When I went to Florida for the first (and only) time in my life, it was raining. What I was told that it generally tends to rain/storm in the most popular summer months. I dont know if that's true or not, though.
Yeah, the frankness really surprised me when the Irma was bearing down two years ago. I would expect Disney to be more gentle about it than naming a life-threatening weather event, rather than just saying "weather"
"Thank you for visiting Disney World. Please note that space mountain will be temporarily closed due to the impending nuclear fallout. Again, thank you for visiting Disney World."
Yeah. The announcement last year in 2018 for the delayed Fourth of July fireworks at Magic Kingdom was the most proper, but long Announcement I’ve ever heard. Bc there were thunderstorms and rain. But this was abrupt of how they announced the closing
“The Magic Kingdom is now temporality closed due to a nuke sent from the aliens. Again, the Magic Kingdom is now temporality closed due to a nuke sent from the aliens. Thank you for your stay at Magic kingdom! Come again soon!
We were also in Disney during the week of Dorian. Barely any rain but the parks were so empty the following days!! It was awesome. Florida got spared to say the least
As a Midwesterner, I have been totally sucked in to your hurricane videos. It's so weird to see Disney and their massive hotels so empty and gloomy. I love it. Thanks!
WalkerFilms So I had to drive home from Ft Lauderdale to Pensacola on September 11th. It was the most surreal thing I’ve ever seen. The governor was terrified Disney would be a target so they opened all tolls and encouraged everyone to go home. Nobody moved and if they did they didn’t take the highway. A 10 1/2 hr drive took me 8. I saw 3 cops the entire length of the state.
The video shows anyone, who has never been close to a coming hurricane, how scary such an event can be! And that was only nearby. Thanks for the experience and the video!
I love Disney World. I have so many great memories from visiting it back in 2015. It was the first time I’ve ever been to the US. Luckily there was not a hurricane.
funny thought, the cameramen probably thought "wow great, some random dude with a camera is going to be in our story" when in reality this video is going to have more eyes than their story lol
I was there too! This was my first trip to the US and probably the only time in a decade I'd visit, the low crowds were absolutely amazing for us. We were a bit worried when we checked in at the 31st though. The day the parks closed early, we went to Magic Kingdom in the morning and Epcot in the afternoon, it was definitely a one of a kind experience I won't forget anytime soon!
Whenever you're in FL, there's a hurricane! Mother Nature doesn't want you to have a nice vacation! I've experienced Sandy back in 2012 when I was living in NJ, it was hit hard. I had power but majority of my neighborhood didn't. Lots of flooding and debris, my middle school was closed for some time as it was near the river. It took a while for NY and NJ to heal from Sandy
Avery the Cuban-American, oye ¨panita¨, nosotros en Puertorro tuvimos la experiencia hace 2 años (20 Septiembre ´17) de María (vientos sostenidos de 160 mph en en sureste y un estimado de 120 mph sostenidos en Bayamón, donde vivo) y un huracán de ese nivel (como 13 horas de vientos huracanados vs. 40 horas en Ábaco y Freeport) no se lo desearías NI A TU PEOR ENEMIGO. Espero que los hispano parlantes cooperen con comida no perecedera y medicinas sin receta (además de cualquier artículo que ellos pidiesen especialmente) para NUESTROS HERMANOS Y HERMANAS BAHAMEÑOS que SE LO MERECEN. Si Jake no ha podido publicar los links para la ayuda busquen atraves de la BAHAMAS RED CROSS directamente o atraves de fondos establecidos por la AMERICAN RED CROSS - CRUZ ROJA AMERICANA (la misma que maneja las emergencias en la Isla) para hacerla llegar a su contraparte en esas islas. Ellos han sido altamente confiables en situaciones similares y tienen la responsabilidad financiera para hacer llegar los fondos correctamente. Gracias por su entendimiento y cooperación... Avery, "bro"... We've already went through this 2 years ago (20 September '17) with Hurricane Maria, with 160 mph sustained winds in the southeast and ~ 120 mph in Bayamon, where I live. We had to sustain 13 hours of hurricane force winds vs. 40 hours for Abaco and Freeport and I wouldn't DESIRE THAT TO YOUR WORST ENEMY. Hope that the audience out there will cooperate with non-perishable food and over-the-counter medicines, along with any other item they claim as needed for OUR BAHAMIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS that DESERVE IT. If Jake couldn't put the help links just search directly for the BAHAMAS RED CROSS or through funds established by the AMERICAN RED CROSS (same one that manages emergencies in our Island) to make it available to their sister entity up there. They have a long-established record of financial accountability in the passing of such help. Thanks for your understanding and help.
