Photos spread online were meant to show Disney World and Cinderella's Castle underwater after Hurricane Milton.

Disney World closed several of its theme parks and Disney Springs this week as Hurricane Milton hurtled toward Florida's coast.In an update posted to its website Thursday morning, Disney World announced adjustments to its operations, including temporary closures of attractions and entire parks. The update confirmed that the Walt Disney World theme parks, water parks, recreation offerings, and Disney Springs are now closed through Thursday, October 10.

The area outside the castle is inaccurate too, most notably missing the statue of Mickey Mouse with Walt Disney directly outside the castle.It's unclear what part of the park the other AI images shared online were meant to be, although these are also fakes. A guard rail in one of the images has a reflective mirror-like surface that does not match the others next to it, while a building in the same image appears misshapen.
