The Walt Disney World Emergency Operations Center is connected to weather experts and community leaders.

It is likely the theme parks will remain closed on Thursday, October 10. We will consider opening Disney Springs on Thursday in the late afternoon, with limited offerings.

This includes the cancellation of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom park on Thursday, October 10. Event tickets will be refunded.

What’s your favorite part about Universal Studios? The thrill rides? The food? My favorite thing about a Universal Studios vacation is staying at one of the on-site hotels! The quality is amazing!! It’s a tie for me between Portofino Bay Hotel and Sapphire Falls. (If you want those free unlimited express passes, always choose Portofino)

💙Sapphire Falls has such an amazing pool -with a sandy beach, and the resort is just beautiful! There’s even a Whiskey Bar on-site!!
🧡Portofino Bay is just awesome, multiple pools, amazing dining options, and close proximity to everything! Book a club level room, you won’t regret it!

Trust me, stay at a Universal hotel next time you take your family to Universal Studios in Orlando! It’s worth it!