You're insane. I literally went to Disney about the same day as you, and I knew from what it looked like the days before, it wasn't going to hit Disney that hard, but then you, you madlad, went to the COAST. THE MOST UNSAFE PART OF FLORIDA, to see the hurricane up close. Holy Shit. (I know I say most dangerous but I know the Bahamas was hit way harder than where you were.)
i live on the coast where he was. we didn't even get hardly any wind of course im talking dorian. irma kicked or damn ass!!!! 1 week with no electric, 4 days with no water, all the stores were empty. if you were lucky enough to get internet on ur cell. the local 711s would put out notice.... at 2pm 711 at tropical trail will open til the store is empty. shit. you would get to the 711 and by 1;15pm the line would be all the way around the buillding. i have seen and been thru at least 7 hurricanes and soom tropical storms that were worst then some hurricanes, but irma was a bitch!!!
Hey! I live 5 minutes outside of orlando, and I drive to coco beach all the time. The capsized boat you mentioned at 10:30 has been capsized for years now. It capsized during hurricane Irma 2 years ago. Many people take pictures and board the capsized ship Bc it hasn’t fully sunk and it never will due to it resting on the shore. The video was fantastic! It was really cool recognizing roads and buildings in the video 😂
Thank you for making this. I am in the UK and was in Orlando years ago for a hurricane but spent most of our time in our Disney surf resort hotel room so I appreciate seeing what outside Disney looks like in a hurricane. I love your videos, again thanks for making this video.
During one of the large early 2000s hurricanes here in Florida, we went to stay at Disney for a week for one specific reason: they have their own power source that doesn't rely on FPL.
Great video as always Jake. As a native of the Cape area, I can tell you that the capsized boat has been there for quite some time. There's several of them around the bridges in that area.
Airwipe i’d prefer knowing in advance when a hurricane will strike and taking the precautions for it. unlike an earthquake where that strikes at any moment with little to no warning. even if it misses us we can donate the supplies we bought to others that are going to be/ were effected by the storm. most of the time they just curve away last second before it touches any part of florida. tornadoes can also happen but are unlikely and are typically weak. hurricanes are the only things we have to worry about. plus everyone pitches in to help one another before and after the hurricane. that’s just my opinion though.
As a fellow Canadian I was down south during this too. I was at the Nascar race in Darlington South Carolina. We had a whole road trip planned. We were planning on going to Myrtle Beach after the race weekend for a few days before heading up to Washington DC and Philly. We kept an eye on the storm as it was originally planned to hit Florida. When we returned to the place we were staying after the Xfinity race on Saturday, it was then known the course would hit the Carolina's. The coast of South Carolina was under mandatory evacuation and obviously our hotel cancelled on us. When I googled Hurricane Dorian the projected path came up on Google maps with my current location right in the middle of it. We ended up staying in Virginia Beach instead as it was on the way to DC and not too different then Myrtle Beach. The hotels there were overwhelmed as a lot of people decided to do the same as us. It didn't ruin the trip but it was a pretty wild experience that's pretty foreign to people from Toronto.
That looked pretty chill since I witnessed Hurricane Maria (Cat 5). The wind sounded louder than an airplane for many hours, the pressure wouldn't let the doors of the house open. When we finally got out, everything was flooded, and some cars got destroyed by flying branches of trees.
This is wild. I evacuated to Disney from the Cocoa Beach area for Dorian. I stayed at the Art of Animation resort and was showing my family the Abandoned Legendary Years episode on it. Little did I know you weren’t too far away. It’s a small world after all!
We have that same "weird energy" in the midwest during tornado season, it's a odd calm mixed with an electric atmosphere. Also, I've never seen WDW that empty, crazy! Great Video
Ty O'Banion I know it’s weird, but to compare probably the atmosphere of a tornado alarm is kinda scary (where I am) everyone goes outside, look at the storm then go to shelter, fun but scary
Donnovan Duran We have a little in ground shelter, I’ll get my kiddos in there safely then watch until it “gets real”. We haven’t had anything too bad since 2011
@Ty O'Banion We usually get one tornado alarm a year with a bad storm included, like no-one here takes tornado alarms not seriously if you hear the alarm it’s like this: get your stuff then go in the car to the relative’s house (we don’t have a tornado shelter) get in the basement and hope for the best. Weather usually isn’t bad, so alarms here are the highlight of the month. I know some places it isn’t, but for us it is.
