WDW activates its Hurricane plan. At the current stage of readiness we are now in, all backstage loss debries will be removed today. The major decision to eather not open the parks on Friday, OR to close early (2pm-3pmish) will be made today or tonight. Disney sets up teams of Cast Members at the begining of the season, and these teams are being put on alert. They may be called in tonight (if we do not open on Friday) or after park close tomorrow (2pm-3pmish) to start securing items in the parks. (1000's of trash cans and park bench's and tables and chairs...ect...ect....
There is definitly a buzz of activitie today in the parks as we prepare. Our Hurricane Plan is very detailed and complete, and is being followed. This is makeing things run very smothly and today anyway, its buisness as usual, and all of the guests have no idea the amount of work going on backstage, and in conference rooms all across property.
THE ONLY THING THAT HAS BEEN OFFICALLY CLOSED OR CANCLED is the following...
Magic Kingdom E-Ride ticket sales HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED for Friday the 13th.
HOWEVER, the event itself has not been canlced yet. Pending, for now...
Look for a possible closure of the Fort Wilderness Resort to come soon, as the campground was closed a few years back for a minor Tropical Storm, and Charlie will be a STRONG CAT 2 Hurricane when it hits the west coast.
Thats all I have for now.
I will update as I here more.
PS not that this is important, but a major Hurricane may DELAY some of the current Projects and Rehabs. How secure could all that metal around Mount Everest be? and think about all the loss items that lie around construction sites.
