food IS a theme park
Although the U.S. is just starting to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which affected states as far inland as Tennessee and prompted a Tornado Watch and Tropical Storm Warning in Disney World, there are some other potential storms forming in the Atlantic Ocean.
Flooding in Disney World due to Helene
One of these storms has the potential to become severe, and forecasters are watching it carefully. Its path could take it through the Gulf of Mexico, so let’s take a look at it.
Hurricanes can form unexpectedly and suddenly and with that, many theme parks try to come up with the best solution to keep guests and their staff safe.
Magic Kingdom during a hurricane
Hurricane Helene touched down in Florida last night and Disney World has already begun their recovery process, opening up their doors and returning to their regularly scheduled hours. As the incredible cast members came together to restore the grounds, we checked out the park to see what Disney World looks like after a hurricane.
Hurricane Helene is set to arrive in the Gulf Coast of Florida later this evening. Ahead of its arrival, the Orlando area is currently under a Tornado Watch and Tropical Storm Warning.

As a result, Disney World has closed Typhoon Lagoon today, as well as its miniature golf courses, and canceled tonight’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Universal Orlando has also closed Volcano Bay and canceled tonight’s Halloween Horror Nights. Now, we’re starting to see the hurricane’s impact on flights in the year: Over 100 flights have been delayed at Orlando International Airport with 70 flights already canceled.
