Here is the national hurricane centre web site: <a href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/" target="_blank">http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/</a> By Saturday, looks like it will be north of Florida. Here is another useful web site: <a href="http://www.accuweather.com/us/fl/orlando/" target="_blank">http://www.accuweather.com/us/...orlando/</a> You should be fine by the time you reach Florida, and next week isn't looking too bad, some sunny days, some rainy days.
Originally Posted By MsLindanne Thanks Mark! I saw something about that tonight too, on our local weather report so a week at WDW should be ok.

I don't mind a little rain, but all that other stuff I can certainly do without. Thanks for the links and have a great trip!! ºoº
