There is Utilidors at Magic Kingdom and a small tunnel system over Future World at Epcot.Does Disney world not have a connection of underground emergency tunnels?
Nope, altho on multiple occasions people have been told by cast that they have them under the hotels "just incase", no idea why but apparently the thought of going UNDER the water calms people down . If you go on a few of the trip report sites and read peoples accounts from hurricanes in the 2000s it seemed to be a pretty common thing, some even going as far as to say they have tunnels connecting all hotels for emergencies, which of course is a massive fib!Does Disney world not have a connection of underground emergency tunnels?
Seems like that would be the ideal place for cast members to be if they aren’t allow to leave.
They've never done that before. Why would they now?Perfect conditions to be preparing the parks without guests in them.
Nobody is suggesting a 4-5 day closure, but providing enough advance notice to park guests that a park may close earlier than expected in order to allow CMs enough time to prepare their own homes is necessary.I'm not sure why everyone thinks they would close 24 if not 48 hours prior to landfall. That has never been protocol. Nothing they are doing (or not doing) is anything different than the way it's done every time.
Since it's been known, why does Disney need to also inform people. If you're in a area that could be affected badly, do something. Don't wait for Disney to say something.Nobody is suggesting a 4-5 day closure, but providing enough advance notice to park guests that a park may close earlier than expected in order to allow CMs enough time to prepare their own homes is necessary.
We knews for a few days now that the Central Florida area will be impacted somehow by heavy rains and winds for Wed/Thr, why not start giving notice in advance? Central Florida has been in the center of the track for days now.
Now be an employee and try to have time to prep without calling out.Since it's been known, why does Disney need to also inform people. If you're in an area that could be affected badly, do something. Don't wait for Disney to say something.

Yep! UOR and SWO have the same responsibility WDW has!Just to be clear, those who are upset regarding not announcing plans for closures are bent out of shape at Universal and Sea World as well, correct? Considering all three are essentially saying the same thing.
What would you like them to say? If they've not actually figured out when they will close (which isnt unreasonable nor unexpected, you dont make calls like this early and end up with parks sitting empty when they didnt need to be) then all they can say is what every single person knows - they MAY close at some point.Nobody is suggesting a 4-5 day closure, but providing enough advance notice to park guests that a park may close earlier than expected in order to allow CMs enough time to prepare their own homes is necessary.

Well, she keeps going back and forth. But honestly, a good chunk of the neighborhood stays every hurricane. Having said that, I have a feeling if the fire department comes and knocks on everyone’s door telling them to evacuate - which is what they do when they anticipate it to be particularly bad – she’ll head out and join us.
2012 a team advised Disney the day before that one not to be mentioned wanted to make a speech on tourism in front of the MK castle. MK was closed to the public all morning next day , prepared the park for one VIP and even Iger and Staggs flew last minute from Burbank to attend.Perfect conditions to be preparing the parks without guests in them.
I'm talking about people who aren't in evacuation zones at all. Voluntary evacuation zones should get out as soon as there is a decent likelihood of the storm hitting where they are. I'm talking about people who live 10 miles inland on highish (for Florida) ground that evacuate because they don't want to have to live without power for a few days.
WESH is advising 100 mph hurricane force winds going through Central Florida 8 am Thursday . Charley in 2004 winds topped 106mph which severely damaged roofs and wrecked a number of neighborhoods in Orlando and Kissimmee.If a strong Cat 4 rolls through Orlando, how sturdy are the larger buildings at Disney (castle, SSE, Tree)
