I don’t think that is necessary or realistic…
If the parking lots are flooded above a foot,things are REALLY off the rails
The buses also probably aren't running right now.

Remember when SWGE opened and they…forgot…to adjust portions of the Smuggler’s Run queue for Florida? Oops.Absolutely not
Those parks were built hardened against hurricanes
Why “patrol them?”
Defeats the purpose
To avoid having your car flooded with water at the resort since a number of parking lots are near retention ponds , I would park in the free parking garage at Disney Springs and take a bus to the resort. Doubt Disney would tow a car in this weather.
WDW resorts publicly announced no check-ins after 3pm today, and no check-ins tomorrow on Thurs. So nobody will be checking in to their room tomorrow. They’ll probably be told to stay put today. I can see how that is nerve racking Disney hasn’t been great with messaging but I think they’ll do the right thing for your wife and son. Maybe WL was trying to thin down to only those who had no alternatives? It’s a hard time for all. Sorry.For ticket extension do you think this will be all types of multi-day tickets? My son and wife are out there now and they have the 14 day ultimates which are for UK guests but these only have a 14 day expiry. It looks like they are going to be delayed getting home at least 3 days (should have been Thursday)but wondered if the tickets would be extended so that they can at least go to the parks (the 14 days would be up Thursday). I wasn't sure whether the extension only applied to the US tickets?
Sorry I know thats a bit waffly im a bit stressed as they've been told by wilderness lodge that they cannot stop there past Thursday as there is no room - not sure how they are meant to change hotels at the height of the hurricane!
I was worried alligators would have no where to go until you mentioned the empty Springs garages. Phew.Why would buses be running? The parks are closed. They really don't want guests wandering around the property, other than to go to the resort food court, once they check in today. I imagine the Disney Springs parking garages will be closed at some point to prevent people living in the area using it to park their cars.

That’s a bit extreme. I cannot see a scenario where some parks aren’t back this weekend. Some are better built for this. DAK could be a real mess and even that, they’ll get back quickly.At this point I cannot see a scenario where Disney and Universal reopen on Friday, or the weekend, or the next week or weeks.

After the 2 year old was killed by gators when the kid was playing at the waters edge one night at the Grand Floridian beach in front of his parents, walls were built in by the water edge at the resorts on Bay Lake. If gators can climb, the walls hopefully will protect the guests from encountering FL wildlife.
@lisa12000 any chance we can get an update? Worried about your fam.WDW resorts publicly announced no check-ins after 3pm today, and no check-ins tomorrow on Thurs.

The tickets shouldn’t be a problem. They extended any unused portions a full year.
A) they put up little ropes and signs, not fences
2) gators can clinb fences. Rather swiftly, too. There are really shocking videos on YouTube of this.
Are you saying the snakes will be electrocuted?
The ropes were never for the gators. They’re for the humans.If the water level of both Bay Lake and 7 Seas rises sufficiently from 12+ inches of rain, they'll easily get over those ropes...the ropes may fall over.
Retention ponds catch water so it will filter back into the ground if the ground is already saturated that water is going to over flow those retention ponds let's hope 20" of rain is an over estimate
I say flood that sucker by choiceRemember when SWGE opened and they…forgot…to adjust portions of the Smuggler’s Run queue for Florida? Oops.
