Fortunately Tropical Storm Fay ended up landing farther south than expected and pretty much bypassed us here in Tampa, but at the same time we couldn’t help but notice that the new path put it dangerously close to Mickey’s house instead!
As luck would have it, though, Disney World ended up being spared also,
but I think it’s interesting to see some of the steps that they did to help prepare for even a less-than-hurricane strength storm. Mike Scopa just so happened to be at Disney over the past week and put up some photos from around the Magic Kingdom that provide a glimpse at Mickey’s storm prep activities. Clearly they weren’t too worried about it, or the parks themselves would’ve been closed down as they were for Charley and Frances back in 2004, even with the smaller storms, it’s important to secure any loose objects to avoid them becoming projectiles. All in all, most of the structures themselves are able to sustain high winds, but here in Florida, it’s still better to be safe than sorry…
