The combined model shows it staying off the coast and just skirting. However, half the models show it staying south and the other half show it staying off the coast. No way to tell for sure at the moment.

You're going tomorrow? For how long? Its not going to even be as far north as the Keys until Saturday, and Central FL until Sun. You might get wind and rain, but no major storm.

Do Not Cancel. The worst this storm will be, according to the weather (I am in New Orleans and our weather people are watching it) watchers is a tropical storm, which is, really, like a prolonged, bad thunderstorm. It should not interfere with your trip.

It is far to early to tell. For example, Hurricane Charley was not expected to directly hit Polk County FL. (where I live) until about 1 hour before it hit us because it took an unexpected turn. In other words, those models are not reliable enough to be accurate at this point. However, even if the tropical storm does somehow hit Disney it would not be wise to cancel your trip. Tropical storm's typically amount to nothing, but a significant amount of rain similar to a heavy thunderstorm.

Speaking as someone who ended up moving during a tropical storm a few years ago--they really aren't too big of a deal. Just a really big, slightly-more-intense-than-usual thunderstorm. Hurricanes...that's a different story.

According to the weather channel .com the storm is no longer even a tropical storm and they are no longer even tracking the project path so i would saw you are good to go

Everyone hopes for sunny skies, but a rainy day means shorter lines. I pack our ponchos in case we get some precipitation. Don't let it dissuade you, let it dissuade everyone else.

One thing you should know about Disney is that it is actually a very safe place to be if a strong storm such as a hurricane comes through. The locals actually will go to the property and stay there. I have had numerous clients there when storms have come through and in all the years I have been booking I have only had one shorten their trip due to a storm coming.
