Walt Disney World Issues Statement on Hurricane Milton

As Hurricane Milton intensifies and heads toward Florida, Walt Disney World Resort has issued a statement to reassure guests that they are closely monitoring the storm’s progress. The storm is forecasted to strengthen into a major hurricane, potentially affecting Central Florida by midweek, though the resort remains fully operational for now.

Disney’s Official Statement
In its statement, Walt Disney World emphasized that the safety of both guests and cast members is a top priority.

The statement reads:

“Walt Disney World Resort is currently operating under normal conditions. We are closely monitoring the path of the projected storm as we continue to prioritize the safety of our Guests and Cast Members.”

Milton has just strengthened into a Category 1 Hurricane, with max sustained winds of 80 mph. Milton is still forecast to intensify into a major hurricane early this week and remain a major hurricane as it approaches the west coast of Florida midweek.

While Walt Disney World Resort continues normal operations, guests are advised to stay informed, as conditions could change rapidly depending on the storm’s path. The resort has already restricted theme park reservations for Wednesday, signaling that precautionary measures are being implemented ahead of the storm’s potential impact.

Hurricane Milton is moving east-southeast at 6 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. With sustained winds expected to exceed 115 mph, Central Florida, including the Walt Disney World area, could face heavy rainfall, strong winds, and potential flooding when the storm makes landfall.
