Oh, thank you!!! Looks great!!! And I love that the cars at Tomorrowland Speedway are still lined up!! Damage looks limited to trees and such! Sort of eerie to not see anyone walking around the park!!!!

It’s very eerie to see it empty! But also really cool to see just how big some of the show buildings are when all we see are the facades. Very cool!

I enjoy how he said

“I know some of you don’t care.”

Very interesting stuff

@bexruns Thank you for posting that link! It was wonderful to see everything intact and no major damage.

@nascfan Yes, I agree it is eerie to see it empty.

@sej101 Lol I thought that quote was funny too!

Wow that is such great news! I literally was still supposed to be there today when we had to add on extra days due to our flights being cancelled. However, getting a rental car and driving all the way home got us out of Irma’s path. I’m so thankful WDW is safe and everything looks so great!

The parks were built with a hypothetical Cat 6 in mind, so it comes as no surprise that most of the damage is cosmetic.

I had no idea, that’s great!

It was super eerie though to see a completely empty park like that. I mean I’ve run through the esplanade at DL plenty of times very early in the morning (like 5am) but you usually see people inside working/cleaning so it’s not totally empty.
