Due to Hurricane Helene, Port Canaveral has temporarily closed and Disney Wish will now arrive in port later than initially scheduled.
Port Canaveral Closed
Earlier today, Port Canaveral announced via X that the port “is closed and has ceased all waterside and vessel shoreside Port operations until further notice.”
Due to this closure, Disney Cruise Line made the following announcement via their website:
As of September 26, at 10:30 AM we continue to make necessary operational adjustments following Hurricane Helene. Disney Wish is arriving to Port Canaveral on Friday, September 27, 2024, later than originally scheduled. We ask that Disney Wish Guests sailing on Friday, September 27, postpone their arrival to the terminal by five (5) hours after their selected port arrival time, but no later than 7:00 PM. Guests will not be able to access the cruise terminal or parking facility in Port Canaveral until four (4) hours after their selected port arrival time.
There is no estimate on when Port Canaveral will reopen, so there is a chance that Disney Wish itineraries will be adjusted even more on Friday and potentially beyond. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates when more information becomes available.
Disney Cruise Line ships, Walt Disney World, and Universal Orlando Resort have seen major operational adjustments due to Hurricane Helene. Disney Fantasy skipped a stop in Grand Cayman, select Walt Disney World tours were canceled and then some were uncanceled, and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Halloween Horror Nights 33 were canceled for September 26. Both Universal Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World are under a tornado watch until at least 8 p.m. EDT on Thursday, September 26.
