I know! The biggest weekend of DHS History! Are we worried about the low crowds or am I overreacting?

It will be too crowded so no one will show up. LOL. Yes, the park will be at or near capacity most of the weekend.

My family & I have a trip scheduled for this weekend - arrive Saturday morning, leave Monday afternoon.
Now? I'm not so sure... this was going to be our last trip for a while too, as we all were not planning on renewing our annual passes due to the increase in prices
I'd hate to cancel our reservations only for Dorian to turn out as a "minor" storm after all; on the contrary, I'd be a bit crushed if we do continue through with our plans, but end up having a lot of places/rides/events closed or have a storm turn out stronger than anticipated.
I've never been there during a potential weather threat, so excuse any silly first-timer worries lol. I figured a tropical storm would be taken as seriously by WDW as a hurricane, but I appreciate any insight on the matter!

Driving or flying? You'll know sometime Friday. I wouldn't worry until then.

Driving roughly 2.5 hours.
You've got plenty of time, then.

Flying in Saturday at 11am. Should I be worried about it?
Contact your airlines. They have protocols for flying into areas affected by tropical cyclones.
Thanks!
Sorry! I just want SWGE to do well for DHS/WDW! Esp after the intresting summer SWGE gave DL...

Thanks. I did call today. They said no changes as of yet. Just psyching myself out right now.

This applies in Wisconsin every day.
Tomorrow or Thursday.
Best to keep apprised of the progress of the storm (not via the Weather Channel). Too early yet to determine where and when it will hit.
And if you arrive as planned and the storm arrives 24-36 hours later, you're in a good place. As I stated earlier, many of us in Florida now look at WDW as a place to evacuate to.

Waiting with every ounce of patience I possess. >_<
Yup, I just want to get there! Praying that we can arrive Sat. morning but totally willing to fly in on Friday for peace of mind. It’s just so last minute though.
Hope things turn out well on your end!
I'm up in NW Florida. Won't be impacted much by Dorian unless it moves across Central Florida and then out into the Gulf. Then I might be heading to WDW to avoid it, lol.

Another excuse for light crowds during the SWGE opening.

I did that with Hermine. Seriously. Already had a reservation and my power was out anyway. I got the heck of dodge and went to WDW.
We were leaving for Uni the morning following Hermine. But the vet was closed, so we had to cancel.
The morning of Michael, I was on the phone with both WDW and Best Friends (to board my cat). No room at Disney. But fortunately the vet reopened Saturday morning as we had a weekend reservation and a cruise Monday.
If Dorian hits the Gulf and winks at Tally, I'm going to WDW....the kids can board my cat.
