It actually breaks my heart to think of these poor CM's having to stay happy and try and make everything okay for the guests. They have to be filled w/ worry and heavy hearts right now. I'm hoping for all of Florida that this is it!!!

Thanks for the updates - MY heart goes out to all those so hard hit by the hurricanes this year - but esp. to all those who must work & put themselves & their worries aside to care for others. Kudos to them.

We survived. Hubby came home late last night and the airport was up and ready to be open today at noon. Lost power on and off, so we basically did essentials. Los phone service and had no cell until late this afternoon.

Have water damage and now it is a matter of getting everything cleaned up, dried, etc. School closed for another day (lost two days) and added on to the 10 previously - that is 12 days we have to make up. How many more days can we give up? Kids are antsy. I never thought I would hear the words, "I can't wait to go back to school, its boring here and there is nothing to do."

Hopefully, when we go back to school my son will have a whole bunch of postcards waiting for him and that will cheer him up. For those of you who have not read any of the threads, they are doing a postcard exchange and getting cards from all over. They had started coming in last week and they were really excited about it. We will see how many more come in.

Take care and know that we are okay. The parks suffered minor damage with Epcot's Living Seas suffering the most severe and was going to be closed today.

Secondly, let me add that the airport authorities did set up an emergency shelter for the workers and their families. There were many employees who stayed behind and the restaurants did remain open to serve them, their families and stranded families.

I opted to stay home with my kids, with the conditions that if anything really bad happened I would respond to the shelter once it was safe to do so.
