News Major Hurricane Dorian impacts to Walt Disney World 2019

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I'm supposed to fly in on Sept 5th. What's the chances this storm lingers till then I need to change plans?
Stay safe Florida. I rode out Harvey and it was not fun.

absolutely zero

Fortunately, you're arriving before Florida will start to see the effects of the storm. Might be a good day to visit Galaxy's Edge on Saturday.

I'd imagine mid-week next week will be good too (Assuming the Falcon doesn't get blown away)

I never assume someone wants to spend that kinda money on a whim

Looking on the bright side of things, at least the company will have a great way to explain to shareholders any disappointing crowd sizes at Star Wars Land, in case WDW follows Disneyland's Start Wars Land pattern.

I'm trying to not be so negative. Also, DIS is part of one of my index funds, so I'm trying to do my part for the economy.

As someone who was in the eye wall of Michael, if they ask you to leave, please do so. I grew up with storms all my life. (Ivan, Opal, Dennis). Michael was never suppose to be as bad until we woke up next morning and saw a Cat 5 moving towards us with less than 6 hours before landfall.

It will be gone. Expect inconveniences, though, from cleanup, etc.

When it comes to in and around Disney, the only time you'll see any of that might be the day after the storm has passed through. Maybe. Their cleanup crews are amazing when it comes to storms. Been there (and worked there) after a few hurricanes, and in all honesty there was one that I was there for that it took them a bit longer than a day to clean up. The others you couldn't tell at all that a hurricane had finished passing through the day before.

...First day?

a bit early to done the shield isn’t it? There is established pattern to overcome.

Greetings from another Panhandler.

By the time we realized how bad Michael was, it was too late to find anything to evacuate to. Glad you made it through.

If it looks as though Dorian will move out into the Gulf, we've decided to make plans to leave. Heading up to at least Dothan.

Yes, I saw that. Disneyland's Star Wars Land was similarly mobbed on its opening day, before attendance dropped to embarrassing levels.

It won't be Disney. It will be the areas around Disney.

Remember, 70% of DLR's traffic was blacked out until last week. Makes a big difference.

Which is an example of why debating how a hurricane will impact somebody 47th trip to Disney does seem tone deaf, huh?

There’s outward jokes for levity...and then there’s “this”

DLR's traffic

What is DLR?

Disneyland Resort

It’s opening day on a summer holiday weekend with no AP blackouts. I’m surprised that people thought it would be empty. Let’s see what the land is like two weeks from now.

Or when that second, "little" ride opens in December.

I thought this thread was about the approaching hurricane?

I have no doubt they'll do amazing work. But hurricanes being hurricanes, nature will do the inconveniencing. Disney will certainly lessen the inconveniences by a considerable degree.
