4. SOUNDBITE (English) Charlene Healy Falvey and Robert Falvey, tourists from Ireland:
“You don’t want to take away from the fact that I think coast got a battering and I think a lot of places were destroyed. And up here it wasn’t well, but like as tourists, I think we feel like we got away with a lot. To be fair.”

“When I woke up during the night, the windows were shaking there and the wind was really, really high. For a minute or two I was scared. So apart from that, we were fine."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Ann Hughes and Greg Hughes, Scotland:
“But obviously our friends and family have seen it on the news already. Watch. We were lucky, I suppose here it wasn’t as bad as what it could have been. It was in other places, so I think the see on the television is maybe worse than what we’ve had here. So we are lucky that nothing really happens.” Greg: “Loads of messages from people back home to make sure we’re okay the phone was going quite a bit yesterday. It’s good to know that people at least cared.”

STORYLINE:
Florida theme parks including Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld say they’ll open their gates on Friday after shutting down for Hurricane Milton.
The three Orland-based parks say they’ll reopen after assessing the storm’s damage. All shut down on Wednesday.
Irish tourists Charlene and Robert Falvey say they’ll try to get into Universal theme park tomorrow before they have to fly home. Their flight Thursday was canceled.
The parks say some Halloween special events won’t be offered and they won’t necessarily be fully functioning, but the public is welcome back.
Milton put a damper on the vacation of tens of thousands of tourists, many of whom hunkered down in hotels during the closures. Orlando International Airport stopped commercial operations Wednesday morning and had not yet announced a reopening time.
