Disney World Urges Guests To Shelter In Place As Hurricane Milton Moves Out of Florida

Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key, FL on Wednesday night and moved across the state of Florida.

The hurricane spawned hundreds of tornadoes and brought heavy wind and rain throughout Central Florida.

The storm has made its way into the Atlantic Ocean and damage assessments are beginning to occur throughout the state. According to PowerOutage.us, over 3 million people are currently without power.

Disney World provided an update at 7:30AM this morning asking guests to continue to shelter inside while they assess the storm’s impact. Disney will give an update when it is safe to be outdoors.

All of the Disney World theme parks, water parks, recreation offerings, and Disney Springs will be closed today, October 10th. As well, Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld Orlando will also be closed on October 10th.

When we checked on Mobile Order availability at the resorts this morning, it looks like the food courts are still closed. We received a pop-up message that guests should contact the Resort Front Desk for operating hours on October 10th at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort.

When trying to make a Mobile Order, the app gives a message that there are no times available. It is likely this functionality may not be available until after Disney has given the okay that it is safe to be outdoors.

We drove through some of Disney World property this morning and saw lots of crews out clearing debris. There was lots of debris and standing water around the resort.

Signage around the resort stated, “All Parks Closed” and no Disney buses were out driving. We mostly only spotted work trucks and security on the roads.

Stay tuned to AllEars for more updates about Hurricane Milton, as well as the reopening timeline for the Orlando attractions. We hope everyone stayed safe during the hurricane.
