Although it would be rather fun to watch it from TOT or Jungle Cruise I would probably go for the Mexico Pavilion at Epcot. Good Food especially the Nachos), decent ride, good merch, lovely theming and most importantly amazing cocktails. I couldn't select a Disney resort because I have never stayed in one.
On a serious note hope everyone of my fellow members, their family and loved ones in the Mathew hit zones stay safe and sound, from a grey and dismal Manchester. x

Mexico could be cool. I think I'd like more windows to storm-watch, but--then again--my original choice of the Land wouldn't be very window-y, either... Then, if you're being really practical, no windows is probably the way to go...
Off topic warning...
@Beacon Joe: no disrespect to "Beacon Joe", but at first I thought it was "Bacon Joe" and I was like "Best. Name. Ever."

Yeah... good luck getting any sympathy from your friends/family after that.
You: "there was a hurricane while I was at WDW, and I was stuck in the Cinderella Suite for two days!"
F/F: "oh, you poor baby"
You: "Well, it was... rainy... outside... and stuff... and room service took so long to bring my food... and to break the boredom, I had to take extra baths in the golden tub with a starfield above it..."
F/F: "..."
That's terrible to even suggest. I think you would have to use your phone to look up ways to MacGyver some noise-cancelling headphones from Small World parts.

Giraffe? It's the height of fine dining, says Hugh
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Adventurous: River Cottage chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
When most people look at a giraffe they marvel at its extraordinary height and beauty.
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall on the other hand pictures a mouth-watering steak.
The TV cook found himself in hot water with conservationists yesterday after he admitted being partial to giraffe meat.
The 40-year-old, known for cooking squirrel, even goes as far as recommending the meat and said he would not rule out eating it again.
His comments came with stories of chomping on crocodile and bat, but animal campaigners blasted the River Cottage star as being 'totally irresponsible'.
The chef confessed in an interview that he would eat most animals but drew the line at endangered species like gorilla or polar bear.
He added: 'But I would not rule out, say, giraffe. They do eat it in certain parts of Africa, if it's killed responsibly.
'I've tasted giraffe and crocodile and I can highly recommend them.
'They were served up to me by local conservationists so I knew the animals were well-managed.
'In 1994 I went diving in the Seychelles and was keen to try out the local delicacy, curried fruit bat, but I couldn't find any.
'I returned later and it was well worth the trip, very tasty. They have been eating bat for centuries in the Seychelles, no one gets singled out for ridicule over there if they are seen eating a bat - they are all at it.'
On the menu: Giraffe is fair game for TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
Fearnley-Whittingstall's reputation for eating unusual things was forged on TV, where he has dined on roadkill, earning the nickname Hugh Fearlessly-Eatsitall.
While giraffes are not endangered, animal welfare group Viva! criticised the chef.
Campaign manager Justin Kerswell said: 'I have never heard of anyone eating a giraffe in Africa.
'I think it's totally irresponsible that he said it, it is beyond the pale - we are talking about an animal that a lot of people love and see in the wild in Africa.
'Plenty of his fans hang on his words and you will get people now who will want to go out there and try it.
'The last thing wildlife needs is Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall encouraging diners without principles to treat the rest of the world as a larder.
'Wild animals belong in the wild, not on people's dinner plates.'
I've got to say... I'm not ready to eat giraffe. In a survival situation, though... all bets are off.Giraffe? It's the height of fine dining, says Hugh

I've waited out a few storms on the upper deck of the Main Street train station. As long as I have a couple of box lunches and some water I'm all set. Course, the lack of bathroom facilities would be a problem . . .

My choice would be a 3-bedroom grand villa at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. I had the opportunity to spend the night in one of those rooms this summer and it was awesome!!
Honorable mention would go to Toy Story Midway Mania, as long as the power was still on. Maybe I could finally get a "Best of..." score!!

Land Pavilion. Huge, extremely sturdy building, with two rides, a giant food court, a TSR, even a movie theater. And a giant greenhouse full of food if it turns into an extra long haul.
Don't forget the fish.....hundreds of Talapia...

I would stay at the swan dolphin with a room of a above tree level so I can have a good view of the storm
But would it be worse to be stuck in there with the power off
Which means no song over and over and over again.

Anyone who brags about eating squirrel or bats has a few in his belfry.....

Honestly, even trapped in a class 3 hurricane at WDW is better than a day at work. If I had to choose one spot I'd pick the Tiki Room as long as aloha isle is open. If DL's flame tree BBQ was there it would be perfect!
Make that never ending Flame Tree and Dole Whips and I'm with you. *thumbs up*
