Tropical threat?? Leaving in 9 days...

Makes sense that cast members are apparently being told parks will be closed tomorrow.

(Nothing official, could def. end up not being true)

My friends in Orlando made it through the night relatively well. One didn't lose power or internet and no apparent flooding right around them. The other couple lost internet but not power and minor screen damage to their pool area. Tree damage minimal considering the winds.

Same for my friends near Sea World. Minimal flooding in the yard, no loss of power or internet and a few tree limbs down but no damage.

I won't be surprised but hoping they are able to open back up soon! I am scheduled to be flying in tomorrow, but still 50/50 on if my flight actually happens.

At Contemporary these were the food options today

Chef Mickey's Breakfast $15 Adults $10 Kids all the normal food just no characters. They were also open for buffet dinner but I didn't catch the prices.

Contempo Cafe was open with regular food and some hurricane meals.

Steakhouse 71 was open with a smaller menu mobile pickup only.

Steakhouse 71 and Outer Rim bars open.

Fantasia Market was pretty well stocked with food and alcohol.

That’s where we should have been today! Sounds much better than what was available in 2016/2017. Stay safe and keep us updated!

Here's the schedule for today. Similar dining options available as well.

Our flight supposed to come in at 10PM tomorrow. I guess the question is will Disney be ready for us if the flight actually happens. Don't want to be where we aren't wanted for sure.

Agreed! I am most concerned for all the people in FL that are affected but of course the uncertainty of our trip is also a stressor.....

The risk of flooding that I was most worried about seems to have materialized. The area was already so saturated.

There doesn't seem to be any flooding at WDW.

Appears that the theme parks are opening tomorrow. The openings will be staggered

From what my friends say over by Universal had more impact

Hulk has a good part of it submerged by the launch point (not sure the status of it right now) and Jurassic Park River Adventure is damaged with part of the building on the side exposed with metal support beams (couldn't speculate on that but that one IMO would be more of a repair/time needed to repair situation).

This is the screenshot the friends saw on FB that they shared with us this morning



Keep in mind though that the launch point and parts of Hulk are over water to begin with so not entirely unexpected with the heavy rain and the amount of rain they got

Hey Everyone, we were going to come but decided to move our trip to December. I called Disney about our park tickets and the CM said to cancel them under my disney experience. She said dont panic, i can call back and reserve them for December. We will not "lose the tickets". I worried. Has anyone else been told the same?

Well, that's kind of an odd way of saying it. I don't believe you can "cancel" tickets in MDE. You may be able to change the date - and be aware if your new dates cost more you will be charged the difference. You will also need to make new theme park reservations, those won't shift with your ticket date change.

Are you booking with regular or resort hotel tickets or with an AP?

we just bought tickets directly from Disney. We booked All Stars through hotwire and already got our money back for it.

Are you trying to change the actual ticket dates? Or just the theme park reservation? Above is for the theme park reservations and limits you to the dates your tickets are valid -- which is based on the ticket start date and length of ticket.

If you want to go in December, you will need to actually change the ticket dates. I suspect you will need to call to do this. Sorry you received some poor information from the CM you spoke to earlier.
