We're in North Naples - inland - closer to I-75. A lot of that storm surge is for our coastal communities (Naples Park, Parkshore, Moorings Park, Pelican Bay, etc..etc..).

Good evening everybody! I want to reach out to my fellow WDWMagiceers/Magicians/"Disnerds"/"DisAddicts", etc and wish them the very best as they deal with Hurricane IRMA. I've mentioned time and time again that I'm in Fort Myers, Fl which is pretty much in the crosshairs of IRMA. I hope if...

I don't think that one is IRMA. That might be the other Tropical Wave looking to develop right behind IRMA. Stay tuned for that one. Though, because of the outflow from IRMA, that might impede any further strengthening on the newly formed wave. But, it's one to watch. :)

If you have reservations anywhere in Florida - just call your travel agent, your airline, Disney hotels, Disney restaurants, etc.... they may not be able to give you an answer just yet. But just know that you may not be able to get down here with IRMA so close-by. If you have travel...

Yep...even though we're in the 5 day cone....they won't get a good feel for this until Wednesday. Sit and wait. Might as well crack open a cold beer while we're waiting, huh? :)

We plan on it! I've been through a number of hurricanes. Before living in Florida, I was born and raised on Long Island where I saw: Hurricane Gloria (1985) Hurricane Bob (1991) Florida: Hurricane Andrew (1992) - Miami landfall - but cut across the state and made Naples pretty windy that...

Where I am in Fort Myers (a few hours north of Key West) in Lee County, we're pretty close to I-75, so we're inland and not really in a flood plain (even though last weekend's rains proved otherwise). But, the winds from IRMA will be off-shore so if there's any storm surge - it'll be minimal as...

They will once Hurricane Watches have been posted. But, I will tell you right now that Governor Scott issued a state of emergency for Florida. If I was in Key West, I'd be leaving now just to err on the side of caution because it's like you said.... "storms change paths." 8pm Advisory -...

The Keys will severely impacted based on the current forecast. Call ahead before you do anything.

The track shifted and put IRMA over the straits. I saw that track 12 hours ago when the track was over the mountainous region of Cuba and weakened it to a Cat 3 (after forecasted at a Cat 4). The 8pm advisory is coming out soon. We'll see where that track lays.

Hello WDWMagiceers/WDWMagicians, I'm down here in Southwest Florida (Fort Myers to be exact) and I've been watching this thing since it went from a tropical wave off the coast of Africa to a Tropical Storm within 48 hours. When I saw this, this caught my attention and I've been obsessed with...

I had a chance to do Disney by myself this past summer as I was in Orlando attending a training seminar/conference on cooperative learning at the Hilton across from Disney Springs (I'm a high school teacher in Southwest Florida). I figure since I'm in the area and rather than just hanging out...

I like to call them "resume generating events." ;)

Hello RunDisney fanatics (or you're just fanatically crazy to run long distances!), It's that time of year again as I'm already 10 weeks into the Jeff Galloway Run/Walk training program for the WDW Marathon. So far so good on the training as I'm just taking it slow to prevent myself from...

Hahaha! Ok! I'll play! I don't see what all the rage is about Dole Whips! It's a frozen pineapple, people! Jeesh! ;) Goofy's Barnstormer Ride - wait in line for 40 minutes for a ride that lasts 30 seconds. Test Track - I can get cheaper thrills racing my car up and down the Florida...

While I agree with you, it is sad to say that Disney will always have that stigma of being "the tame park" or the "park for kids." Disney sells their parks on the "magic" while Universal sells their park on the "thrill." Two different markets - families who want to see their kids mix and...

The last simulator I was on was Star Tours about 2 years ago. The ride was a little bit out of sync and I felt dizzy and queasy for a few hours after I got off. Will this stop me from doing simulator rides? Nah. If they're done right (which most of them at Disney are), they really give you...

That's what I thought, but wanted clarification. Appreciate the reply, @lazyboy97o!

Hello all, I apologize if this is an old discussion and for the bumping of an old thread, but can someone tell me what IP means? I've been seeing this used a lot in discussion threads as of late and I seem to be losing meaning/context of what is being talked about. Appreciate the help! :)...

I love the "Hey Old Timers!" headline to this discussion thread. While I am not an old timer (I just turned 43 years old), I will tell you some of my fondest memories of Disney back in the day. The first memory I have of Disney is when I was living on Long Island and my parents had tricked...
