My Aunt, Uncle and Cousin and her family (herself, husband and two children) were at Disney and they were scheduling to leave tonight however, their flight was cancelled and now they have to rent a car but gas stations are out of gas. Hope they can get out of the state at least!
My son just got word that he will be part of the ride-out crew at AK. He reports at 11 PM tomorrow. He's happy that he won't lose two days pay when the parks are closed.
Ride out crews for WDW have been notified and will be ready to go as soon as parks close on Saturday.

National Hurricane Center is predicting Irma will strengthen into a Category 5 hurricane through the Florida Keys.
Only three other Category 5 hurricanes have hit the US: The so-called "Labor Day" hurricane in 1935, Camille in 1969, Andrew in 1992.
It's still a Category 4 right now — but that's still dangerous.
"THIS IS AS REAL AS IT GETS," the National Weather Service in Key West tweeted. "NOWHERE IN THE KEYS WILL BE SAFE."
Thanks andAny chance they could just stay longer at Disney? Wonder if that might be better at this point
Either way I hope stay safe!
