Thanks, me too. If not, just gotta roll with it. If not, another day in paradise. Actually, cannot wait to see Orlando in my rear view mirror. LolKeisha, unless the airport cannot open tomorrow, the day should be clear and sunny. I hope your evening flight goes as planned.
See above, ck to see if flight is cancelled up toam thinking to check in 3 hours out to be on the safe side
We’ll certainly make the most of the extra time once this storm passes, but we do feel incredibly grateful it was easy to change and of course the hotel have been wonderful.
Hope things are good where you are Robbie.
Had a lovely evening in Strong Water last night. We were spoiled with a special menu Chef Carlos had created for us…..a belated 30th Anniversary meal.
Yes, we just kept on laughing. He is the sweetest little fella. Life is to short. We look for the joy that each day brings. I would happily go fart blasting through Target with my little buddy anytime.That is tooooooo funny. Really...people raised an eyebrow. I always comment really loud " how sad and lonely some people must be are if they have to constantly look down on others" I would rather see people out with their happy kids rather than them yelling at them because they are being horrible crotch goblins with no manners or respect for others.
Looks like a yummy breakfast with lots of options.Yes, usually ravenous with one lol. Was delicious
So incredibly kind of the resorts to make sure characters are out for the littles to enjoy.Lots of characters and things to do for kids in both hotels’ ballrooms.
Wow that water is high.Wow, outside path to RPR is underwater, the whole stretch I can see from where it starts to curve and as far as I can see. Looks up to about up to half of the fence.
Pictures are very telling of the damage that the wind and flooding can cause.Major Blvd. flooding including some vehicles.

Open house in my room….
come on over and we will watch the trees and bushes sway… lol
It is crazy. I am trying to picture all the areas from our last trip...and it's mind blowing seeing these areas under water or with so much heavy debris. I am glad your sitting in the lobby where your being taken care of, and that your not somewhere without power, flooding or damage.Sitting in the lobby as room needs its service. No issue with that. Watched news, I4 and turnpike have flooded parts, turnpike is closed, and parts of I4 are closed. Hope all is cleared by Friday morning. Think that will also be when airport may reopen, when all can get there.
I seen that tooWe saw images of JP this morning, huge chunk out of the side!
It's great to be in that bubble right now I'm sureMost here are quite cozy in our tourist bubble. Many thanks to our hosts! Nice to be dry & safe with backup generators if needed to keep things humming Many locals here are without power and those on west coast in absolutely dire straits
WDW hasn’t lifted the hotel guest lockdown in place. Im absolutely Good with it. Think In addition to removal of debris from parks, many employees who live out near Sanford & beyond May still have issues with transportation. Need to play it by ear.
I'm afraid we (dh & I) would be the ones to initiate behavior like that We want to have fun and create memories. I couldn't live my life as a Debbie Downer.Yes, we just kept on laughing.

It's good to hear that your family is safe.I heard from my older sister this morning. They still have electricity, but are getting some high winds this morning about 70 mph as the hurricane moves on. She said the winds this morning are worse then the wind last night.
Carole - Loews has no mandatory lock down? Off as they did during Matthew. we had opposite experience last night . I took a video of the sound the wind started to make at 9 pm. It was quite unsettling. Only got worse. Difficult to sleep thru that sort of thing
Wild & wooly night here. On top floor, easily could hear many thumps until 6 am. Haven’t seen any trees down on our Savannah here. A few new ponds from all the rain as ground already saturated, will take time for the storm to be absorbed here
Swan & dolphin had flooding majority outside entry ways
Most highways have submerged areas, esp on on ramps. Much debris about as observed from news reports.

Authorities are urging all to not go out today to keep streets clear for emergencies & those who need to repair downed electric lines, lights & clear the roads to get back to normalcy
Ironic how so many puerto ricans left their island (where 45% still haven’t their power restored from their last big Hurricane event) for Orlando. At least here things are generally put right in a much more timely basis
SWA doesn’t seem to have any flights departing from MCO tomorrow before 3:30 pm at this point. Yesterday evening they did have AM ones still on schedule. Will keep a very close eye on mine & reschedule to Saturday if cancelled

Good Morning everyone.

We are doing good here Carole. Thank you for asking, it is so kind of you.
I have great respect and admiration for all the staff at the resorts they always go above and beyond. They are truly special. I’am so glad to hear they were able to get your new arrangements sorted.
What a very special meal to have prepared for you and Tom. It sounded amazing. Such a nice special anniversary meal.
Yes, we just kept on laughing. He is the sweetest little fella. Life is to short. We look for the joy that each day brings. I would happily go fart blasting through Target with my little buddy anytime.
I used to care what people thought many moons ago. Age and life experience helped me let go of that.
Hope you and your family are well.

It is so good to hear you are all safe and well cared for, but we knew the Resorts would rise to the occasion. They always do. They are awesome.
I heard from my older sister this morning. They still have electricity, but are getting some high winds this morning about 70 mph as the hurricane moves on. She said the winds this morning are worse then the wind last night.
I have seen some of the devastation in the areas along the coast. In Ft. Myer’s there was a video of a shark swimming down the street.
Looks like there is quiet a bit of flooding around some the roads in Orlando.
My heart and prayers go out to those who have lost family and their homes.
I hope all of you who have had to extend your trips are able to get all your flights sorted to get back home soon.
Have a blessed Thursday everyone.
There are worse places to be stuck during a Hurricane. Have been toasting my toes in lobby since noon.

DH & I agree. Atmosphere is same as a nonstop
cruise ship deck party lol. Going to
Have a Halloween costume parade later complete with trick or treating. Smart to keep the kiddos occupied, otherwise they’d turn on us like in lord of the flies
I have seen a lot of dogs in RP lobby
Assume locals are staying at the hotel
Sorry Janet, I just meant we were meeting them at Islands for lunch.
Duh missed that, just as well, it’s rather nippy out there todayIslands is open for a special buffet lunch, it was very good actually and we ate with Matt and Rob again. We are full to bursting now!!!
Duh missed that, just as well, it’s rather nippy out there today
Also missed Robbie’s sharks??? Gotta read back lol
Lynne I only saw one tree downed on Savannah. Pool area here needs cleaned up, pool itself looks clear.

They didn’t put the pool furniture in pool as they did for Matthew @ RP
Seaworld announced closure tomorrow
Packed up after dinner at boma. At this point could care less about park time,
