Due to the approach of Hurricane Matthew, Orlando, including WDW, has been placed under a hurricane warning, which means hurricane force winds are considered probable within 36 hours. Matthew has slowed slightly so it looks like the main impact for WDW will come on Friday and all indications are that landfall will occur around Melbourne and WDW will experience at least Cat 1 level winds along with torrential rainfall.

Guests at Ft Wilderness will be moved to other resorts. If you need to cancel, your cancellation fee will be waived. If you're arriving tomorrow (Thursday), no worries. WDW will take good care of you during the storm. There's no safer place to be during a hurricane. They will also do a good job of getting the park back to operation quickly. They're experts at this and want to keep disruption to a minimum but safety is the number 1 concern.

Keep a check on the weather thread as I will update consistently as needed in the tropics part, even if I don't update the main forecast section.