**HUGE PROPZ & SHOUT OUT JAKE 🙌👏 MASSIVE FAN HERE FROM CANADA 🇨🇦** Pheeeew glad you're safe! Can never get enough of your unique & fascinating vids **PLEASE MAKE MORE** . Hope that your Friday the 13th weekend is wonderful. **MY HEART 💖 GOES OUT TO ALL THE LIVES LOST & PEOPLE. AFFECTED BY HURRICANE DORIAN. SENDING AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF: STRENGTH, RESILIENCE, EMPATHY, COURAGE & POSITIVITY, YOUR WAY.**
Please make one of these every year a hurricane hits Florida and Disney. I love watching these. Oh and don't stop making your other videos too haha Also was just at Cocoa Beach last August. It was glorious
I was at Disney World and Epcot Center in 1991 or 92 as a kid. I bet a lot has changed. ;) Thank you for showing us, who are not affected by hurricanes, the intensity of them. 40 hours in a hurricane sounds horrible. We were meant to go the Bahamas at a day trip but for some reasons we didn't. I wish we had gone.
I’ve stayed at that exact best western in cocoa! My grandpa lives down there and we go there every year, It’s really cool to see you in the same place! Even if there’s a Hurricane
My husband and I just went to Key West after going there for our honeymoon in 2013, and the amount of damage caused by the last (I believe 2017) hurricane was very sad and eerie to see. It looks like quite a few people just cut their losses and tried to move on, which was so sad to see all that devastation even two years later. Homes destroyed, businesses closed...just really sad
Having experienced my first major hurricane when I was 3 years old, I've been studying, tracking and following these things ever since. Harvey was my most recent personal experience, and that was my ninth to be in. Dorian was a crazy storm that did some unprecedented things and will now be remembered as a historic hurricane. Florida was VERY lucky with this one, but the Bahamas was an epic disaster. I'm happy you and your crew were spared the brunt of it. When I saw your livestream video that day, I thought you were gonna be in for some serious stuff.
Me and my family were at Animal Kingdom Lodge that labor day weekend, we left on Monday. Even with Dorian coming the parks were still pretty busy on Sunday.
The calm before the storm in hurricane prone areas is always so spooky. I happened to be at Disney once during a day and a half-ish closure, I never thought to head out to Cocoa Beach, my wife may have had some strong opinions on that tho. Great video, as usual!
Awesome video! I agree I was a bit afraid because it wasn’t very far away from Florida and it was the strongest hurricane on record. I became obsessed with the tracking of it
I spent 2 weeks in Disney World in 2012, and it’s kinda crazy how vividly I remember the parks. Moreso than most vacations I have been on. I guess Disney has done its job at making things memorable.
Wow....we were at the same hotel at the same time...might have even passed by you! We were driving down to Disney for a vacation, and many of our friends and family thought we were nuts going down there. While we still had a great time, watching the islands get hit so hard broke my heart...
never been to disney in a hurricane but i've been RVing in georgia in a monsoon and that was quite the experience, we were at a nice rv resort and with two families we're close with so it was quite fun actually. i love rain. disney in a hurricane is on my bucket list tho
Used to live in Orlando and visit Cocoa Beach often. Back in Ohio since 97 but moving back down - gulf side 😉 soon. Thank you for posting - waiting for my new life to start
I live in Halifax in Canada when it hit us as a tropical storm it knocked over a construction crane into a building under construction. There was also some negligence involved in why it fell down the building is finished now and it’s called “the crane”
2 days before the hurricane we were boarding up the house because we were flying to Cuba the day before the hurricane..luckily everything was alright 🙌🏼
my b/f cousin works at disney. It is one of the safest spot to be as they are pretty much storm ready. They ask their castmembers who is willing to work the storm shift and make sure everything is good. His cousin was there in Irma.
Were slowly watching bright sun films evolve into a storm chaser channel
Tommy Latin not very many bright suns
Tommy Latin We really are
Hey, I’m cool with that
Tommy Latin as someone who works for a weather company, and knows many storm chasers, I’d like that! Haha
I agree with you
Everyone else when there’s a hurricane:
OHMYGOD PANIC PANIC LETS GO GET IN THE CAR!!!!
Jake during a hurricane:
Welp, time to go to Disney World!
honestly you'd probably be safer at Disney
How?
@@kingdragun733 because they don’t respond a year late
@@SeanRileyTalksMovies ?
Jake is a floridian whether he lives here or not, cause that is something us floridians do.
