BREAKING: Hurricane Milton Development Prompts Disney To Confirm NEW Theme Park Closures

As Hurricane Milton begins to make its way to the West Coast of Florida, Floridians are preparing for what could be a Category 4 storm by the time it makes landfall. A Hurricane Warning is already in effect for the Disney World area.

If you happen to be in Disney World during this time, we’ve already given you our best tips about how to ride out a hurricane in Disney World. More than likely, you’ll be spending a lot of time in your hotel room, as Disney has confirmed new theme park closures.

Disney recently announced that the theme parks and Disney Springs would close early today, October 9th. Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom will close at 1PM, and Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney Springs will close at 2PM. Disney also announced that the theme parks would likely remain closed tomorrow, October 10th, but Disney Springs could have a limited opening tomorrow afternoon.

However, now, Disney has confirmed that the theme parks and Disney Springs will remain closed tomorrow. If you have partially used multi-day tickets, ticket expiration dates will be changed to October 11th, 2024. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party for tomorrow has also been canceled. If you have tickets for that event, you will be refunded.
