Just got back from DHS. Actually seemed busier than earlier in the week. We’re going to take the skyliner over to DHS around 6 tonight to try to ride Slinky. Dark sky isn’t showing rain until later tonight so fingers crossed.

Will HEA be canceled as well?

EPCOT Forever was cancelled because of the proximity of pyro to guests. HEA will likely be modified to exclude the in-park pyro (launched on and aside the castle), unless conditions worsen. The main pyro is launched a considerable distance away from guests.

If you're going, I'd be prepared for a delay or perhaps even a slightly early start time.

edit: Looks like Steve beat me to it with his news post regarding HEA.

Just watching a stream, show appears 100% intact tonight. Wonder if storm hasn't progressed much yet?

Perhaps they expected it to be worse by showtime for Epcot Forever.

Happily Ever After ran as normal. No Tinkerbell as expected. It's only sprinkling at times and the wait times are non existent for most rides. Perfect night to be in the Magic Kingdom.
