The post ALERT! New Disney Holiday Decor Is Online Now! first appeared on the disney food blog.

Hurricane Ian is heading into Florida, causing tornado warnings, closures, evacuations, and more.

We’ve got a look at what’s been going on in the Orlando and Disney World areas, as well as info on the airport closures and hotel accommodations. The Disney World parks, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld are all closed due to the storm, but now, we’ve seen a sign that the closure in Disney World could be longer than expected.

Park Pass Reservations are now unavailable for Friday, September 30th.

This is a recent change, as they were available this morning (Wednesday, September 28th).

Disney World previously announced that the parks would be closed on Wednesday, September 28th and Thursday, September 29th. They have yet to make an announcement about Friday, September 30th. But, if these reservations are any indication, it’s looking like Disney is anticipating the parks to be closed. Or, at the very least, they don’t want to allow people to make reservations just in case the parks need to stay closed.

Also note that Disney Springs is closed today, Wednesday, September 28th, and is anticipated to be closed on Thursday, September 29th.

We’ll keep you updated on if we hear any news about the parks and/or Disney Springs being closed on Friday.

For more on Hurricane Ian, take a look at our recent posts:

• Most Central Florida Publix Grocery Stores Have CLOSED Due to Hurricane Ian
• Tornado Warning Issued for Disney World County
• NEWS: Disney Wish Sailing CANCELED Due to Hurricane Ian
• NEWS: Universal Orlando and SeaWorld CLOSING Due to Hurricane Ian

The post Friday No Longer Showing Park Pass Availability in Disney World first appeared on the disney food blog.

Over the past few days, we’ve seen Hurricane Ian strengthen to a massive storm and get closer and closer to Florida.

Disney World, SeaWorld, Universal Orlando, and more have announced closures, and we’re sharing updates on what it’s like to be in Orlando ahead of the storm. Now we’ve got an update on another thing being impacted by the Hurricane.

Brightline has sent out a notice sharing that their rail service will be operating on a modified schedule with only 12 departures on Wednesday, September 28th. For those who may not be aware, Brightline is the company that’ll eventually have a train that’ll connect Miami to the Orlando International Airport. The station at Orlando Airport’s Terminal C is set to open in 2023.

Ultimately, the Brightline train is set to go from the Orlando Airport on a path by Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe and then to a station “near” (but not at) Disney World. The train station that was supposed to be at Disney Springs has been canceled, but Brightline expects to still build a station near the resort.

For now, Brightline’s stations in West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and MiamiCentral will be open with only essential guest services. Onboard service and baggage service won’t be available, but there will be a train attendant onboard for guest safety.

You can head to the Brightline website to see their departure schedule and see what will be happening today. For example, it lists some departures from Fort Lauderdale to Miami today, but others have already been canceled for this afternoon.

We also saw that some train trips from Fort Lauderdale to Miami for the 29th had already been canceled as well.

In addition to making some changes to their train schedule, Brightline has temporarily stopped all construction activities in South Florida and Central Florida throughout various counties including Orange County (where part of Disney World is located).

They shared, “All upcoming work, including closures at railroad crossings, will be postponed until the storm has passed and work can safely resume.”

Some railroad crossings under construction will remain closed during the storm, but detours will stay in place. Check out the details below:

Indian River County

• Vero Beach – Railroad Crossing at 12th St. — Currently closed. To remain closed through storm and will reopen once work can be completed.
• Vero Beach – Railroad Crossing at Oslo Rd. — Currently closed. To remain closed through storm and will reopen once work can be completed.

Palm Beach County

• Boca Raton – Railroad Crossing at NW 2nd St. — Currently closed. To remain closed through storm and will reopen once work can be completed. Eastbound NW 2nd St. will remain open to access NW 1st Ave.

Miami-Dade County

• Miami – W. Dixie Highway / Harriet Tubman Highway between NE 202nd St. and NE 195th St. — Full road closure through October 2022.

Hurricane Ian has made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 and is set to impact much of the state.

As Hurricane Ian starts to travel inland, people staying in Central Florida are on high alert.

With the theme parks and the airport closed, both locals and visitors are hunkering down and preparing to weather the storm as it arrives in full force later on Wednesday. However, there seems to be no “calm before the storm” as tornadoes become the next threat for the area.

We reported earlier that Central Florida was under a tornado watch, but now that has leveled up to a tornado warning for Osceola and Brevard counties. A severe thunderstorm in the area is showing rotation, which puts the areas in the “warning” tier until at least 3:30PM ET, according to the Fox 35 Storm Team.

ALERT: Tornado Warning issued for Osceola until 9/28 3:30PM. This means a tornado has been detected on radar or physically sighted. Stay with @FOX35Orlando for updates LIVE on TV and streaming –> https://t.co/LoFKtuI6wW pic.twitter.com/xoBuzfQkeH

We’ll continue to update you on the tornado situation as necessary. The hurricane itself is a Category 4, but has winds just a few mph shy of becoming a Category 5. It’s expected to bring life-threatening storm surges, flooding, and catastrophic winds. If you’re in the area, make sure to find somewhere safe to stay until it passes.

Part of Disney World is in Osceola County, so this may affect those staying on property. The hurricane is projected to affect Central Florida late Wednesday and into Thursday, but keep in mind that the path could change at any point.

If you’re traveling and the hurricane has affected your plans, make sure to keep following along for all the cancelation and refund policies you need to know. The theme parks are changing the typical rules for booking due to the storm.
