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.

…but now it’s “reserved”…which means there’s no reason to turn anyone away…

Unless…the “reservations” are a crowd direction system so they can extract equal Pennies from the college programmers across the board?

Possible?

KUA has restored power to just over 90% of its residents, which is quite a job done by them today. Not sure about Duke, since I don’t have them. But really a heck of a job by KUA and whatever team of linemen they called in from out of state (Minnesota, I think).

Got a text from duke saying power will not be restored in our neighborhood until at least 8am tomorrow. Can’t complain too much since our manufactured home had no damage and we’re not dealing with 90° temps. And our generator is keeping our fridge running (gotta go catch it!)

If it’s any clue, United has all flights due to arrive prior to 10 am delayed till after 10am and all departing flights prior to noon canceled.

So you're not coming down?

How much demand is there for park reservations in the first few days after reopening? A lot of tourists left and others are going to take a few days to come in on delayed trips. A lot of locals are going to be cleaning up for a while so I can't see them jamming the parks. The past Disney may have limited to resort guests because they knew how many people that meant. With reservations they have a clearer picture of how many people might come.

I went the week after Dorian and it was normal mid-September crowds. I think there’s such a huge turnover on the weekends that the crowds will likely be normal next week - if people are able to fly in.

Park details for staggered openings for tomorrow are starting to come in. Not limited to resort guests.

Duke has Altamone Spring power back on. At least in my daughters area.

Epcot will also open.

I'd pick up bottled water once you arrive...if you can find any.

Pre-Irma, I had a CM friend who was unable to secure any water for us, so I packed up an entire case and brought it with us. That bag weighed 54 lbs, but JetBlue waived the fee when I explained it was water.

Any news on MCO? We're supposed to arrive on Saturday at 3pm ET and go to the parks starting Sunday but haven't seen any MCO updates other than the one in this forum.
