On Tuesday, September 27th, Disney World announced that the theme parks would close due to the threat of Hurricane Ian. This closure was scheduled to last through Thursday, September 29th.

Now that the storm has passed by Central Florida and the weather is starting to clear up, Disney is getting ready to reopen the parks. They will do this with a phased reopening, which means that the park opening times are a little different than usual. Check out the full schedule for reopening here.

On Friday, September 30th, the Disney World theme parks will begin a phased reopening.

Here’s the schedule for when each park will open, with all times in EST:

As usual, Park Pass Reservations are required to enter any theme park on Friday, September 30th. The Park Pass Reservation calendar has been updated to show available parks on Friday.
