Tropical Storm Nicole is heading toward Florida and is expected to become a hurricane before it makes landfall in the Sunshine State.
Hurricane Ian in Orlando in September
We’ve seen a bunch of closures due to the storm, including Orlando International Airport, Disney World, Universal, and more. And now, another theme park in Central Florida is shutting down.

SeaWorld said they’re planning to reopen the parks on Friday, November 11th. They also said that precautions are in place to ensure the safety of their animals and ambassadors. If you have tickets for these parks on the days of their closures, you can now use them through December 31st of this year.
