Hurricane Ian is heading into Florida, causing tornado warnings, closures, evacuations, and more.
We’ve got a look at what’s been going on in the Orlando and Disney World areas, as well as info on the airport closures and hotel accommodations. The Disney World parks, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld are all closed due to the storm, but now, we’ve seen a sign that the closure in Disney World could be longer than expected.
Park Pass Reservations are now unavailable for Friday, September 30th.
This is a recent change, as they were available this morning (Wednesday, September 28th).
Disney World previously announced that the parks would be closed on Wednesday, September 28th and Thursday, September 29th. They have yet to make an announcement about Friday, September 30th. But, if these reservations are any indication, it’s looking like Disney is anticipating the parks to be closed. Or, at the very least, they don’t want to allow people to make reservations just in case the parks need to stay closed.
Also note that Disney Springs is closed today, Wednesday, September 28th, and is anticipated to be closed on Thursday, September 29th.
We’ll keep you updated on if we hear any news about the parks and/or Disney Springs being closed on Friday.
