Best post of the day lolI'm hoping for landfall in North Korea.

This is true and is a risk that goes with using gift cards (which most buy at a discount) to pay for the trip. You trade the discount and take the gamble that you will make the trip.I'd have to look for them. Problem is even if I have them, that means I just have a bunch of money on gift cards and I would have to wait to next year to use them. I don't think I can return them to the store.

No, there are not systems in place that would keep Irma stationary like Harvey. It will move up the coast, as has been shown numerous times. Where is not known but it will move.
Reservations paid with gift cards are refunded to the gift cards it was paid with. So you'll need to have saved them. If you didn't you'll need to speak to someone to work out another arrangement, hopefully. Normally, there isn't another arrangement but this is a unique situation so maybe they'll work something out for you.
Totally normal. It will update eventually.
Not if MCO is closed.
Too early to tell that. It all depends on the fronts and steering currents and whether they stay in place or break down. Hopefully, whereever this hits, it continues to move swiftly. However, no one can make that statement definitively right now. Current projections do not show a stall over Orlando.No, there are not systems in place that would keep Irma stationary like Harvey.

Some of us are speaking from experience with similar storms.
No, I don't believe anyone suggested that. Disney placed everyone in a room during Matthew last year.So if my flight is cancelled, and I have no room, and no transportation to the airport, Disney is going to kick me to the curb? Just trying to understand. Not getting any answers from calling...too long of a wait right now.
To be fair, WDW does not have to worry about storm surge. Obviously, the coasts and outlying barrier islands do, though.Sorry, but I can only guess that with that statement, you have never been through a major hurricane. What do you consider "close?" This is not a small wind event. It is wind/rain/surge/tornadoes, etc. Power could be out for several days depending on the track and damage incurred. I see a lot of people suggesting that people should not worry because the eye may only skirt the coast of Florida. The eye is not the entire storm and paths have error margins. This is no small storm. It is a significant decision for someone to make to bring their families into an area that could be significantly affected.

You had asked if ME would transport you to MCO. I answered that if MCO was closed no, they would not do that.
It's too early to tell a lot of things but for it to stall like Harvey? No, it's not too early to know that it's not going to do that. They knew Harvey was going to stall well before it did. This is why SC is preparing now.Too early to tell that. It all depends on the fronts and steering currents and whether they stay in place or break down.

For anyone who has cancelled their southwest flight what exactly happens to travel funds.
I missed that, but whoever said Disney would not house you was incorrect. Disney housed everyone that asked at least, during Matthew. Maybe there were some that didn't ask and it may not have been in some's budget but they didn't just kick guests out. If your personal budget can't handle additional days then that is something to consider. Disney isn't going to house guests at no cost. But they did work with guests best they could to find a solution.Going off of another answer I received earlier stating I'd be on my own. No harm meant.

To be fair, the boxes were Thursday night. By Friday afternoon/evening Disney Springs was open and so many people went there. Lines for the restaurants open were hours long. We went to Maya Grill at CSR and had a minimal wait.
Unless you can 100% accurately predict the steering currents and fronts 5-7 days from now, it is too early. I have been through hurricanes during my lifetime that were expected to stall and they sped up and been through those that were expected to move through at a decent pace that have either stalled or "looped" back over us. There are no certainties with a hurricane, only educated guesses. Those estimates get better the closer the storm gets to landfall.It's too early to tell a lot of things but for it to stall like Harvey? No, it's not too early to know that it's not going to do that.
