Hurricane Irma to Possibly Affect Walt Disney World Operations, What to Know If You’re Visiting WDW

WDWNT on September 19, 2017

Hurricane Irma, a dangerous Category 5 hurricane, could impact Central Florida and operations at Walt Disney World in the coming days.

width=

While it is still too soon to narrow down specifics on the exact path of Irma’s center and eyewall, there is an increasing chance of a major hurricane strike on at least part of South Florida, including the Florida Keys, this weekend. According to the latest NHC forecast, the center of Irma may be very close to South Florida by Saturday night, with conditions going downhill already during the day on Saturday.

While the event is still too far out for projections to be absolutely correct, there is a possibility of impact to the Walt Disney World Resort.

In preparation for the storm, Florida Gov. Rick Scott has declared a state of emergency for all 67 Florida counties ahead of Hurricane Irma.

The number one question we received last year as Hurricane Matthew threatened Orlando was in regards to Walt Disney World’s cancellation and refund policies during these types of events. For this unfamiliar with Walt Disney World’s hurricane policy:

If a hurricane warning is issued by the National Hurricane Center for the Orlando area—or for your place of residence—within 7 days of your scheduled arrival date, you may call in advance to reschedule or cancel your Walt Disney Travel Company Magic Your Way vacation package and most room only reservations (booked directly with Disney) without any cancellation or change fees imposed by Disney.

If you have products and services provided by third-party suppliers included in your vacation—such as airlines, hotels, car rental agencies or vacation insurance companies—you will continue to be responsible for any non-refundable payments, as well as cancellation or change fees assessed by those suppliers. The policy does not apply to certain special events or dining experiences.

This policy also applies to Disney’s Vero Beach Resort or Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort in the event a hurricane warning is issued for those destinations.

If you have questions or you wish to reschedule your vacation due to a hurricane warning, please call (407) 939-7675. Guests under 18 years of age must have parent or guardian permission to call.

Of course, WDWNT.com will continue to provide updates as we get closer to the storm and its projected arrival.

VIDEO: See How Epcot at Walt Disney World Is Getting Prepared for Hurricane Irma

WDWNT on September 17, 2017

Yesterday, we took a trip to Epcot to enjoy a lightly-attended day at the Food and Wine Festival 2017, and while we were there, we found that the park was already well-underway into preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Irma. The following video shows all the changes the park had made up until yesterday to get ready for the storm. Enjoy:

PHOTOS: Disney Distributing Safety and Information Pamphlets to Resort Guests Prior to Hurricane Irma

WDWNT on September 17, 2017

Disney World is distributing important “Resort Impacts” pamphlets to all guests staying at their resort hotels during Hurricane Irma.

width=

width=

The first paper lists the park and Disney Springs closure information for today, Saturday, September 9th, as well as the information on the closures for the next two days. There is then some helpful information on food and provisions. We have been advised that all resort restaurants will likely only be serving “limited boxed lunch menus” starting Sunday, even if they usually offer table service dining.

The other pamphlet repeats most of the information from the first.

VIDEO: See the Damage Hurricane Irma Caused at Walt Disney World’s Theme Parks

WDWNT on September 17, 2017

Hurricane Irma passed through Walt Disney World this week, closing the parks for two days and many attractions for even longer. While the parks did reopen yesterday, damage was quite evident at the Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, as well as in the Epcot Resort Area. Take a look:

The Magic Kingdom

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Epcot Resort Area

Of course, several Walt Disney World attractions remain closed following the storm.

UPDATE: Fort Wilderness at Walt Disney World Will Likely Re-Open Next Week

WDWNT on September 17, 2017

Since even before Hurricane Irma struck, Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground at the Walt Disney World Resort has been closed for the safety of guests, and now for the clean up of the area. For whatever reason, there are fake-news articles plastered all over the Internet claiming the Resort will never reopen. Almost needless to say, the resort will indeed reopen, likely next week according to Disney cast members.

As of right now, Disney is eyeing Monday for the reopening of the Resort and Campground area but has yet to make any statement on a re-opening date.

Fort Wilderness isn’t the only Walt Disney World offering still closed thanks to storm damage, with Typhoon Lagoon, the Walt Disney World Railroad, Kali River Rapids, and The Jungle Cruise still shuttered as of this story’s publication.
