News Heat Advisory Issued for Walt Disney World Theme Parks Area - July 8 2024

I had friends there for the past week and they said the heat wasn't that bad. Coming from MN, where it's been cooler and rainy as hell so far this summer, that says something.

Just my opinion -
Just like with hurricanes, the media likes to play up the heat to get clicks and views.

Hurricanes get over-hyped at first, but when one is approaching US soil, it's go time. Having been in Orlando during Ian in 2022, I discovered that things can get ugly in a hurry and you have to be prepared. Florida residents on these forums can probably attest to that.

Better over hype than not. The prep , the ride out, the aftermath clean up/ repair ( and good luck to try finding an honest contractor to even come close to the price of the insurance estimator to fix your roof, etc ). Natural disasters bring out the worst in some people who prey like leeches to take advantage of many desperate in need post hurricane assistance. Easy to others to critique when one hasn't ridden out a Cat 3/4 hiding with your family in your walk in closet. You've been in Ian so you know the tremendous stress that goes with the impending storm.
