Hurricane Milton Forces Closures at Walt Disney World

Walt Disney World in Florida is joining theme parks like SeaWorld and Universal in closing its doors as Hurricane Milton approaches. The closures will begin in phases starting at 1 p.m. Wednesday, with resorts expected to remain closed on Thursday.

Safety Measures and Impact on Visitors

Additional facilities such as water parks, miniature golf, and campgrounds will also be shut down. The decision was made after United Parks and Resorts announced similar measures for its theme parks in Florida.

  • The Magic Kingdom, a prime attraction, will close its doors.
  • Orlando is the most visited destination in the U.S., drawing in millions annually.
  • October typically witnesses high tourist traffic due to Halloween events.

Visitors, like Nicole and Zeb Downs from Arkansas, are adjusting their plans, re-evaluating their 12-day vacation in Florida for their family of five.
