If it were me, I would think twice before making the trip.

Even if Orlando area doesn't take a direct hit, there will be tons of evacuees there from the west coast of FL and you may encounter loss of power issues (even if not at the resort where you stay, with other local businesses). Not to mention, the traffic is going to be worse than usual. If the storm does track close to Orlando, the attractions will close also. You say you are scheduled to fly in on Sat. afternoon, but my bet is that flight isn't landing anywhere near Orlando that day or time. If you have a travel agent you are using check with them on cancellation/post-ponement and penalties. Due to the circumstances, I would think they may be able to help you out.

Good Luck and congratulations!
