Walt Disney World Advises Resort Guests to Continue Sheltering Indoors Following Hurricane Milton

Now that Hurricane Milton has mostly made its way through the State of Florida, Walt Disney World has advised that resort guests continue to shelter indoors.

Disney Tells Guests to Shelter Indoors After Hurricane Milton

Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World stands majestically, surrounded by lush gardens and elegant statues, under a cloudy sky as the resort reopens after Hurricane Milton.

In an update posted this morning to the Walt Disney World Weather Updates webpage, Disney says the following:

Walt Disney World and Vero Beach Resort Hotel Guests: Please continue to shelter inside while we assess the storm’s impact. We’ll let you know when it is safe to be outdoors.

The Walt Disney World theme parks, water parks, recreation offerings and Disney Springs are now closed through Thursday, October 10.

Walt Disney World Resort and Disney Springs are closed today, October 10, 2024. This includes the Disney Springs parking garages, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park, and the two miniature golf courses. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has also been cancelled for this evening, and event tickets will be refunded.

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, the Copper Creek Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and the Treehouse Villas at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa are also temporarily closed. The Copper Creek Cabins will likely reopen on Friday, October 11, but the other accommodations are likely to remain closed until Sunday, October 13.

Ticket expiration dates for partially-used multi-day tickets will be adjusted to expire on October 11, 2025. Learn more about ticket validity following Hurricane Milton.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared a State of Emergency for the Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resor areas on October 5, when Hurricane Milton was still a tropical storm.

Walt Disney World paused hotel reservations for October 9 and 10, due to the storm. Park reservations have also been blocked for these two days. Hotel cancellation and change fees have been waived for resort guests, with Disney extending their policy twice to accommodate those who have had to adjust plans due to the hurricane.
