Can someone please post a picture of the monorails being parked inside CR? I seriously cant wrap my head around how that looks.

Glad we are not down there with our dogs boarded at Best Friends, I see that they will also close. They are not fans of heavy wind and rain. They were there with us when a bad thunder storm roiled thru in the middle of the night. We were able to check on them via the webcam and a staff member was sitting with them watching TV. The staff there is the best!

At the airport in Boston right now waiting to check in for my flight. Room in Tampa is confirmed for today and friends in Inervess are on standby as my super emergency back up. Can anyone locally advise what time tomorrow the storm is supposed to be clearing Orlando? Trying to figure out if I should book another night at the same hotel in Tampa when I arrive.

I would stay in Tampa. Most likely lots of debris and power outages

It would only be 2 monorails they can't find anymore than that in there.

Ugh I was living in Sayreville when Sandy hit and that was not fun. I cannot even begin to imagine what a Cat 3/4 would be like.

I wasn't too far away! I lived in Bound Brook...still have a house there.

I wonder what they will take down. All those Halloween decorations and all the stuff in the active construction zones. Wowza. Sad I had to turn around in Baltimore instead of going to Orlando, but praying that everyone stays safe!

I saw a photo of them wrapping glass light poles in Epcot.

Saw an older thread that had a pic of two of them nose to nose, but that was said they aren't even allowed to do that anymore. Can only keep the one that would normally be at the station in there now

Exactly my point, the staff at that facility is top notch.

I was in Orlando for Floyd back in the 90's. Disney closed then, but it all turned out to be nothing. The storm did a hook to the east at the last minute, and didn't hit land till the Carolinas. I remember my crewmate and me standing in a line at the 7/11 that went around the entire inside of the store. We got the last 2 hoagies in the store, and that was dinner for the night!

It's nothing spectacular. From Allears.

Well this should be fun. We are definitely gonna see the structural integrity of the Pandora stuff in the next two days. IN the mean time i will be battening down the hatches and getting ready for the storm.

I imagine it looks just like when they are passing through, just a whole lot slower....

@wdwmagic posted update links to the first page of the thread.

Wow, I really misspoke there. It appears there were 65 Deaths. Yikes how did I miss that...

Yeah, I was wondering where you two got that info from. I think under 50 were in SoFla.. But that's still a lot more than 0. Too many.

TWC now saying possible upgrade to Category 5 before the storm strikes Florida later this evening. Oh, man.....

Gotta love Tommy Boy aka Mr. Clickbait walking around the MK on periscope this am with the title of his video "Walking through the Magic Kingdom during Hurricane Matthew." Meanwhile, in the video it's mostly sunny and 99% of the guests were wearing shorts. Do us a favor Tom, walk out there when the real rain and hurricane force winds hit.
