That would seem so unlikely as to not even be worth discussing.

That is a Disney Mantra that is also applicable here.
I have family near West Palm. Praying for the best. . .

I've been here with friends since the weekend and my sister was scheduled to meet me this Friday. She's driving up tonight instead - we'll do what we can Thursday AM and hunker down in the resort if WDW closes the parks late Thursday/Friday. Right now looks like the weekend and Monday still have decent forecasts, so hoping the whole trip won't be a wash for her (no pun intended). Our concern right now is with our friends and family in the storms path.

I went a day before a hurricane was supposed to hit many years ago (2004 or 2005) I went to the parks and no one was there it was great!! No waits on rides you could actually get picture of castle from Train platform with handful of people it it.

I'm supposed to fly down Friday morning. I guess I have to cancel. I don't know what to do. There's no availability for any other flight. I need a miracle or a good cry. 
It was supposed to be my b'day trip.

I'm in Tally also. It's 4 hours for me, with pit stops, from front door to entrance on Western. But I live right by I-10.....
So how long were you without power after Her-Mean?

I live just minutes away from WDW currently (previously Naples FL before this year). This should be...interesting i guess... We shall see how it goes.
Sorry, I don't remember our captain's name. Probably because I was in shock after the FSU game...and the beers consumed to drown my sorrow didn't help.

Omg I LOVED that game!!!!!
Hah, hah. I'm just hoping we can find a defense before October 29th.....
Don't think the ACC needs that outside firm anymore to determine the Atlantic Division winner for the December 3rd game. I'm just hoping we don't have a loosing season....
Wonder if Mickey Andrews could be convinced to come out of retirement for the rest of the season...Kelly needs to go.
Thursday night through Saturday afternoon. At 2:30 pm, I was standing in MK (he he) when my Alarm app notified me that the alarm system was on low power. I then knew that power was back on. I left Tally early that Saturday morning for a Labor Day weekend trip primarily to see MSEP for the last time. The next day I was in Epcot and fatigue caught up with me. So I went back to the resort and took a nap in the A/C with the overhead fan going. I thought of those still without power in Tally.

Most of my heart is with the Buckeyes, a good portion of it though is with the Canes. I'm looking forward to the day when they are back on top of the ACC! Sorry, but I despise FSU, closely followed by the Gators, and rounding out my top 3 NCAA Hate would be the Wolverines. Completely jumbled, I know.lol

The OSU Michigan game is our second day at WDW. We won't be at the parks..I'll be ordering room service and watching the tv.I'll occasionally check my ESPN app for the score. I'm back at WDW 10/29-11/4.

Can you fly into Tampa and take a rental over to WDW?

It's your vacation. For myself, don't know specific time yet of FSU-Clemson game. Maybe 8pm due to teams playing? If so, I'll be in CG enjoying a good meal before watching Wishes. If earlier, I'll either be on the road (game is 12:00-3:30) or in MK (game is 3:30-7:00) before my ADR.

Please leave. Your unique brand of delusional hyperbole is always unwanted and unnecessary.

Same here.. Time is still TBD. I'm hoping it's in the evening. Crowd levels are predicted 9/10 that day, so I'd skip the parks either way. We have a 2pm brunch scheduled at 1900 park fare and just planning on relaxing, maybe monorail hopping, swim if warm enough, and a sea Raycer...hopefully time to squeeze in a drink at Mizner's. We can watch the EWP and Wishes from the room if it's a night game..that's what we did last year on Labor Day when OSU played, it actually ended up being one of my favorite days..probably because it was the only one that didn't have a strict schedule besides breakfast ADR and kickoff.

We are here now..we were planning on leaving early Saturday morning...like 7am. Heading towards atlanta, Chattanooga, Lexington KY. Do you guys think we'll even be able to get out at that point? Also, if we leave tomorrow am, will we be able to get gas between here and there??? What would you guys do?

During our October 2004 trip I remember seeing lots of blue tarps on the roofs of houses on the way from the airport to WDW.. That year was active for Central Florida.. Had Frances in early September, then Ivan and Jeanne in late September. Only damage I remember seeing in the parks was at the Off Kilter stage. Jamie commented during their show that Ivan wreaked havoc on the roof to the stage. (the roof was only made from a tarp like material)
Edit: Forgot about Charley in early August.. Very active that year!
Hopefully Matthews' effects will be minimal as well...
