Hurricane (now Tropical Storm) Ian has been impacting various places within Florida, including Disney World.
Disney World closed its theme parks on September 28th and 29th, various special events were canceled, some hotels were closed, and even the airport has adjusted its operations due to the storm. But what if you’re at a Disney World hotel and looking to eat? We’ve got all the updates you need right here.
Due to Tropical Storm Ian, various spots in Disney World may be unavailable, including restaurants within the Disney World hotels. On the Disney World weather updates page, they’ve noted that they “continue to operate select Resort dining options with availability subject to change.”
Guests are encouraged to check with each individual spot for more information on what’s available and their operating hours.
Disney has shared a FULL list on their site of the hotel restaurants that are open and which ones are closed. Keep in mind, this list is subject to change. We’ll be on the lookout for updates.
