Hurricane Idalia is taking Florida theme park visitors for a ride.
Florida’s major theme parks have closed some attractions and modified schedules to prepare for the storm — which barreled toward the state’s Big Bend region as a Category 3 monster early Wednesday.
Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios will be open on Wednesday, but the Typhoon Lagoon water park, Winter Summerland Miniature Golf, and Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf will be shuttered.
“We are closely monitoring the path of the projected weather as we continue to prioritize the safety of our Guests and Cast Members,” the resort announced.
Universal Orlando Resort will also be open Wednesday but its early park admission will not be offered, so all its gates will open at 9 a.m.
“We will not offer our usual Early Park Admission benefit for on-site hotel guests, select Annual Passholders, and other select travel trade clients on this day while our teams prepare the parks for opening after the storm,” the park said in a statement.
