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

[Lilofan]

Well, SOMEbody removed it. If it wasn't CMs it was Ian.

I would think the flying objects ( ie trash cans , anything not tied down in the ground would be priority to move ). Parks fared well compared to the number of flooded areas in Orlando and Kissimmee.

Is annoying it says guest relations in MK
Going to try in Epcot in 10 mins
Wish me luck

Please let us know if you succeeded

They let you in before early entry starts, so you can already be standing in line when the ride opens. Ride and head off to your second ride before park opening.

Um. No. My observation is correct because I posted while in line for Rat. Yes, they do let you in before opening but they hold you in the main walkway just before Seas. At 9, we're released. I joined the Rat queue about 9:20 and had a 25 minute wait that took me past 9:30.

Was this today? From those times I’m guessing it might have been.

The procedure varies from park to park. You can often be in line and some rides will even start up before the official early entry time.

I thought they removed the canopy fabric for wind events.

As far as I know, this time it was ripped off by the wind.

Fun canopy fact: Irma (I’m pretty sure) blew off the canopy from the Canada friendship boat dock and was never found. So it’s probably somewhere in the bottom of the lagoon to this day. Obviously, they got a new one after that.

Yes. Today.

With the sun bearing down on things like that, they typically cannot be reinstalled if you take them down anyway. In the end it’s usually best to just leave it up and then if it’s undamaged you’re good to go, if it’s damaged you take it off and order a replacement.

i know it is not Disney related but Citywalk and Volcano bay will be opened at 11:00 today for guest only. must have valid keycard to get in, no exceptions. must use bus since no parking garage are open

parks will not be open today since they are still evaluating storm damage

Your error was going to Rat from the front. From International Gateway, we were in the queue 1 min after early entry started and off the ride 10 min into EE. Managed FEA before park open and got in the Test Track line.

It’s not necessarily good for wherever it ends up.

Sorry. I know how you feel.

Well that confirms that 10/2 to 10/6 was not happening for us.

Now Mike can stop saying, “Honey, I really think we should have waited. I think you jumped the gun”.
