I wonder if Disney's layoffs during the pandemic impacted their global security/emergency management division? That could certainly be as much of a factor as resort-level having a lesser frame of reference. The loss of senior resort management who'd been through similar storms can only make things worse. Little odd that Disney wouldn't think to put away patio furniture when the local stations have been telling us to do that for a week...

As someone with a background in training and development, and a long interest in Disney's emergency ops, this is kinda concerning, but also a fascinating learning experience.

You are very lucky... Exercise is very important - and I suppose you can explore as much of the indoor areas of the building as they'll let you. Comfy chairs in the lobby should provide a nice change of pace!

The pandemic had a big impact on almost every large organizations emergency management team and preparedness, whether from layoffs or neglecting almost every other aspect of their EOP that wasn’t pandemic related. But, leader changes occur in a regular world too, so adequate training, exercises and preparation are actually more beneficial if there are sound EOP’s and BCP’s in place.

We were staying in the cabins at Wilderness Lodge and told we needed to relocate to the main building by 8:00 AM. We were told that Wilderness and Animal Kingdom Lodges were some of the best places to be during a hurricane because they were both designed to sustain category 4 hurricanes, but also because none of the room doors open outside, so we’re not confined to our rooms during lockdown. I’d think that’s the case at other Deluxe properties the new towers. Also told, during the last hurricane, Disney discounted the food.

I think most of the resorts were built to withstand a Cat 3 storm. But WL is a great place to ride out Ian.

Most of the resorts are going to be a Risk Category II structure designed for an ultimate wind load (3 second gust) of 139 mph with some of the larger structures potentially bumping up to a Risk Category III which requires a 149 mph ultimate wind load (EPCOT Building Code 904.2). The ultimate wind load is not the point at which the structure will fail, a lot of redundancy is designed into a structure, but it is the minimum criteria. One component the resorts do not feature is the missile impact rated glazing required in areas closer to the coasts and further south.

Seriously. I mentioned being evacuated from out manufactured home 2 miles west of DAK. We booked a hotel that offers free breakfast, but we also know they might run out or we might not even be able to leave our room in the morning to go get it. We’ve packed enough food for the 5 of us (well, 4, since the baby isn’t on solids yet, but I have to eat enough for two sometimes to keep my milk supply up!) to last until Friday night just in case. Not everyone at the hotels are locals, and many vacationers are probably without cars and couldn’t get to a store before hand ti stock up.
