You'll be fine. Just more wet than you'd like to be. Bring a poncho!

Pack some patience. A number of outdoor shows and venues won’t be operating. Test Track at Epcot doesn’t operate in the rain.

While Test Track may not operate in the rain, you do get a special performance of Journey of Mud in EPCOT. Bring a ladder to see the fun over the walls!

Set to fly out Wednesday night with the first park day on Thursday. I'm guessing that doesn't happen as planned.

Might not. I kept my trip during Ian but I lost out on a Wednesday and Thursday as it was coming through and I stayed sequestered in my resort. You won't have it as bad but you still might lose out on Thursday due to the wind and rain.

Well the good news is that this will definitely not be another Hurricane Ian. Just some strong winds and rain.

It's a kick in the ankles after several hard punches in the face.

Yeah but….


(In case it’s behind a paywall) The official Atlantic hurricane season runs through Nov. 30. But hurricanes this late in the season are rare, and only a few have made U.S. landfall.

The latest forecasts from the National Hurricane Center make it clear that this week a storm with hurricane-force winds could be menacing the east coast of Florida.

Just a reminder: It’s November.

And yes, the official Atlantic hurricane season runs through Nov. 30. But that doesn’t mean that Subtropical Storm Nicole, as the system was named on Monday, wouldn’t be a rare event if it strengthened to hurricane status over warm waters near the Bahamas and hit the United States — an outcome the forecast says is likely.

Here are some of the ways that a Hurricane Nicole would be unusual, according to Phil Klotzbach, a senior research scientist at Colorado State University who studies hurricanes and their history:

  • This year would tie the record set in 2001 for the most Atlantic hurricane formations in November, at three.
  • If it were to make landfall in Florida at hurricane strength, Nicole would be the second-latest hurricane ever to hit the continental United States, after only Hurricane Kate, which made landfall in 1985 along the Florida Panhandle as a Category 2 hurricane.
  • It would be the latest recorded landfall ever for a hurricane on the east coast of Florida.
Even if the storm doesn’t make it to hurricane strength, Dr. Klotzbach said that if Nicole sticks to forecasts, it “would still be the strongest tropical storm to make landfall along the Florida east coast this late in the calendar year on record.”

Forecasters issued a hurricane watch on Monday for parts of the east coast of Florida. John Cangialosi, a senior hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center, said in an interview that forecasters expected a small core of hurricane-force winds to develop near the center of Nicole and an expansive tropical storm-force wind field to stretch along the Florida and Georgia coasts.
