Where is the schedule??

Should be publicly released soon - so standby.

 

[Mermaid2004]

Will HS be open??

Not sure Hulk will be. The section that was under water usually skims the top of the water. Just have to drain it down a bit and a through inspection. JP I totally agree.

Thank you! Is HS on it? My reservation is still there..

 

[Vacationeer]

So will you have to go to whichever park you already have a reservation for?
Had one for Hollywood studios but that was also the last park I went to before the hurricane

Unknown at this point as far as switching parks. Tomorrow is still locked/grey but Sat Oct 1 is green.

Do you have a hopper? I’d keep an eye out for updates, especially tomorrow morning.

The queue for El Mercado at CSR currently stretches into the convention centre.

But also puts them at risk of crushing their roofs when the water level raises so much. My guess is they put them under there more to keep them from getting swamped due to the sustained rains.

I was thinking of that too. Sometimes (though it’s rare), the friendship boats can’t operate because the high water levels make it impossible to clear some of the bridges.

Yes

Lucky for those guests. A previous post advised no quick service dining at Port Orleans, Carribean , and Grand Floridian.

 

[Mermaid2004]

Yes

Thank you!! Saw the skyliner being tested just now at AoA.

Centertown Market and Grab & Go are open at Caribbean Beach and have been since midday. We went there for dinner a couple of hours ago. I think the Disney website just took a little while to update the page for the restaurants

As I understand it, Universal can drain the lakes including Hulk quite easily (maybe not quickly).

However there’s concern the storm sewer system is still backlogged so they aren’t dumping into it yet.

They’re also lowering levels of resort flooding first.

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

Senor Frogs was open on I Drive when we walked past earlier

So for my family they are at WL and have tickets (extended from closure) but obvs don’t have a reservation atm as they were supposed to be home! I assume they will get an opportunity to make a reservation? Hopefully

I noticed the queue on my way out.

Feel sorry for any CMs who live in these flooded locations in Orlando and Kissimmee. Looks awful

Friends from Ft. Myers says it was basically wiped off the map. Really bad damage and some casualties unfortunately.
