I would anticipate Disney Springs remaining closed today. Many of the staff that work there live locally and are most likely trying to take care of their family and home and not need the pressure of going to work today through flooded streets or debris.
I hope guests will be patient if WDW is short on CMs for a few more days. From debris blocking driveways & local streets to wet floors & repairs needed, child care issues, helping family in harder-hit areas, not everyone is able to leave home for work so easily & so quickly.
We also have no power - about 35 miles SE of Orlando.44% of our county has NO POWER. There are massive #s of power outages, debris & flooding all along Milton's path. Just because things look OK at the resort hotels is in no way reflective of how things really are outside of the theme park areas unfortunately.
The insurance headaches alone
. Companies fighting each other over what damage is flood vs what damage was hurricane. And now what damage was Helene vs Milton. And then your next insurance bill (if you’re not self insured) skyrocketing. As will your flood insurance bill. I used to dream of a retirement in FL and now-no thanks.Sure it good news and means the Runways are clear and the Airport will open today. The rest will be up to the Carriers to restart their schedules.
They have to receive the originating flights for tomorrow and since it is late in today's schedule Airlines are not rushing to add turn-around flights for this evening it's too late. International Flights would need to have already left for MCO as a destination and they could not file a flight plan to a closed Airport.
Did you check with your Airline and do they have any updates on your flight tomorrow night? Do you have a non-stop or a connecting Airport?
Yes, thanks Dave! Piecing it together slowly and it's starting to make sense!
Yes this will be a challenge in both directions. First the Carriers start with tomorrow's schedule of flights which since it is a holiday weekend will already be full or almost full. How do they manage the extra passengers trying to into MCO and also those trying to get out of MCO.
No direct suggestions but with all the food options around Crescent Lake they should be able to find something to eat. Also have them consider the Swan / Dolphin and the Swan Reserve.
We are here at Beach Club. They can walk up to Cape May for the buffet, Beaches and Cream, or the Marketplace. The Boardwalk has some options too. I think the pizza window is even operating.
