Hurricane Milton Impacts Florida's Theme Parks and Tourism
Hurricane Milton has prompted significant disruptions across Florida, forcing major theme parks like Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando to close in anticipation of the storm's landfall. While some visitors elected to ride out the hurricane in hotels, many others were concerned about their plans, as the storm may have lasting financial implications for Disney. Despite the closures, a few guests attended parks ahead of the hurricane, expressing mixed feelings about their safety. Reports indicate that recovery preparations are underway, although the storm could result in up to $200 million in losses for Disney. As the cleanup begins, officials are assessing the damage and planning for potential reopening dates.
