Yeah, the latest updates seem to indicate it will be around longer than originally anticipated. All the park operators will have to look at where we are tomorrow and make a decision on opening or opening late on Friday. In the past, Disney has tried to focus on getting one or two parks open so they can concentrate resources on clean-up there. Then with the first park(s) open they can move their attention to the others. The intense landscaping at Animal Kingdom takes a beating in storms like this, especially given how saturated the soil already is so it's usually the last one to reopen.The state is predicting hurricane/TS effects in Central Florida through Friday. If WDW reopens on Saturday, I'll be surprised. Expect lots of flooding in the area.
They'll also have issues getting cast members in who are without power and dealing with damage, and other storm-related issues making to challenging for them to get to work as normal. Nobody should expect or demand business as unusual in the days immediately following this storm.
