My BF and I have a trip planned for my 21st birthday.. flying to orlando 9/8 and flying out 9/12
We are suppose to be staying with family 20 minutes from Disney. But we have a feeling getting to the parks might be a problem.
We have no idea what to do.. rescheduling for us is not an option.
Thanks for the update! Travel dates 9/16-9/21, and I was worried about Invest94L turning into an official storm. I am certainly learning a lot about Hurricanes. Never heard of the Fujiwhara Effect before!!
So, I know everyone is saying hang on and wait to see what happens the next few days. However we are using our DVC points, and there still some availability, so I made the I made an executive decision to be pragmatic and move it to Wednesday the 13th to Wednesday the 20th. Southwest already had it available for me to change our flights. When I was talking to DVC, she told me it they were expecting long hold times for members.
I know that it could turn, that it may not effect Orlando or briefly but I am not going to push it and hopefully Jose will stay away!
Not debating that at all. Not a word of it. But all that said, right now, does anyone know where it's going? No. The best, most well trained and experienced working on this right now can't tell you where it's goingHurricanes are huge weather systems. From all gathered data the best central Florida can hope for at this point is a wet, sloppy mess and some unkown effect on park schedules -even if Irma turns sharply north and misses the FL coast. The meteorologists now are not just guessing in the dark. They have studied other weather factors and current systems, have live data from within the storm, and consulted lots of historical parallels to inform their insights. The science on this thing is real.
I have no doubt they told you that. Unfortunately, the CM on the phone really do not have a clue. Sad, sad, fact.I don't know whey they told me this. It could be that my husband is active duty air force?? I swear the lady this morning told me this info.
I can absolutely see changing dates or cancelling if half your trip will be on Sunday-Monday, but otherwise, it SEEMS as if things should be relatively okay at least in Orlando.
I totally get this. My family of four has had a rough year with surgery, sickness - my husband just suffered 2nd degree burns two weeks ago. I really desperately need to go experience the magic with my kids.I have been waiting for my trip (September 9th-14th) since February. I suffer from severe depression and this is the one thing that has kept me going these past few months. I really hope something changes and I can still go....
We are set to fly out tomorrow afternoon and fly home Sunday at 5:00. This is an anniversary trip just for the two of us. Our anniversary is on Friday. I have been following this thread since it started but DH doesn't want to hear about it. He just wants to go with the flow. I have a bunch of things booked that we have never done before like a wine tasting for food and wine, a massage at GF, keys to the kingdom tour , the dessert party and the DVC AK event. What are current projections for what day storm could hit Orlando. Trying to decide to either switch flights or make a hotel reservation for Sunday and maybe Monday night?

That's awesome. we decided were going also. 7-17thMy hubby just called me and said don't cancel. So I guess we are going all in now. I talked to my friend in Orlando and they were like just come, oh good grief lets just hope for the best now.
If they cancell MNSSHP you will get to either reschedule your party or get a refund. We were there last year during hurricane Matthew and that's what they did because we had a party the night the hurricane hit.I am curious as to what you find out as we have that same MNSSHP scheduled as well.
