Hurricane Ian is projected to impact operations at Walt Disney World this week. While it’s still uncertain whether the storm will greatly impact Central Florida, out of caution, Disney has announced a few closures and is lifting certain cancellation penalties.
Here is the statement from Disney from September 26:
