I doubt you will be able to drive in unless you want to drive through a hurricane. The size of the storm covers the state in Monday into tues.This something I'd like to get other peoples thoughts on also. We were supposed to fly in on Monday from St. Louis, but I don't see this happening. The next plan was to drive down Monday (this would also allow me to bring a few needed things for family in the area) but I was wondering what to expect on the roads?
I just got off the phone with Disney Reservation Center. Only waited about 10 minutes to talk to a CM. She was kind, positive attitude, and willing to help. She was able to move our dates from 9/10-9/14 to 9/12-9/16. Same room rate at AKL, and we were able to keep our Free Dining! She transferred me to Dining, and they moved all our reservations around with no problem. Also rescheduled our Starlight Safari with another lovely CM at AKL who had actually left me a voicemail with her direct number. Done with everything in just 45 minutes. (Although the CM said the Guest Relations line had a 5+ hour hold time.) They also assured me that if things weren't back to normal by 9/12 that I could call back to cancel/reschedule again. We are lucky to have flexibility with our dates and that we are driving from Atlanta, so don't have to deal with flights. I just couldn't believe it....I was expecting the worst and ended up with a really good outcome. So very thankful. Especially since this is a birthday surprise for my husband and our first kid-free vacation in years!
Can you reschedule or is it just (sniff ) over?
As of right now no one knows, but a good way to check is google or apple maps, they keep up to date on all road/highway issues.This something I'd like to get other peoples thoughts on also.

It was a trip on our DVC points. There is zero availability to reschedule it this year. We were planning to use SSR as our home base while we visited Discovery Cove and Aquatica/Sea World. That isn't possible in the winter months. The points expire in July. We are small business owners and it takes an act of Congress for us to arrange coverage to get away. I can't even think straight right now.
Okay, first post ever. We are scheduled to arrive at Fort Wilderness on Sunday, 9/10 and stay through Saturday 9/16. Clearly that is not going to happen now. My travel agent has assured me we can easily reschedule for 9/12-9/18 or 9/13-9/19. My problem is this: We are driving down from Nashville. What can I expect road and traffic conditions to be like on Monday or Tuesday? No Disney vacation starts off well if a 10 hour trip takes 20.

True, but it is going to hit Florida, no "might" about it. Irma is 3 times the width of Florida.Maybe. These models continually evolve and again are projections of what might (but not necessarily will) happen.
I do not care for the latest model one bit. I'd been pretty adamant that we would be able to stay in our house with no problem, now we're considering leaving and heading to Disney. I'd wanted to stay with the house, but as my husband pointed out, me staying with it won't make a difference if the roof goes flying off.
