First, Orlando got lucky that Matthew decided to get caught up and not wobble west. This is not to say there are not some issues on the roads, at homes and businesses. One reason you won't see much damage at Disney is their top level of maintenance. Most folks are not trimming trees on a daily basis. There is a reason folks evacuate to Disney, including Orlando residents, the safety there if often better than their home. So what guests are seeing out their window ........ is not a real snapshot of the real world.
I think one reason for this is the lack of communication within the ranks. When CMs have to find out because another CM heard a manager who's friend works in communication ...... it's a game of telephone and a joke. THEY made a decision to do this very early yesterday potentially on Wednesday as many had already shared it with the exact message they got about closing time and Friday - but told on Wednesday. There was no official word until the afternoon. And many CMs will stick to the script, they will only tell you what they are told to tell you - so if it wasn't officially given to them, they wouldn't share it with you. SO it is HIGHLY possible that guests got a wide range of updates, answers etc. No one should assume just because someone told them, that everyone would have been told that same information .............. I mean call the Disney phone center............
I agree. And unless that curfew gets lifted tonight so that all those scheduled to work Saturday are ready to go ......... or Disney has made a deal with the law enforcement that a CM badge lets them through ......... they will need extra time to get ready to open.
At home, snow and ice emergencies can change, decrease in level, etc pretty quickly (and often). Here - and I'll admit, I am just assuming you live here or have - is it the same? Might they (meaning law endorcement/government) at 2pm say, essentially, "never mind!" ?
