Disney World remains closed after Hurricane Milton

Disney World and other Orlando area theme parks remained closed Thursday after Hurricane Milton slicked through Florida, but they might reopen Friday.

Milton made landfall Wednesday night near Siesta Key, Florida, as a Category 3 hurricane, hours after Disney World, Universal Orlando, and major theme parks shuttered their doors in the afternoon.

Disney and other Orlando area theme parks said they are assessing Milton's impacts at their properties and whether they can reopen Friday.

Milton came less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category 4 storm in Florida's Big Bend region. More than 230 people have died due to Helene, according to the Associated Press.

Here is the latest status on which theme parks are open, closed or impacted by this latest storm.
