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

[marni1971]

That is under normal circumstances, this is not normal. I would think that limiting entrance to those on site would be safer than having people off site driving on roads which could be flooded.

It’s not that bad. Yes, there are roads with water on them. There are pockets underwater. But it’s not the majority by any stretch.

I would lose it as a offsite guest with reservations and then not be able to get in.

Some of the park openings may depend on staffing. Some may live in flooded areas

Never said it was that bad. Just something to be considered.

That would be rather selfish considering the situation.

It’s considered.

 

[plutofan15]

It’s considered.

I am aware that it is.

Really? If I have spent thousands, planned, did their reservation system only to be held at the door but resort guest get in? If the roads are that flood and dangerous then, for the sake of their cast, they shouldn't open at all.

That's a terrible take. These aren't normal circumstances.

OMG need to vent on how horrible humans can be. I don’t know if any of you have heard about this woman on Twitter who’s getting tons of PR looking for her mother who didn’t evacuate on Fort Myers beach. Here’s her



Anyways poor lady Is now also a victim of a possible scam. I’m attaching a screenshot of a text message she got of someone claiming to have found her mother and who then put her up at a hotel and now needs to be paid back. ! Thank God this lady is smart enough to question this and someone else on Twitter confirmed that the telephone number is a burner phone number.


I mean this just totally sickens me. There’s a good chance this woman’s mother is not alive seeing where she lived; So she’s on a two story new build so there’s hope. I believe a few pages back someone posted the original Twitter post were her mother had some pictures of the first floor being flooded.

No inside info, but I'm guessing that the main parks will be opened tomorrow, maybe some with a delayed opening.

 

[Disney Analyst]

A happy ending.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Hello we are supposed to arrive in Disney on Saturday (10/1) and hit the parks Sunday - Tuesday. Curious, historically are the parks emptier after hurricanes? Are they short-staffed so not all rides, etc are open?

Maybe a day or two and they’ll fill back up quickly.

October is…ummm…yeah…not what It used to be

 

[mkt]

Yeah, REALLY not wanting pizza again Tonight. Any open restaurants around Universal, please list.

Check out the Waffle House at 5350 S Kirkman Rd

So we’ve seen WDW/Uni/BG updates - any info on how Legoland fared?

There are times they have turned offsite guests away before. Many times, in the past. Traditionally they've only guaranteed park entry to onsite guests (and even then, guaranteed comes with caveats). This is nothing new.

They are always going to prioritize resort guests. They have many stuck in the resorts, they will get first dibs.

As they should.

Cast members are being told that if their shift starts at or later then 9PM, that they are to report to work.

So if they’re in Kissimmee where there’s a curfew, they have to hang out at WDW before &/or after their shift? That could be all night for those starting at 6am. I would hope there will be some leeway for those affected.

Curfew doesn’t include those legitimately commuting.
