This is an unprecedented storm, and it shouldn't be compared to any others because we just don't know for sure what's going to happen.
You might need/want to cancel. Depending on where you're flying from, what airline, and what other date options you have, you might want to consider it.
You have a good plan. I would recommend keeping your plans and prepare to fly on Wed. The chance of having to change your plans is small. You will know better what the damage is like in plenty of time too.Looking for advice as well. Supposed to fly in on Wed (13th) and stay through Sun (17th). Thinking I can wait until Monday once Irma is past and see what the damage is. Just started looking at other dates in Oct or Nov but can't find accommodations :-(
Yes, sounds like Universal is closed Sunday and most of not all Monday. I have no idea what I'll do for 2 days when everything is closed, but that appears to be the only option not to lose more money and miss out on the trip.
Not the OP, but I guess a related question: I'm supposed to arrive on the 14th for a three day stay at HRH. Can I be reasonably confident that my rental car at MCO and hotel room will actually be available? I don't know how logistics are handled on that level, for example if there has been a big run on rental cars, people are still trying to get home (wherever home is), etc.
Did you read the policies on the Universal site? https://www.universalorlando.com/we...cies-restrictions/index.html#hurricane-policyI called and asked if I could have a little leeway with my reservations, we have them for Thur 14th and they were not very understanding at all. She said it will be out of Orlando like Monday and I said I know then she's heading to Me, in Ga. I was disappointed how they are handling it, just because all is well in Orlando, doesn't mean everyone else is ok and can get there. It's not like I just decided I don't want to go, my kids are looking forward to it. I have till tommorrow to cancel. My biggest concern is traffic with people heading home to Florida, I'm not sure when people will be going back. 75 N. here in Ga has been beyond horrible. I just don't know what to do

no didn't think I would need it.Did you get trip insurance?
Always get that when traveling to Florida during hurricane season. Every year at this time there is one out there and Florida almost always is involved.no didn't think I would need it.
We go to Fla. every fall for the kids fall break since 2003 and have been lucky to never have a issue.Always get that when traveling to Florida during hurricane season. Every year at this time there is one out there and Florida almost always is involved.
