Hurricane Ian continues to threaten much of Florida — including Disney World.
Rain in Hollywood Studios
We’ve been tracking the storm since it was just a tropical depression, but Ian has quickly turned into a powerful system and ultimately went past Cuba as a Category 3 hurricane. A Hurricane Watch, Tropical Storm Warning, and flood advisories have been issued for Disney World, and now it looks Disney World is officially closing its doors due to Hurricane Ian.
Disney World has already announced some hotel closures and changes in dining reservation policies, but more changes are on the way.
Disney World shared a message with Cast Members via the Hub regarding upcoming theme park closures due to Hurricane Ian. Disney World will close its theme parks and water parks on Wednesday, September 28th, and Thursday, September 29th.
