Disney World theme parks reopen after passage of Hurricane Wilma

The Walt Disney World Resort theme parks reopened today, Tuesday, October 25, following the passage of Hurricane Wilma.

Hurricane Wilma stormed its way through Southwest Florida but spared the Walt Disney World Resort from massive damage. The resort had closed all of its theme parks, water parks, and entertainment areas outside of its hotels on Monday in preparation.

However, Disney World officials were confident after consultation with emergency and hurricane officials that Hurricane Wilma would not cause a safety problem for resort guests or create significant damage, and the Magic Kingdom and Epcot theme parks were reopened on Monday at 3 p.m. despite having been closed earlier in the day.

The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom reopened Tuesday, as did the water parks, Downtown Disney, and Disney's Wide World of Sports.

The effect of Hurricane Wilma on Disney World was minor, with strong winds and rain reported from the resort.

Last year, the resort experienced landscaping and light structural damage following several high-impact hurricanes. The damages were quickly corrected, and most guests didn't notice anything different.
