I was worried about her, so I called. she said the park was busy and they were closing at 7pm they did cancel spectro and wishes for tonight, but all the CM's are relaxed about Jeanne. A fellow Diser (palmtreegirl) she wanted me to tell you that the parks are still open and they are still letting people check into the hotels! It's a little windy, but the suns out and the babershop quartet on main street is singing "let's go fly a kite"!!!!
I will keep updating this post as I hear more from her "live from WDW"
9/25 4:50 Eastern time: Ok, I've heard that the parks will be closed tomorrow from other posts on the board, but haven't confirmed that with my sister, when I know more, I will fill you in!
6:28: She just called me from outside the hauted mansion (DS "I don't like that ride") it's been raining on and off for a while but the sun keeps poping in and out. the park is "dead" She hasn't heard anything concrete as far as park closings for tomorrow, but has heard rumours. SeaWorld and Universal are both closed tomorrow so my guess is WDW will be too. Everything closes at 7pm not fireworks tonight. She is going to check in later back at the room from AKL. More updates to come!
10:00: "There is a band in the lobby and everyone is dancing" She sounds like she's haveing a great time!! There are still kids in the pool and she was on her balcony eating pizza!! AKL is gonna keep everything going as long as possible (pool, food, band ect.)
11:00: It started to rain, but not a lot of wind yet, still on the balcony eating a Zibbra mound! Kids are watching finding nemo!
11:00 am: The Mara was closed this am but both restaurants are open and serving all meals or you can get a bag meal in the lobby. "the rain is sideways and the palm trees are holding on for dear life!" The CM's are doing a great job, and the kids are still watching Disney movies. She said you can bearly hear anything inside her room, you don't really know theres a hurricane outside unless you look for it. The band is still playing in the lobby and they have arts and crafts set up for the kids! some sad news though.... Local TV down there is showing Vero Beach and the roads are rivers. the storm surge was terrible and everything is flooded. Pray for those poor people!
8:49pm: I'm on the phone with her now and she said it is still windy with strong gusts but the rain is finally stopping! The Mara opened at 5 and Boma and Jiko were open all day. "the cm's have been working their *beep* off! they have been incredible!" The lobby was hopping the whole time with activities for the kids and adults! Pooh and Chip and Dale have been there for hours!! They are still holding the educational classes in the lobby to record attendance, including Pooh and Chip and Dale!! My sister also said that they are beginning to clean up already! "These people are animals! It's still pretty windy!" She said as you walk down the hallways, you can't pass a cm without them asking if you are ok and if you're having a good time. She said she's never seen anything like it! She said she also heard some cm's singing bob marley's "don't worry about a thing" during lunch to keep the atmosphere lite and fun!
Govenor Jeb Bush stated during a news conference that he is worried about the hit on tourism, and is encouraging people not to cancel their vacation plans! They need the tourism dollars to help their economy!!
I have read some posts today of people canceling trips, to them I say: anyone who is thinking of canceling out of respect for the people of florida, you are actually only hurting them by not going! they need your tourism dollars to survive. Go! WDW is fine! have fun and don't forget to hug mickey!!
Midnight: well they are calling it a night! The wind has died down and the rain has stopped!!! she said she heard on TV that MCO is not accepting flights until 10am. the parks are open tomorrow and clean up at the AKL has been going on since the last update and will continue through the night as well as clean up at the parks! Just goes to show you, NOTHING can stop Disney world from making magic!!!
