Really wet MK 8/18 with power outages

[wogwog]

It is August in Florida so of course it is raining. Really raining. Be glad you are not at WDW tonight. A very wet friend just told me all of the outdoor rides and attractions are down of course. But in addition the following indoor attractions are down - Little Mermaid, Mickey's PhilharMagic, Space, Small World, Tiki Room, Monsters, Buzz, and Pirates. On the plus side Pooh is only 20 minutes standby. They lost the last MiSiCi and the early night Elec parade. Wishes are currently delayed and I would not count on the late parade. With so many indoor attractions down I would expect flooding or at least very deep standing water. It is also Extra Magic hours for three more hours.

Well I did read the Magic Bands were waterproof.

Most of the MK evidently lost power, which would explain why so much is down. I know some attractions will close if they can't get their exit shops/areas cleared for safety reasons.

That is correct. If during a weather downtime for the outdoor attractions the guests at the indoor attractions are refusing to leave the exit area/show building they will not force them out so they have to then shut down operations until they can clear out some of the guests at the exit areas. This happens more than people think as well, because no one wants to get wet.

I am hearing from friends that power is out at MK & all attractions are down.

Can anyone independently confirm?

Seeing similar reports on Facebook, on the Disney World Addicts page.

I am here right now and The rides are all down but a lot of the power is on. The power outage may be connected to the drainage system because the grounds were flooded like crazy!

Heard Studios had issues as well.

Didn't read that thread. Title says nothing about power out

So far we've been on tea cups and tl gp since the outage. There was a large bolt of lightning that cause the power to flicker through out the park. Some of the power did not return. Astro orbitor and buzz just started up.

I was their earlier, it was very slippery. The draining was horrible

We had a short brownout at POFQ about an hour ago...

I wonder if lighting hit a transformer?

A friend on facebook said power is out at the Yacht Club as well.

I've been there when the power in Liberty Square and Fantasyland were out. I can imagine what a mess a park-wide outage must be like!

At PORS right now. The mansion halls are all quite flooded. Some places over an inch deep!
