Despite the looming threat of Hurricane Milton, determined Disney World fans continued visiting the park just hours before its closure. Many arrived in ponchos and with umbrellas, undeterred by the hurricane warning. Disney plans to close its Orlando parks by 1 p.m. on Wednesday, with resorts likely to remain shut through Thursday as the storm approaches.
Other major Florida attractions, like Universal Studios and SeaWorld, have also announced closures ahead of the hurricane. Hurricane Milton is expected to be one of the worst storms Florida has seen in over a century, prompting FEMA to issue warnings about its deadly and catastrophic potential as it nears the Gulf Coast.
On Tuesday evening, President Joe Biden urged residents in affected areas to follow evacuation orders, stressing the serious risks posed by the storm. With the hurricane predicted to make landfall Wednesday night, officials are emphasizing the need for people to prioritize safety.
Yet, even with these dire warnings, some Disney enthusiasts are still eager to enjoy a final few hours at the park, taking advantage of the time before the storm forces everything to close. Their dedication to experiencing Disney magic, even in the face of a hurricane, is a testament to their love for the park.
