Walt Disney World and Universal Studios are closing early in anticipation of the dangerous storm.

Sunshine, beaches, alligators, a Taylor Swift song. The word “Florida” brings to mind many things for many people but near the top of that list has to be “Disney.” The company’s massive Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, with its multiple theme parks and more, is the state’s largest tourist attraction. Then, 20 minutes away is another massive draw, Disney competitor Universal Studios Orlando.

At Walt Disney World, parks will remain open today, Tuesday, October 8, and then open as planned tomorrow, Wednesday, October 9. However, on October 9 Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom will close at 1 p.m. while Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney Springs will close at 2 p.m. All parks are also likely to remain closed on Thursday, October 10. There’s an extra ticketed event that evening, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and tickets for that will be refunded.
