Back in early spring, analysts were predicting Florida’s hurricane season could be extra-active this year. Experts predicted an above-average number of storms would impact the Atlantic from June 1st through November 30th.

So far, the 2020 hurricane season is well ahead of what experts consider to be a “normal pace.” Nine named tropical storms have already developed as of July 29th — and now that Tropical Storm Isaias has been strengthened to Hurricane Isaias, we’ve just learned Accuweather has updated its forecast for the 2020 hurricane season.

Originally, Accuweather’s forecast called for 14-18 tropical storms during the 2020 hurricane season. They predicted seven to nine of these storm systems would likely develop into hurricanes with two to four storms possibly strengthening into major hurricanes.

With such an active start to the hurricane season, however, Accuweather has amended its forecast. They’ve now raised their projected number of named tropical storms to 20-24. They’ve also increased the projected number of hurricanes to 9-11 and the number of major hurricanes to 4-6. 

If you’re headed to the parks this weekend, or anytime through November, be prepared for potentially inclement weather. Make sure you familiarize yourself with Disney World’s hurricane cancelation policy and we’ll keep you updated with all of the important news pertaining to storms moving through Disney World.

Florida is rewriting its hurricane policy for 2020. Here’s what you need to know.

In case you hadn’t heard, the NBA recently resumed their season at Walt Disney World Resort. (Does the NBA usually play at Disney World? Erm, no. But due to the global health crisis this year,Disney World is serving as an isolated “bubble” where the teams can all live and play without coming into contact with anyone else.)

While on property, players in the “Disney NBA Bubble” will have access to theme parks after hours and can even visit their own barber shop. And to commemorate the restart of the NBA season, the Goodyear Blimp has JUST popped up! It’s soaring over ESPN Wide World of Sports to collect aerial footage.

Back in March, we noticed some scaffolding and a construction wall in Adventureland at the Magic Kingdom. At the time, this small refurbishment project impeded the breezeway next to Island Supply by Sunglass Hut, but otherwise wasn’t much of a bother. Today, the scaffolding has finally been taken down. You can see the dark square on the ground where the construction area had been set up. The paint on this archway has been freshly touched-up. This also opens up some […]
