The one time I was in the parks during a Tornado Watch -- that turned into a warning -- the cast said absolutely nothing about it. In fact, they happily trammed us out into the middle of the DHS parking lot and let us slog thru tropical-storm-like rain and wind out to our car. Needless to say, we were soaked. We drove back to Tampa with the heater and A/C both on full blast, and were almost dry (except for those areas where the HVAC couldn't reach, of course) by the time we got home.

Orange County was just added to the watch.

We are hanging at hotel and heading to DHS by 5 or 6. Last night, we're going rain or shine! 😂

Looks like we got lucky in the Panhandle. Good luck!

I hope everybody in FL stays safe today! The weather will be rough for a bit but at least we will have nice weather on the other side!

Tornado watch just issued for just west of Disney. If you are in the parks today - please LISTEN to cast if the weather turns

For the budget minded, use a clear trash bag and punch some holes in it for your head and arms.
