Yes I can imagine. Very little of it you can change, and it's always worthwhile to consider what is under your control, and what is not. You can change to other airlines, but I would guess the booked service to Orlando remains your best way to go there. The one thing you could do is prepare a Plan B, so would you be OK to fly via Heathrow or Madrid or New York if there are problems on Saturday. I'm guessing the Evelop service to JFK won't be full for example.
