Or do like I'm doing and strap a bunch of Gerry cans to your vehicle.
They were definitely closed for at least part of a day. I was at the Grand the day the worst hit. Winds were so strong it blew the sliding lobby doors off their tracks into the lobby (a few feet, nothing overly crazy).
It didn't at all. Parks stayed open.

I 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.

Hello everyone just to update you on my plans thanks to your advise I have changed my plane ticket home from Charlotte to Orlando on the same day. For next week I have booked at the all star movie 3 nights from Monday to Thursday. Afterwards I hope I'll be able to enjoy universal
Good to hear. Best is for you to stay and shelter at Disney. Staff will take care of you.

Something interesting happened with the 12Z Euro run. Dorian hugs the coast but never makes landfall. The European has been consistent for the past several runs with a solution which is trending east off the coast. If this scenario hold it would spare Florida a significant impact.
Other models runs have also shifted east as well, not as far as the European, but trending in that direction. Right now the west most track is the official NHC track. Models are coming together in agreement and confidence is increasing.

Nope. Just gas up the rental and get on the road as soon as you can. If you haven't yet, download the GasBuddy app to facilitate finding gas stations with gas. I'd fill up when you get to Orlando.
Enjoy your trip.

If you can find gas here, the pumps are already starting to dry up.

Keep posting encouraging info like this and there'll be two loaves of banana bread in your future.
Hopefully by the time he gets there tankers will be able to resupply stations.

Hopefully. The few stations in my area that still have fuel had pretty long lines this afternoon.

The Euro Model is not infallible, it certainly screwed up with Irma, but it does have a good track record. With a storm setup like this, 50 miles one way or the other could make an enormous difference between catastrophe and a rainy day.

It's actually a thing. I learned about it somewhere around the 2004 hurricane season.

I don't drink rum. Unless it's part of a daiquiri. Can I switch my shot to tequila?
