Same here...but mine was a cat 1...Isaac! Of course, I was in BR for Katrina.I live in Louisiana and have been through many Hurricanes. The only one that scared me was a Cat 2 storm (Hurricane Gustav).

Disney is not going to close the parks until they HAVE to. They are probably hoping the storm turns, or lessens.
Some may have missed this post but it's interesting and sounds probable about why you aren't seeing your reservation updated yet.

Ah, I use Chrome on my iPhone and it has an option to use regular site vs. mobile version. I haven't tried to see if that works though, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I do forget not everyone uses Chrome. I do so I can use the same things on both PC and MACView attachment 268013
Using browser safari iPhone 7 and no option for chat. They might be able to pull that and add it depending on availability though.
At what point might Disney announce park closure for Sun? Seems like a fairy safe bet at this point... I can't recall how they handled this for Matthew or others...
because it's not remotely good. it's at best, "slightly less bad"Again, I'm not sure where I told anyone they would still go or feel bad for cancelling or anything like that. My point is, if it was a 5 and getting stronger that would be way worse than a 4 and getting stronger. That's all. Why folks insist on putting words in folks posts are beyond me. I was finding a silver lining in that fact that it's a 4 now and yeah, it may get a little stronger and still be a 3 or strong 2 in Orlando. But all that's better than if it were a 5 now and just getting stronger. Why can't anyone find something good to focus on in a storm that is full of bad?

No, that's not how it happened. We were there. We arrived via boat about 10:00, 10:30. Our boat captain told us when he picked us up they'd just told them they were going to close the park at 5:00 that day. When we went through security, same. Again at turnstiles, same. Everywhere we went, they mentioned, we'll be closing at 5:00 today. And announcements were made over the park loudspeakers that the park was closing at 5:00. We hit up several F&W booths, bought snacks in France and Norway to eat later that night. Then ate at Via Napoli right at 4:15 or so. We chatted with a lot of the staff that were tying down the booths for F&W all afternoon. There was plenty of word being given out that it was closing. Now, could folks have not paid attention? Sure. But it wasn't just announced to leave.I was watching periscope when they did it at epcot. There was no warning they made an announcement to leave the park. Most people were looking around going what did that say??
Yes the kids are coming with me. That would be cool to see the pic. Was it Frog Choir or Ragtime Gals?Sounds like things are still fairly good in Orlando proper. That's good.
Are the kids coming with you to AoA tomorrow? (I meant to tell you, I'm pretty sure I saw your son perform when at Universal in June, I need to find my pic to post to show you, I'll have to dig through them but he sure looked like the pic you posted a while back) sorry to veer off there.

I grabbed my phone to check and saw this (it does open a chat window) this is after I clicked "Desktop site)Okay I also pulled it up as desktop on safari and nothing changed. I can test chrome in a minute on dd16 phone.
Not only that but both Cat 4 and Cat 5 are listed as "Catastrophic". There is no silver lining in CATASTROPHIC.It's at 150 mph now. It's 7mph from cat 5. It's basically the same thing. There's not really any difference between it being a cat 4 and getting strong then a cat 5 and getting stronger.
Once you hit 150mph, it's basically the same destruction you'd get at 170
Ragtime GalsYes the kids are coming with me. That would be cool to see the pic. Was it Frog Choir or Ragtime Gals?