Capturing the emptiness of a still open park that is often crowded. Amazing.
Every time you visit we get a Hurricane!
That’s the thing, though. He really only goes down when there *are* storms. Also, Florida weather.
Arus he did say he went to visit friends, just so happens that there is a hurricane
When I went to Florida for the first (and only) time in my life, it was raining. What I was told that it generally tends to rain/storm in the most popular summer months. I dont know if that's true or not, though.
Coincidence? .....the hell if I know.
Just think of Florida man... flying the flag in the middle of hurricane... what to worry about?
Man back at Disney and Florida during a big hurricane. Big props to you Jake. Keep up the excellent work.
Thank you so much!
Just think of Florida man... flying the flag in the middle of hurricane... what to worry about?
We are now closed due to the impending hurricane OH OK
Yeah, the frankness really surprised me when the Irma was bearing down two years ago. I would expect Disney to be more gentle about it than naming a life-threatening weather event, rather than just saying "weather"

who needs fast passes when you have a hurricane

ikr 😂
Everyone gangsta till the hurricane starts using fast passes to get on splash mountain
LOL
Its my new plan every year.

Jake: She’s insane
Me, a Floridian: That looks fun
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Florida Man is frequently in the news.
as a native floridian, i can basically confirm most of us are crackhead level crazy
I agree
depression-kun I have been in florida for 11 years of my life and i am 12.
*And dat look fun*
Me too lmao
I live in Miami
Nothing happened
But hey at least the tolls were lifted
Just think of Florida man... flying the flag in the middle of hurricane... what to worry about?
Same thing happened with Irma...nothing but a little rain
I live in Orlando and it was just rain and wind(mostly wind)
Everyone who lives in Miami is safe from any hurricanes now 😂
Me too
The terrible part is, if I were a Disney fan, this would be the perfect day to go the park. I hate large crowds and long lines!
beckc101ify that’s what I was thinking
That's why I hate Disneyland's long line, I prefer it mostly small line, but I think it's up to Disney to make a big line.
same, because I have autism and I hate large crowds.
I love these videos, I’m always so interested in how Disney handles situations like this. Great video, as always!
The video shows anyone, who has never been close to a coming hurricane, how scary such an event can be!
And that was only nearby. Thanks for the experience and the video!
Hey Jake,
If you don’t mind me asking, what was the rate for the room Disney offered knowing there was a hurricane coming?
thats what i was wondering as well
i was under the impression that they didn't offer rooms but, i guess they must do
@@omnicognatee Usually the same rate, in the other Disney video it costed him 350 USD for a night!
AaronShenghao cost
Of course you go on the Peoplemover before the hurricane hits
JT LovesCodeLyoko No lines to worry about. 🤣
It’s the calm before the storm.
Literally so calm I’ve taken naps riding the Blue Line.
Gabriel Riefer just have a life vest on during the hurricane and you won’t die.
I’m a big dude, and, in case of an emergency, can be used as a floatation device. 😂
All this advantage you could go on anything you want with no lines
*you go on something that never has lines anyway*
ive gotta say, this video is beautifully shot
I love Disney World. I have so many great memories from visiting it back in 2015. It was the first time I’ve ever been to the US. Luckily there was not a hurricane.
I want to go so bad. Even though I'm a young adult.
@@Twinklethefox9022 its never too late to go to Disney world my dude

Man you have to love Disney. I'd just feel so safe there during a hurricane. Great vid! Really love these disney vids.
Continued prayers and good thoughts for the people of the Bahamas.
Thanks for sharing! And for showing respect to the lives lost in The Bahamas. Crazy to see Disney so empty
That has got to be such an eerie feeling... to be somewhere that is usually full of life & happy & then seeing it so quiet like that.

The waves look crazy even before the hurricane makes landfall dang
The hurricane didn't really make landfall, it was just the outer edge. The sea looks even more scary when one does. A storm surge is no joke.
Hope everyone in Florida is doing okay. Hurricanes are so damn scary ngl
so i actually live mighty close to the area of Cocoa they covered here; we're fiiiiine.

2019: Hurricane Dorian at Disney World
2020: Hurricane Covid19 at Disney World
I remember that hurricane. I wrote it all down in a notebook! I was obsessed. And I love your content Jake!! Keep it up bro
I remember watching the livestream on your personal channel. Glad you were able to safely roll this one out, Jake
I was at Disney World and Epcot Center in 1991 or 92 as a kid. I bet a lot has changed. ;) Thank you for showing us, who are not affected by hurricanes, the intensity of them. 40 hours in a hurricane sounds horrible. We were meant to go the Bahamas at a day trip but for some reasons we didn't. I wish we had gone.
