Lol, leave it to Disney to lag behind and follow the industry leaders: Universal, Sea World, and Legoland\
Good Job, Good Effort Disney! Maybe one of these days you'll be able to compete with the likes of Legoland.

Not surprised if booked hotels selling for higher rate. Saw online United jacked up the rates on one way fare from MCO to NYC. 3 days ago the fare was $600, he paid the current fare of $1200 , must be those hurricane fares. Good for your friend. Weather channel reporting all hotel rooms in Jacksonville are full. What the guests are paying to escape harms way might be a bit of an increase.
https://fl511.com/region/Statewide#:MyRoutes#Camera Great resource. Has real time traffic with pics and video.
Close to a direct hit from a hurricane on Thursday and TDO thinks they could maybe open Springs later that day. Wow. Just... wow.
There will be a line for Gideons tomorrow morning.
Yeah...that does not outweigh the safety of CM's. That is an awfully quick security sweep for a Category major storm likely hiting the property in the wee hours just before this.
They have stiff drinks at the hotel properties.

Actually the models are shifting continuously to the south as the storm continues tracking further and further to the east than anticipated. If this continues apace, WDW may be spared a direct hit.
Nope, they aren't for guests in the theme parks. UOR ultimately is closing earlier with a hard close at 2PM. Disney Springs, as I suspected will not close that early. Also, CM's are going to have quite a trek home. (backstage at Disney property is the longest process to leave. If you have worked at MK you know this for sure) But why even consider Thursday?

We should all hope for that!!!!!!!! Along with every Orlando/Tampa Park!!!!!!!
That is great...
1. If it happens.
2. All of their CMs they will need have the means and live north of property. Literally thousands of CMs live in areas south.(The people who will be expected to come in tomorrow on roads while Emergency services are telling people to not leave their homes after the storm unitl given clears)
You can't judge even that close to where it is hitting yet. There is a lot of time to shift all sorts of ways.

One of these days they'll get organized enough to be able to respond to things like this as responsibly as..

May be the understatement of the year
St. Pete yesterday to north of Sarasota today isn't much of a shift to the south. And the first public advisory on Saturday from the NHC had landfall around Sarasota.

Universal's done the same antics before. Hurricane Ian, albeit was about a day and a half later, but they reopened with 2 rides in each park.

This is something that they’re gonna wait and see I assume

Its not ready until I give my final call... that being said the models are favoring Tampa to Sarasota.

Yeah, they haven't confirmed an opening, but will do so if feasible.
They've been through this before and presumably have a decent idea of how quickly DS can bounce back from a hurricane.
