Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

Why would anyone even ask TSA about this in advance? It's obviously an innocent item if TSA were to open the luggage and discover what these actually were and likely would allow the passenger to pass through. This sounds like a situation where it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Some people just get stressed about TSA and what is/isn't allowed.

Well, a tropical storm. And it shouldn't be too bad considering that it's already weak as it is.

Update: Nevermind, it's supposed to be a Cat 2 at landfall. Great.

Opening Ceremony is in about 40 mins I know the Disney Parks Blog will be streaming it live

The non-locals don't usually realize that parks get affected not just the Day of the storm, but also the days leading up and afterward. As people drop plans to "prepare", and then deal with the aftermath several days later.

To say it's a "good" thing because it's a press scapegoat if people don't show up, is a little silly. People were going to show up...but now less will.

Few days before the storm was projected Disney already cut their projections by half. Sooooo....

Universal's twitter I find to be cringe tbh

I had plans to go this Monday for the opening...which looks like it probably won't happen now. I'm a pretty recent Floridian and this is the first hurricane I'll experience. How far in advance do the meteorologists tend to know if it will officially change directions or strengthen/weaken when it hits Florida? I have until Saturday afternoon to cancel my Airbnb,

Someone in my office mentioned that they totally misjudged one a couple years ago and everyone left the east coast to go to the west, and it ended up hitting the west instead.

Won’t be till 24-36 hours before landfall.

and even that far out, you get what happened with Irma where we thought we'd be getting hit on the east coast (I'm in Fort Lauderdale) but it destroyed the west coast.

Look at what happened overnight - Dorian was supposed to hit east coast Florida as a weak tropical storm and is now forecasted to hit as a major hurricane. It was also supposed to squeeze between Hispaniola and Puerto Rico but now its passing over the very east coast of PR.

EDIT: living on the coast we also evacuated but we only went inland about 15 miles to the edge of the everglades and stayed at a cat 5 certified hotel. we ended up leaving that same night because the track kept shifting west.

Ok that is shady af:clap:. I guess chapek's lil 10hour wait comment warranted this.

Update 2: Wtf it's a Cat 3 at landfall now?! And it's slamming Orlando?!

 

[rhino4evr]

funny enough was reading a weather post on Facebook, and saw more than a few people say they were heading to Disney this weekend (my guess is for the opening), and now aren't sure what to do.

This really sucks for Disney...although opening a new attraction during prime hurricane season isn't always the best idea either.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Ya SWGE has just not been a good performer at opening for now so many different reasons. Kinda unfortunate tbh. Just imagine if 5-6 years ago "Whenever these were announced" that this is how opening went for both coasts. Just crazy how many things change over time

Update 2: Wtf it's a Cat 3 at landfall now?! And it's slamming Orlando?!

Cat 3 is just a lot of wind and rain. Considering I lived through a Cat 5 with the eyewall passing over my house, Dorian will barely disturb my mid-afternoon nap. :thumbsup:

 

[rhino4evr]

eh...Wilma was a Cat 3 and it left the majority of South Florida without power for 2-3 weeks.
It also caused millions of dollars in damage.
Anything above a Cat 1 should be taken seriously.

Umm yeahh!! Wasn't Irma a 3?? She was terrible!! No power for a week and flooding.

Not to disrupt the hurricane talk, but I just want to point out that my years-long prediction of Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge opening ceremony being star-studded and Hollywood Studios' being... not... was accurate!
