We're in the same boat, due to arrive at MCO about 1pm Friday. Relatives are flying from out east to meet us there and should arrive a couple hours before that.
I am thinking that WDW will really need the tourist income, if it's safe and they're not cancelling ressies like they did last weekend, we're hoping to go. Of course, I'm worried about my daughter's safety and I don't want to put her in harm's way if it looks like the storm is going to be bad there.
So basically, we're in limbo. It's too late for us to cancel without losing our deposits and such now anyway (unless NWA and Disney waive at the last minute like they did for Frances) so we have no reason not to wait till the very last minute to decide. Deposit or no deposit if they say don't come, we'll stay home of course.
Hopefully we'll all be there contributing to the FL economy this time next week.
Good luck everyone, especially those who live in FL, I am wishing and hoping hoping with all my might for no more storms for you all. If cancelling my vacation would protect you guys and make it certain Ivan would pass you by of course I'd do it in a heartbeat!
We just have to wait and see at this point. I was thinking of people with weddings scheduled this and last weekend, how hard that must have been and worrisome it must be!
Frankly, my biggest concern about being in WDW during a storm is water safety. We've had to be on boil water orders before at home and it's no fun, I can't imagine managing that kind of thing on vacation. It doesn't sound like that has been an issue on property during the previous storms.
Does anyone know if Disney has its own water treatment plant like they have a lot of their own electrical? My husband was wondering about that.
