Not now Mother Nature...wait your turn
You are right. Closing for a week now would seem no big deal.

I would imagine WDW will close quite a bit due to storms. I imagine if current attendance is barely profitable, then the potential cancellations will cause them to consider just closing everything down rather than keeping the few guests they have in the hotels.

NOAA forecasts 'extremely active' hurricane season for the remainder of 2020
This is one of the most active seasonal forecasts that NOAA has produced in its 22-year history of hurricane outlooks.
Keep in mind the count includes the storms to date and it took until #9 to get the first storm to make landfall as no more than Cat 1. Count me surprised when NOAA predicts an inactive season.
But if I may remind you. It's not like we haven't been here before. There were 31 hurricanes in 2005. I specifically remember Hurricane Wilma then moving to the storms named in order of the Greek alphabet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Atlantic_hurricane_season

Feel free to show us your predictions since yall know better than actual meteorologists.
No one is saying don't prepare but I can't remember the last forecast that said hurricanes were going to be "below average". If you live in Florida, be safe, be smart, and as the Florida Division of Emergency Management says, "Get a plan." It doesn't mean dive under the covers and live in fear which is pretty much what a forecast for an entire season accomplishes. Just keep an eye on the forecast when storms are developing and be ready if one approaches.
I never said I knew what the hurricane season will bring. But what I do know is NOAA is often wrong and almost always is wrong on one side of the scale (more storms). I am simply advocating NOAA's predictions be taken with the proper skepticism. When I was in school being correct 60% of the time was considered a failure.Feel free to show us your predictions since yall know better than actual meteorologists.

Something else to remember is just because they forecast a lot of hurricanes it doesn't mean they'll all end up in Florida or even the US. And yes, I live in Florida about 30 minutes from the gate of mouse.

That's the definition of a tropical storm. What am I missing?

You are aware NOAA is a government agency whose job it is to provide the federal and local government with information for emergency preparedness, and not some media company trying to sell something, right?
You weren't trying to predict the weather.

All it does is take the facts into account and produces a model based off those facts. It's not suggesting landfall or where the storms will hit. It's literally providing insight into what the facts say.
It's crazy how people are so much against any kind of reporting and immediately just label it as someone trying to sell fear.

Right a tropical storm made landfall with "near hurricane" levels. If it's less than 74mph, it's a tropical storm. Got it.
Over half of NJ lost power due to the winds. A good third of them will have a 3-7 day wait to be restored.
Lines down *everywhere*. Just about every house has a pile of tree limbs on the curb for pick-up.
And that's just Tropical Storm force winds.
