Florida is set to be ravaged by Hurricane Milton, a Category 5 storm that is going to make landfall on the state’s eastern coast. As areas are evacuated, many are also wondering about one of Florida’s biggest attractions: Walt Disney World in Orlando .
Disney World is one of the biggest theme parks in the world, and it’s also one of the company’s biggest sources of revenue. Following the news of the massive storm, many are wondering whether the theme park usually closes down for hurricanes.
Does Disney World close down for hurricanes?
The short answer to this is it depends. In the case of Hurricane Milton, Disney has said that Disney World will remain open and is operating as normal. According to the park’s website , staffers have been “making adjustments based on the latest weather forecast and some areas with unique environments.”
While the park has remained open, certain attractions have closed down, which is what the initial statement is referring to.
Among those areas that have been closed include Fort Wilderness Report & Campground, the Copper Creek Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and the Treehouse Villas at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa beginning at 11 a.m. on Oct. 9. The Fort Wilderness Resort and Treehouse Villas will remain closed until Oct. 13, whereas the Copper Creek Cabins will reopen on Oct. 11.
