Hurricane Milton is making its way through the Gulf of Mexico and will soon make landfall in Florida.

A significant portion of the state is under a hurricane warning with many major theme parks expected to close ahead of the storm, which is currently a Category 4. Ahead of Hurricane Milton’s arrival, Disney Cruise Line has canceled an upcoming sailing.

Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall sometime on Wednesday, October 9th, and Disney Cruise Line is taking precautions to keep passengers and Cast Members safe by canceling an upcoming sailing on the Disney Wish.

Disney Wish

A cruise on the Disney Wish that was supposed to set sail on Friday, October 11th, has officially been canceled due to the storm. Those who were originally scheduled to be on this cruise will soon be receiving a refund back to their original form of payment. If that’s you, make sure you keep an eye out for that refund.

Booking a cruise just got easier

We’ve also seen closures hit SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.

At the time of publication, both Disney World and Universal Orlando remain open — though that could change at any moment. Disney World had already restricted hotel reservations and park passes for Wednesday and has announced the closure of select hotels that may not be as safe as others.
