On September 26th — 2 days before Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida — we noticed that none of the Disney World hotels were showing availability for the next few days. Disney has done this in the past when extreme weather hit since limiting the number of guests in its hotels makes it easier to take care of the people who are already there if they have to shelter in place.
Grand Floridian Resort
Now, it looks like Disney may have extended the limited availability. The website is now showing no availability at the Disney World hotels through October 2nd.
Disney previously released the Disney World Fab 50 Series 1 Figure Blind Pack and those sold out quickly. However, you can now get the Disney World Fab 50 Series 2 Figure Blind Pack online!
The pack contains one out of ten collectible characters — you could get Minnie, Donald, Pluto, Goofy, Orange Bird, Bambi and Thumper, Bo Peep and Woody, Simba, Timon and Pumbaa, or R2-D2!
