Not until this very second. I should see if I can reschedule the cruise...
I am terrible, once my brain locks into something I find it difficult to change...
I am calling over to the Board Walk now..
Thanks

I think that's about right. There could be 2 pretty wet days, but I don't think it would be bad enough to close any parks the way it's looking now.

Agreed. And actually, the latest update for NHS at 11am decreases the hurricane chances for Monday and Tuesday to 22%. The storm seems to be struggling to form a solid center and is tracking further west. I still think the Orlando area will get some wind and rain Mon & Tue, but its looking less likely to be an actual hurricane.
Looking better by the hour!

We live on the West Coast of Florida (Home of Hurricane Charley's Landfall in 2004 
) so we are a little cane-shy here.... but hoping this one goes further west and leaves Florida alone cept maybe for some rain .. there has been plenty of rain here this summer so we have standing water in a lot of places (ditches etc) since the ground is not so dry..... so a lot of rain could cause flooding.. and at least along the Gulf Coast there is the concern with storm surge.
If we were to evacuate (this storm, next storm, any storm) I would say there isnt another place I'd rather stay at than WDW.... they take good care of all of us during these things....and your safety is #1.

As with any bad storms, Hurricanes included, you must be careful. As a local, who lives 10 minutes from Disney and we locals are more concern with "lightning strikes" and trees falling even after the storm passes. Most major parks in Florida already have an "action" plan as these storms/Hurricanes patterns are a seasonal event.

so my question would be if it does hit (praying that it makes a sharp turn away from wdw and the rest of FL) when should it be out of there mid-week?

I'm encouraged, too.
I hate this feeling of selfishly wanting it to go hurt other people instead of me. And I think things like, "Well, better my house cave in than some old person with mobility problems." I understand that mother nature will wave her hand and toss trouble at her whim. My hopes aren't going to count for anything. Devastation will happen where it happens. But I'm sometimes ashamed of myself for hoping it happens somewhere else. Surely I am better off, no matter what, than the people of Haiti or Cuba. I have a stronger house and more money (generally) and insurance...
In any event, it is entirely possible that poor Isaac's To Be Or Not To Be-ing will cause him to sleep. Maybe even dream.
He could still get himself together, certainly. Not jinxing anyone!
Joyce, though. She's had no identity crisis at all. She's like, "Isaac, you big baby. Let me show you how it's done." I hope she whips herself into a fury and dies out before she hits anywhere.
Fingers crossed for everyone's safety and good fortune.

Made it to YC - everything looks great! Sunday afternoon and Monday look stormy, but I will make the best of it and plan to turn Isaac into some Magical experience.

OMG, the poor Haitians.
I sat and wondered whether I should bring my patio furniture inside...like it being damaged was some kind of real problem.
We are so lucky to have First World Problems.
Thoughts and prayers for all the people who, when storms come, have nothing but a tent to protect them.

We'll most likely get a bunch of rain dumped on us, but probably nothing more than that.

I was just looking at the weather in my favorite place and it looks like that storm is gonna hit pretty hard all week. I was just wondering if anyone was down there to let us all know how and what the park is doing to prepare for the storm. Are any rides closed?
