A Tropical Storm is Headed for Disney World

A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for the Disney World area. There is even the potential for a hurricane. Here is what you need to know if you have plans for Disney this week.

Hurricane Season

Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. That’s half the year! Typically, the bulk of hurricanes hit during the months of August, September, and October. September is considered peak hurricane season in Florida.

For travelers headed to Disney World during this time of year, it is important to be prepared and stay aware of weather conditions. This includes packing extra items like battery chargers, medications, and baby supplies. It may also be wise to turn on all weather alerts and keep a close eye on severe weather patterns right before and during your vacation.

Residents and Guests in the Disney World area should prepare for the storm conditions later this week. By Thursday, wind gusts of 50-60 mph and possible floods are expected.

There is even the possibility of tornadoes, but thankfully, Disney World is not expected to be in the the path of a possible hurricane.
