Hurricane Ian hit Walt Disney World Resort and the rest of Central Florida on Wednesday after a devastating landfall in Fort Myers, Naples, and other coastal cities. The hurricane has damaged thousands of properties, homes, businesses, and parks in the area, one mile per hour short of Category Five winds.

Walt Disney World specifically has taken many precautions in anticipation of Hurricane Ian, closing down the tire Resort, hotels, and other experiences.
