I'm not asking for anyone to pay for the hotel just to help us find a room that I can pay for, or even keep us in the same room we were

That's what it looks like from local forecasts and what I'm hoping for.

Actually I didn't ask if anyone would pay for the hotel. I asked if Disney would help us find a room if Delta cancelled our flight. I didn't mean to imply that anyone needed to pay for the room except me.

Why do we need a third thread on a non-storm?

I agree, we don't need three threads on Dorian, but I wouldn't call this a "nonstorm," either. It's expected to be at least a TS when it's projected to hit Florida Sunday, and wind intensity models are all over the place right now. Once it gets over the Bahamas, conditions are favorable to rapidly intensify.

Joy! We arrive on Sunday. The resort we're staying at was closed for about 2 years after "hurricane damage" and just re-opened this year I think. The supposed damage was from the last big storm that hit (matthew? our MNSSHP was cancelled that trip, I just forget which year/storm) though we have our qualms about how truthful that is. As owners (at the time) it def took a LONG time to fix what they claimed was the issue, and raised maintenance fees to a ridiculous amount and offered no substitutions without additional fees (sorry still hurts after 30 years of owning) Guess we'll see if whatever they fixed holds up!

If you already checked out and were at the airport when you found out it was cancelled then probably not.

I'm hoping they would know if they're canceling the flight prior to us getting to MCO.

First thing that came to my mind. LOL
Airlines have to preposition crews and equipment ahead of time. Most airlines will suspend arrivals to MCO first because they don't want to risk their equipment and employees being stranded at MCO if the airport were to suspend operations. If past precedent is maintained Airlines will at least get notice 24 hours prior to MCO suspending operations to adjust their operations. MCO and the Orlando Airport Authority are very good at what they do, especially with social media, and with the major carriers once they cancel a flight, you the passenger know very quickly and ahead of time through apps and text messages.
65 mph winds, coupled with massive amounts of rain, can do lots of damage - I lost trees and power in 2006. I wouldn't be so quick to poo poo Dorian. And there's a new tropical wave in the Atlantic.
Having lived through hurricanes the last 3 years in a row (Hermine, Irma, Michael), I'm keeping a watch on Dorian. Once the storm clears the islands and hits warm, open water, it can intensify pretty quickly. Ask Miami about Andrew.....

Jacksonville had Dora way back in 1964. Now here comes her distant relative Dorian. Let's hope he doesn't decide to follow in her footsteps.

There really shouldn’t be on Labor Day...
But to your point: if someone’s flight is cancelled going out, likely someone else’s flight is canceled going in.

People also act like they’ll have fun In torrential rains...which has never happened once in recorded history. Except on like a lemonade commercial or something.
University discussing what to do about Saturday's game. Not sure a stadium on the St. Johns is best place to hold a game Saturday evening. Could mean move back to Doak....and general admission. I'd go.
