I just received a text from Deni sent to all auction bidders asking if she will be seeing us at the con. So as of right now, it appears that things are still going forward.Has anyone tried reaching out to anyone at GKTW (Steven? Omar? Deni?) to see if there are any updates?
wow. that's all I can say. wow. I'm so surprised we haven't heard anything official and equally surprised this is still happening.I just received a text from Deni sent to all auction bidders asking if she will be seeing us at the con.

It’s an incredibly weird situationwow. that's all I can say. wow. I'm so surprised we haven't heard anything official and equally surprised this is still happening.
I agree - the silence is not a good thing by any means. Most of us aren't FL residents and this is a big deal just getting there. I wouldn't be upset over not getting a refund for the convention but there's the hotel and the MNSSHP ticket I purchased for 9/30. Although I think Disney will help me with the latter. Who knows at this point. I'm almost to the point of just cancelling and forgetting the whole thing. Not worth the stress. I totally agree with you - JUST LET US KNOW SOMETHING.It’s an incredibly weird situation
Like even if it’s still happening, they should send out SOME kind of word.
If it’s CANCELLED/POSTPONED, even if they don’t have a new date yet, LET US KNOW.
I have a VIP ticket and they haven’t sent out ANY info about the VIP stuff, which they did a few WEEKS before the event last year

Just curious….is there anyone in this thread that is local? Like, right by Disney local? We’re wondering what the situation is with the grocery stores currently. Still weighing whether to try to come down tomorrow or not and driving is not an option. We would be getting a rental at the airport. Thanks in advance!
that sounds comfortable !! nice. It's like that here in NC too .. low humidity and a high of 77 today. Like heaven.The odd thing is that Ian is is starting to suck up the moisture in the air. The humidity is way down to 65% on the south of Tampa Bay.
I'm local. However, we did our shopping a few days ago and I haven't been to to Publix since so I really can't answer about supplies.Just curious….is there anyone in this thread that is local?

Thank you! It looks like I’m heading down tomorrow. Carl and Ellie may truly be in for the adventure of their lives on this trip!I'm local. However, we did our shopping a few days ago and I haven't been to to Publix since so I really can't answer about supplies.
Our local FB page does have people reporting that certain things are out of stock. Mostly water & milk basics. However, supply lines are still in operation so restock happens regularly.
Hey there. I saw on the details thread you asked whether we ended up with traveling down. I'm sad to say that we chose not to come due to the many hurricane logistical impacts. I would be stuck in a hotel that is very not Disney, and the new track has Orlando in the dirty side of the storm. If it slows down, I'm really going to be stuck in a hotel that might not be as safe/provisioned as I would like. I believe airports will be slammed, and I wouldn't be able to fly in after the storm and still make the events. As a New Orleans native, I am concerned (not freaked out) about being there without the usual resources I would have to get ready for a storm if I were a local. If I were staying on Disney property, it would be a different scenario. I saw how they handled Matthew, and even though this track is more direct to Orlando than Matthew was, I think I would feel differently about coming if I knew I could shelter in place on Disney property.Thank you! It looks like I’m heading down tomorrow. Carl and Ellie may truly be in for the adventure of their lives on this trip!
Yup, yup….same plan we haveI moved my flight to Tuesday and am going to hope for the best. I plan on enjoying myself even if that means lounging in my room and catching up on Netflix/Disney plus.
Sad that you will not be there, but glad you finally got the answers needed to make your decision. We ended up at the Swan. Disney-adjacent, and hoping for the best.

Anyways, long post to say I'm really going to miss y'all. I know "Lobby Con" is going to be awesome, and the weather after a hurricane is always glorious. That nice high pressure ridge that moves in afterwards is just beautiful. Y'all have a safe and really fun time for me! I will be updating the Unofficial Events page shortly.
