Tropical Storm Milton Threatens Florida, Disney World Takes Precautions
Tropical Storm Milton is intensifying in the Gulf of Mexico and is now projected to become a major hurricane before reaching Florida this week. In response to this looming threat and the declared State of Emergency, Walt Disney World has taken the precautionary step of temporarily halting hotel reservations for October 8th through 10th.
While Disney hasn’t released an official statement regarding the storm, the unavailability of room bookings for those dates is a strong indicator of their preparations. This measure likely serves to ensure sufficient accommodations for Cast Members who will be essential for maintaining operations and guest services during the storm. These dedicated Cast Members, often referred to as a “ride-out crew,” stay on-site to manage the resort and provide support to guests who may also be riding out the storm.
Historically, when hurricanes have necessitated park closures, Disney World resorts have offered guests a variety of amenities and activities, particularly for children, to make their stay as comfortable as possible.
Storm’s Projected Path and Intensity
Tropical Storm Milton is anticipated to make landfall in Florida late Tuesday evening or Wednesday, potentially as a Category 2 or 3 hurricane. This poses a significant threat to the region, and residents and visitors are urged to monitor the situation closely.
