But, all though, obviously not being able to come to Port in FL, what arrangements has Disney done for those who missed flights etc, and those who obviously missed their 9-4 sailing?

The revised schedule, with both ships departing on Labor Day, was announced a few days ago. It remains to be seen if the ships really can use the port on Monday, considering that Hurricane Frances has moved so slowly the past couple of days. Also, until Orlando Airport is reopened, it will be difficult for most
DCL passengers to get to the port.
Here's what it said a few minutes ago:

Important Information
Sunday, September 5, 2004 12:25:18 PM
Due to the impact of Hurricane Frances, we have made the following modifications to our itineraries for upcoming sailings:
Disney Magic
The August 28, 7-night Western Caribbean sailing will be extended by two nights, arriving in Port Canaveral on Monday, September 6 at 11 am.
The 7-night Eastern Caribbean sailing, scheduled for September 4, will be shortened two nights, departing on Monday, September 6 at 6 pm from Port Canaveral and arriving back as scheduled on Saturday, September 11. To avoid the effects of Hurricane Frances, we will be sailing a modified Western Caribbean itinerary.
Disney Wonder
The September 2, 3-night Bahamas sailing will be extended one night, returning to Port Canaveral on Monday, September 6 at 6 am. Since it is unlikely that our scheduled calls to
Castaway Cay and Nassau will be possible, they will be replaced with a Saturday, September 4 call to Cozumel, Mexico.
The 4-night Bahamas sailing scheduled for September 5 will be delayed and shortened one night, departing on Monday, September 6 at 6 pm from Port Canaveral, arriving back as scheduled on Thursday, September 9. Since it is unlikely that our scheduled calls to Castaway Cay and Nassau will be possible, guests will enjoy two days at sea, a safe distance from the effects of Hurricane Frances.
Guests sailing on these modified itineraries have been contacted or are in the process of being contacted by our reservations staff. Fares for the shortened cruises will be discounted, and guests will be offered special incentives for sailing.
We appreciate all of our guests patience as we respond to the unavoidable circumstances created by Hurricane Frances.</blockquote>
