Hurricane Milton has passed Central Florida, but our entire state was hit pretty hard. Clean up begins now so I wanted to share the latest updates from Disney in case you missed it. My heart is broken for those who lost so much in this massive storm. We had some flooding in our home but are thankfully ok. Please remember to be patient as Florida starts to work towards recovery. Here’s Disney’s statement-
We’re grateful Walt Disney World Resort weathered the storm, and we are currently assessing the impacts to our property to prepare for reopening the theme parks, Disney Springs and possibly other areas on Friday, October 11. Our hearts are with our fellow Floridians who were impacted by this storm.
Current operational impacts include:
Theme Parks & Disney Springs
All theme parks and Disney Springs—including the parking garages—are currently closed. This includes the cancellation of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (event tickets will be refunded) for Thursday, October 10.
