Photos spread online were meant to show Disney World and Cinderella’s Castle underwater after Hurricane Milton.
Disney World closed several of its theme parks and Disney Springs this week as Hurricane Milton hurtled toward Florida’s coast.
In an update posted to its website Thursday morning, Disney World announced adjustments to its operations, including temporary closures of attractions and entire parks. The update confirmed that the Walt Disney World theme parks, water parks, recreation offerings, and Disney Springs are now closed through Thursday, October 10.
After Milton made landfall on Wednesday evening, photos spread online that appeared to show that the park had been flooded, with Cinderella’s Castle underwater.
