heads north. It appears as though it won’t survive to long even if it makes it partially into the Atlantic.

 

[Touchdown]

Track disagrees, it’ll still be a TS back in the Atlantic.

Isn’t that the whole reason they started building DVC villas with both a bath and a shower with bench?

Wait, what?

This was too far but I think you might be my husbands long lost brother. Totally something he would say! As a friend once said of my husband ‘(he) always says the most inappropriate thing at the most appropriate time’

In memory of what will be left of Animal Kingdom after tomorrow:

Nooo!! Hurts my heart to think of all the animal at AK (and Busch Gardens) who are all sheltered, probably restless and having no idea what is coming. Bless all the employees staying to care for them!
Hope everyone -humans and all other animals - are safe.

Well, I don’t think I’ve seen a storm this strong heading towards Florida from this direction in my lifetime.

It’s honestly not something you want to stick around for. It will be the longest 12-24 hours of your life, at minimum. And there’s nowhere to go at that point.

Are they issued as new tickets that they can resell?

I think there are too many people willing to pile in either locals or people who couldn't get reservations before that demand is still high. Monday and Tuesday are far enough out.

I was lucky to get a Weds to Friday flight change late afternoon which is looking solid. I think Saturday at Disney is going to be the best opportunity I have ever seen for little to no waits. Looking at the flight prices Friday and even Saturday almost ALL the direct flights from the northeast are sold out. People are going to pile into the parks fast trying to catch low crowds. I bet Sunday is still somewhat light and Monday is slammed.

"Jeers and boos erupted when Bob Chapek came on the loudspeaker, moments later, to inform passengers an additional charge of $599 will be assessed to their folios."

If we’re starting a playlist… I want to listen to this so we can’t hear the wind and rain howling outside

 

[Touchdown]

This is going to hit Ft Myers, Cape Coral, Sanibel Captiva area with the 12 ft surges expected in Tampa yesterday, I pray for anyone still down there.
