Too bad they don’t name storms after men because then maybe Kristoff could work it out.

@vcka What are they saying locally? Looks like the storm will weaken as it gets closer to Orlando.

I was just reading about this.
“Elsa”, how appropriate! I suggest that all hurricanes heading towards WDW are named after a Disney character.
On a more serious/selfish note, omg, I really REALLY hope I don’t have to cancel my trip next week (again).
That just looks like your normal every day Florida forecast.

Maybe. But he is a bit of a fixer-upper so I wouldn’t bank on it

Insert incredibly naughty language here
Looks like my flight on Monday should make it in before the winds hit late Monday/early Tuesday.
Is it wrong to hope we get another Dorian and everyone bails and we get some nice low crowds?

The main problem with Dorian was he screwed with the airlines. They were on and off with their flights so much some folks just canceled or postponed their trips.
Hopefully Elsa stays on track better.
Don’t most hurricanes arrive later than earlier expected?

And it. Was. Glorious.
Except when it killed the night-hours. Then it sucked. But having a relatively empty park, without Covid, was amazing.

It really depends on the track the storm takes so no definitive answers. If it hits land/DR it will slow down, break up. It also needs to SLOW down to really build; it’s mph is still a bit high to sit and soak up warm water and develop further. So again, basically the weather next week all comes down to Elsa’s exact track. That’s what they are giving us now.

Here’s a new article that’s fitting with the current forecast.
“Can I get a refund if I can’t go to Disney because of bad weather?”
“What happens if a hurricane happens when I’m already at WDW?”

Boy, I hope it misses Puerto Rico. They’ve barely caught a break. I’m not happy to see Haiti right in the line of fire.

I agree w/ you! If it continues to move at the current speed it probably won’t become more powerful. A cat-1 is better to deal w/ than higher, of course being down graded to a tropical storm would better too.

Not only were the parks awesome, toll road was free with the only traffic being utility and semi trucks.
