Good for Florida, potentially horrible for the Carolinas
11pm NHC advisory has it potentially offshore never hitting land. Depending on how overnight models run, expect the 5am to be even further offshore.

When was the last time a U.S. commercial aircraft crashed due to weather conditions?

Just got an email blast from Wild Adventure Themepark in Valdosta, Georgia. It seems they are...
It's not Disney, but it is free*
00z models running. Most have Dorian never impacting land. Still to soon to tell, but certainly a good trend.
I believe they did the same during IrmaI haven't been to Wild Adventures in years.
I wonder who’s running the tabs modelGreat news. For future reference - the guy I follow at spacecityweather.com has been discussing this (that it's NOT a sure thing this storm will even hit Florida) for several days now. He's a real scientist unlike the people you see reading scripts on the weather channel (and selling you crap through their endless ads). The news people make money sensationalizing these stories...
Are we not all on a message board ( a fine one I might add) on a Friday night, including you?I get you live on these message boards, are home on a Friday night, have nothing to do, etc... but why try to personalize everything? We're not friends. There's no personal relationship. You have no idea what my mechanical background is or is not, just as I have no idea what yours is. I'm not calling you an idiot because I'll never know if you or are aren't. That's why I linked to an expert on this who is frankly renowned in the community where I live. My opinion is my own just as yours is... why not just be respectful and say "I disagree" and move on. Your age is as irrelevant as mine is. Can we go back to discussing the hurricane and it's impact (or not) on WDW?
And yes, my OPINION is that this is shaping up to be a non-event for WDW. I'd be there this weekend if I didn't have nonrefundable reservations somewhere else starting tomorrow. That's my opinion. I'm not here as as community leader and neither are you - people make their own decisions.
Am I the only one who kind of wishes he was there? I think being at Disney during a hurricane would be a fascinating experience, even if I don't get to see them disassembling the castle.
I haven't been through a hurricane since Sandy, and I'm not quite sure why I'm so eager to repeat the experience.
Fair. I don't have kids, so it's less of an issue for me.Only if I needed to evacuate. I'd spend the entire time worrying about my family and my house.
TABS is on drugs.00z models running. Most have Dorian never impacting land. Still to soon to tell, but certainly a good trend.

TABS is Florida ManTABS is on drugs.
So...like 24 then?I get you live on these message boards, are home on a Friday night, have nothing to do, etc... but why try to personalize everything? We're not friends.

that’s frankly terrible advice. Wdw call centers should not venture such opinions. Just State the policies and any updates.FWIW
Two different CM encouraged us to go ahead with our vacation after both my wife and I called with concerns and a possible reschedule.
They cited how the resorts were built with such storms in mind, and if the park shuts down they will ensure that guests were taken care of, etc.
We shall see. Probably going to leave here (Jacksonville) for the resort about 4am. I'll post if I see anything funky going down on the 95.
Bad advice again...don’t encourage.I think you will have a great time and enjoy at least 30% fewer crowds!!!! Jealous.
Andrew was way south of us and was a small but powerful storm so there really wasn't any impact in OrlandoI was at MGM Studios the day it hit.
Didn't close. And I don't think the other Parks closed either.
We felt some heavy winds in the afternoon, but just briefly.
Never been in Fantasyland in a heavy rain, have ya?That's true for Orlando, but not necessarily Walt Disney World, whose drainage is pretty exceptional with a few exceptions.
Dodging the worst of the winds would make for a much easier WDW recovery.
However, the Cast Members would still have to make through the floods to work.
Charly ripped the sides of some building in Orlando including a hotel downtownSo can thunderstorms. And really - your THAT familiar with Central Florida building codes? Or just (another) stubborn "I have to be right" Curmudgeon?
