Maci: I would assume that they are only opening MK and Epcot because they are expecting limited staffing. As with Charley, many CM's are unable to get to work and/or need to stay home to take care of the damages that they sustained. I don't think that the other parks got anymore than MK and Epcot as far as damages (although I could be wrong)... I think it is just to make sure that there is enough staffing. With Charley they kept AK closed and deployed the CM's from there to help at the other parks.

However, passengers with scheduled flights should contact their airline for the latest flight information. In addition, airline ticket counters will not open until 10:00 a.m.


Additionally please be advised that:

I received a Travel Agent D-Flash with those hours. It stated that there was only minimal horticultural damage and that they did not lose power at any time. It also said guest areas were not affected by the storm.

Thanks so much Lisa. My family in both Tampa and Orlando are safe once again (they were all good after Charlie too) and it looks like we may get out tomorrow.

We shall see.

Peace,
