After initially monitoring the approach of Hurricane Ian, Florida’s major theme parks have all taken the decision to close for both today (September 28) and Thursday (September 29).
With Ian forecast to cross directly over central Florida, Disney will close Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot and the Magic Kingdom, as well as Disney Springs. The company has also cancelled Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser voyages due to the potential impact on guest experiences.
Meanwhile, Universal Orlando Resort has also announced its closure on the same days. Universal anticipates reopening on Friday, as conditions permit.
SeaWorld and Legoland have also announced closures, with anticipated reopenings both set for Friday.
Already hitting Cuba, the storm is expected to hit Florida first in the Tampa Bay area.
The storm, with maximum sustained winds rising to near 250 km/h (155 mph), is "rapidly intensifying", the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.
