During Matthew they had box meals at the resorts for $13 I believe...hopefully they will do better this time.

My guess is the parks will reopen Tuesday with select attractions (like Tom Sawyer Island and other outdoor stuff) closed until they can be cleaned up. No idea about MNSSHP on Tuesday night.

I honestly don't think that Disney would do the reverse.
Also hopefully- More guests may have taken responsibility for their family's welfare this time.

Parts of I-75 in Atlanta have PeachPass toll lanes which do charge, but the regular interstate does not have any tolls. PeachPass is purely optional. Although considering the circumstances I do agree that PeachPass should be waived for now...

Everyone keeps texting me their Zello usernames. I don't even understand what the app does.
EAST!! Please please please Irma.. GO EAST!! I can't even look at this.

Omg. Who are the IDIOTS that think it's fun to spread Fake News at a time like this?!?!!!
It's already happening. Facebook "shares" that SoFla is turning off power before the storm. Only to find out it isn't true.
If you see this in Orlando- check validity before sharing.

Officially issued for Orlando area..
Forecast winds are below that of Charley in 2004
1131 AM EDT Fri Sep 8 2017
...HURRICANE WATCH IN EFFECT...
A Hurricane Watch means Hurricane wind conditions are possible
somewhere within this area and within the next 48 hours
* LOCATIONS AFFECTED
- Orlando
- Apopka
- Christmas
* WIND
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Equivalent Cat 1 Hurricane force wind
- Peak Wind Forecast: 60-80 mph with gusts to 95 mph
- Window for Tropical Storm force winds: Sunday afternoon
until Monday afternoon
- CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Extreme
- The wind threat has remained nearly steady from the
previous assessment.
- Emergency planning should include a reasonable threat for
major hurricane force wind greater than 110 mph of
equivalent Category 3 intensity or higher.
- To be safe, aggressively prepare for the potential of
devastating to catastrophic wind impacts. Efforts should
now be underway to secure all properties.
- Extremely dangerous and life-threatening wind is possible.
Failure to adequately shelter may result in serious injury,
loss of life, or immense human suffering.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Devastating to Catastrophic
- Structural damage to sturdy buildings, some with complete
roof and wall failures. Complete destruction of mobile
homes. Damage greatly accentuated by large airborne
projectiles. Locations may be uninhabitable for weeks or
months.
- Numerous large trees snapped or uprooted along with fences
and roadway signs blown over.
- Many roads impassable from large debris, and more within
urban or heavily wooded places. Many bridges, causeways,
and access routes impassable.
- Widespread power and communications outages.
* FLOODING RAIN
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:
- Peak Rainfall Amounts: Additional 8-12 inches, with locally
higher amounts
- CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Moderate
- The flooding rain threat has remained nearly steady from
the previous assessment.
- Emergency planning should include a reasonable threat for
moderate flooding where peak rainfall totals notably exceed
amounts conducive for flash flooding and rapid inundation.
Rescues and emergency evacuations are possible.
- To be safe, earnestly prepare for the potential of
significant flooding rain impacts.
- Dangerous flooding is possible. Failure to take action may
result in serious injury or loss of life. If flood related
watches and warnings are issued, heed recommended actions.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
- Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations
and rescues.
- Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with
swift currents and overspill their banks in a few places,
especially in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams,
creeks, canals, and ditches will overflow.
- Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken
foundations. Several places may experience expanded areas
of rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and
poor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on
moving water as storm drains and retention ponds overflow.
Driving conditions will become hazardous with some road and
bridge closures.
* TORNADO
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:
- Situation is somewhat favorable for tornadoes
- CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Elevated
- The tornado threat has remained nearly steady from the
previous assessment.
- Emergency planning should include a reasonable threat for
isolated tornadoes, mostly with shorter and narrower damage
paths.
- To be safe, prepare for the potential of limited tornado
impacts.
- Listen for tornado watches and warnings. Be ready to
shelter quickly if a tornado approaches.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
- The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the
execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
- A few places may experience tornado damage, along with
power and communications disruptions.
- Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings,
chimneys toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or
overturned, large tree tops and branches snapped off,
shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving vehicles blown
off roads, and small boats pulled from moorings.

You will be fine in Tallahassee. If it does somehow stay off the peninsula and make a panhandle hit, you'll have lots of extra time to move... but even then, Tallahassee should be fine as long as you are in a well built structure.

The castle yeah, but I may have fell for this as well momentarily.. at least enough to actually see if it was true.. the castle I would have laughed and moved on.
