I just currently watched Donald Duck dancing as he played guitar hero in the arcade

I'm sorry for this possibly stupid question -- how are all the waterways in Disney looking? (water around BC/YC, Seven Seas and Bay Lake)?

Hmm I must have slept through the worst of it because when I fell asleep around midnight it still just seemed like a really bad storm outside.

AKL is up and open for business. The Mara walkway is closed but you can take the cast member way to get there which is pretty cool. Goofy in the lobby right now.

Glad that there's not too much damage to the parks. I'm praying Pandora is okay!

Is that a boxer? Omg! My parents loved boxers.

It is. Sadly she is no longer with us. But Boxers are my favorite breed of dogs.

It sounded rough at the Yacht Club until about 4am but apart from bits of tree in the pool and a few broken branches we can't see much other damage.

BCV - We are unable to leave the building until 6 pm tonight. Can't see much from our room, many branches down and much standing water. We stocked up on food and water the last couple of days. Didn't lose power but AC is not working. Still very windy but no rain.

Yesterday at the main building they had plenty of things todo and many character interactions.

We will sit tight and binge watch TV on the Firestick.

POFQ lobby is closed with possible water issues.

The water doesn't reach the lobby. It's a big puddle about 5 feet from doors

Wonder if I'm safe to proceed with starting my trip the 17th.

Are you driving or flying?

Are you driving or flying?

Oh we're flying. I'm from Wyoming. No road trip for me!

Thanks for the updates- any word on Fort Wilderness Campground?

All Star Movies has branches down here and there and lots of little plant debris. Disney is still asking that everyone stay in their room. No services open. We have power and AC. Disney did a great job yesterday: pool open and folks swimming in the rain. Limited food, but open till 7:30 pm at the dining hall. Characters and movies scattered about the public areas. Glad we came.

Port Orleans French Quarter this morning. I wanted to check on our rental car and this is the aftermath of the grounds around the resort. Call me crazy but I want to help them clean up the place.

Rumor is MK and Epcot will open as scheduled tomorrow however DHS and AK might open late to make sure everything is ready and good to go.

*I'm quoting my post from another thread*

We went to bed about 1am and slept fine through the winds. I got up a few times throughout the night to go to the bathroom but not because the noise woke me up. Power stayed on.

All-Star Sports Touchdown Building #10 room faces towards road

This is all I can see at this time as still staying in room at this time:

Our trip is from Colorado - flying in on sept 18th, staying at AKL. After reading this thread, we figure as long as we can fly in - we are going!
We are keeping a close watch on Jose - who is now going in a circle.

I don't think you sound crazy at all! I don't know if I could stop myself from picking up some of those branches!

We're also due to fly in on the 17th. Hoping for the best!
