FYI: Port Canaveral closed

[TheTXTaylors5]

Did you know that Port Canaveral has been closed since Tuesday due to Tropical Storm Fay? The Wonder is scheduled to return on Thursday. But, they are still unaware of where she will dock (at PC or elsewhere).

Some news sites on the issue:

Due to Tropical Storm Fay DCL is diverting the Disney Wonder to Port Everglades, near Fort Lauderdale, on Thursday, August 21. Guests who are currently onboard will disembark the ship and will be transported back to Central Florida via motorcoaches.

Guests that are sailing on Thursday will be transported to Port Everglades from Orlando International, Port Canaveral, and the WDW resort to board the ship. The Disney Wonder will return to Port Canaveral on Sunday, August 24.

The decision to divert the Disney Wonder to Port Everglades was made to ensure the safety of the guests and the crew.

DCL will be providing guest communication via our Disney Cruise Line Hospitality desks for our resort guests. The resort departure times will be altered and we will advise of the new times as soon as possible. DCL will provide a letter to our guests with the new times. Additionally, DCL will be providing our resort guests with gift cards to purchase food on WDW property. They will be distributed from the Hospitality desks on Thursday morning.

The reason this interests me so much is that we embark the Wonder in 29 days. I'm glad to hear things will be back to normal by then. Now I am re-thinking that travel insurance. Then again, we always said we didn't care where she sailed, as long as we were onboard.

Wish us luck for no more major storms.
