We were supposed to arrive this afternoon but I cancelled everything last night. I had nonrefundable room reservations for the Dolphin Resort that I got through priceline. I did purchase trip insurance just in case and I filed a claim this morning. Their contract states that natural disasters qualify, but I'm concerned that Orlando is only under a watch instead of a hurricane warning and they will deny my claim. Has anybody had any experience with this kind of situation. I would hate to be out $1,100 on a technicality. Any thoughts or advice?You can sill see Charley damage when riding the monorail. Andrew although South was large enought to distrup operations in WDW.

Yes, 5 pm advisory changed it from Tropical storm warning to Hurricane Warning. Means conditions are favorable in the next 48 hours for hurricane force winds.Phones going off with Hurricane Warning alerts
Wish they would let their workers stay home both days given the other locations are closing both...WDW has publicly announced park closures for Wednesday and Thursday. Disney Springs closed Wednesday, expected to be Thursday as well, but they will make that call at a later time.

There are still guests in resorts, many cm working resorts won’t get to go home.Wish they would let their workers stay home both days given the other locations are closing both...
Seems more essential (and safe assuming they can also stay there) to house guests and feed them than open extra shops with folks who would have to leave their homes..?There are still guests in resorts, many cm working resorts won’t get to go home.
Were you supposed to be there on a mixture of personal and business time?We were supposed to fly tomorrow from ATL and we're obviously not going. Our rooms are via a conference, so I cannot modify online and the last time I called about something, not even the Group Reservations could do anything with it, it had to be done via the specific Disney Travel Planner. Because of the specific nature of the trip (conference), we won't be able to modify to a later time, but I would like to modify the dates slightly (take out this week, add a bit of next week). I think I'll need to be on the phone with Disney and the conference organizer tomorrow. I was always very jealous of people with their conference rates, but I never realized how difficult it is to make a modification.
Yeah, my husband was supposed to spend Saturday at the Conference, but we are fully paying for all transportation, food and hotel costs because we were staying beyond just Saturday as a family trip, so it was a mix of business and leisure.Were you supposed to be there on a mixture of personal and business time?
Seems like that could get hairy trying to adjust the dates when you're not technically on company time
