Disney Cruise Line
The Disney Cruise Line® continues to monitor Tropical Storm Fay very closely.
Tropical Storm Fay has stalled along the eastern coast of Florida near our homeport of Port Canaveral, and its path is uncertain at this point.
For this reason, Port Canaveral has been closed by the Port Authority and the Aug. 21, 2008 sailing of the Disney Wonder® will set sail on its 3-night itinerary from Port Everglades, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Other than the departure port change, we do not anticipate any additional changes in the upcoming Disney Wonder itinerary. Transportation will be provided for Guests with transfers and those arriving by private vehicle at Port Canaveral. It is important that departing Guests park at our terminal in Port Canaveral as the ship is scheduled to return there on Sunday, Aug. 24, 2008.
The Disney Magic® is currently on a 15-night Panama Canal voyage and is scheduled to return to Port Canaveral on Monday, Sept. 1, 2008.
The safety and security of our Guests and Crew Members are always our top priority, and we monitor the weather very closely. If necessary, our Captains are always prepared to alter the ships’ courses or itineraries to navigate away from inclement weather.
Walt Disney World Resort
The Walt Disney World® Resort safely withstood the wind and rain associated with Tropical Storm Fay. We have returned to normal operations in all areas.

Here is the latest video from The Weather Channel.
It appears that lots of rain will fall on Florida overnight as Fay turns to the Northwest and slowly crosses over the Florida peninsula late tonight and tomorrow. There will likely be flooding and driving may become treacherous during heavy downpours so please try and stay off the roads until the storm has passed.
The good news is that from some of the chatter on the boards I have seen this afternoon, the lines for the rides at Disney World were very short today and will probably remain so over the next few days as tourists are held off by the weather conditions.