God. these hurricanes at disney videos are so damn cool.
Love the great footage. I also love Fort Wilderness Lodge. Nice choice for lodging.
Thanks for posting. I was really looking forward to this episode.
I’ve stayed at that exact best western in cocoa! My grandpa lives down there and we go there every year, It’s really cool to see you in the same place! Even if there’s a Hurricane
My husband and I just went to Key West after going there for our honeymoon in 2013, and the amount of damage caused by the last (I believe 2017) hurricane was very sad and eerie to see. It looks like quite a few people just cut their losses and tried to move on, which was so sad to see all that devastation even two years later. Homes destroyed, businesses closed...just really sad
It took like a full week for parks to get back to regular crowd conditions. I went on the Saturday after Dorian and it was still pretty chill.
Having experienced my first major hurricane when I was 3 years old, I've been studying, tracking and following these things ever since. Harvey was my most recent personal experience, and that was my ninth to be in. Dorian was a crazy storm that did some unprecedented things and will now be remembered as a historic hurricane. Florida was VERY lucky with this one, but the Bahamas was an epic disaster. I'm happy you and your crew were spared the brunt of it. When I saw your livestream video that day, I thought you were gonna be in for some serious stuff.
Me and my family were at Animal Kingdom Lodge that labor day weekend, we left on Monday. Even with Dorian coming the parks were still pretty busy on Sunday.
I lived in downtown Orlando, Baldwin Park, when this happened. My boyfriend and I hunkered down in our little apartment. It was fun.
this feels borderline apocalyptic
Feral Clown with corona now the whole country feels like this
Storm videos are always the best!
100% cannot wait for that documentary!
Fantastic video and editing 😎
The calm before the storm in hurricane prone areas is always so spooky. I happened to be at Disney once during a day and a half-ish closure, I never thought to head out to Cocoa Beach, my wife may have had some strong opinions on that tho. Great video, as usual!
I’m not sure how much risk you put into this film, but this was amazing work. Great job as always!
Thanks for being our eyes and ears there! Great video, very informative!
I’m from Merritt island. Glad my town was spared and safe from harm. ❤️
Awesome video! I agree I was a bit afraid because it wasn’t very far away from Florida and it was the strongest hurricane on record. I became obsessed with the tracking of it
Hurricanes produce the most beautiful clouds I’ve ever seen
I spent 2 weeks in Disney World in 2012, and it’s kinda crazy how vividly I remember the parks. Moreso than most vacations I have been on. I guess Disney has done its job at making things memorable.
You deserve way more subscribers man ...i watch your videos to relax before bed they are always well done keep up the good work
Wow....we were at the same hotel at the same time...might have even passed by you! We were driving down to Disney for a vacation, and many of our friends and family thought we were nuts going down there. While we still had a great time, watching the islands get hit so hard broke my heart...
The juxtaposition between the stormy coast and the relative calm at Disney is insane to see
Found your channel a couple of days ago and have been binging it. Neat to see your take; I live in Melbourne (FL).
never been to disney in a hurricane but i've been RVing in georgia in a monsoon and that was quite the experience, we were at a nice rv resort and with two families we're close with so it was quite fun actually. i love rain. disney in a hurricane is on my bucket list tho
I love all of these hurricane videos, plz produce more
Used to live in Orlando and visit Cocoa Beach often. Back in Ohio since 97 but moving back down - gulf side 😉 soon. Thank you for posting - waiting for my new life to start
I live in Halifax in Canada when it hit us as a tropical storm it knocked over a construction crane into a building under construction. There was also some negligence involved in why it fell down the building is finished now and it’s called “the crane”
I love your hurricane specials!
You're a good man Jake, please keep fighting that good fight.
I was there the day or two before it hit and it was interesting enough... can only imagine how cool it must have been to be there for it
2 days before the hurricane we were boarding up the house because we were flying to Cuba the day before the hurricane..luckily everything was alright 🙌🏼
Thanks for sharing, great coverage.
my b/f cousin works at disney. It is one of the safest spot to be as they are pretty much storm ready. They ask their castmembers who is willing to work the storm shift and make sure everything is good. His cousin was there in Irma.
Great video as always.
Thank you for doing this video!! 🧡❤️💚💯 much respect Jake!!!
You’ve done it again
And I love it
Looks great, Jake 👍
Well welcome to Florida
