It is essential to mention that theme park officials could update this information anytime, depending on the weather conditions in the area. Inside the Magic will keep you updated on any changes to Universal Orlando Resort’s operations.
Earlier today, Inside the Magic, reported on the different closures that would take place at Walt Disney World Resort in the wake of the coming storm. However, the Orlando theme park later walked back on those closures, only shutting Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park and multiple miniature golf courses instead.
On the other hand, the Orlando international airport recently announced a complete cease on all its operations starting tomorrow, Wednesday, November 9, at 4 pm until circumstances permit operations to resume. Airport officials stated they would continue to monitor Tropical Storm Nicole to determine the potential impact at MCO. You can read more about this story by clicking here.
Should weather conditions worsen in the area, Universal would surely enforce its severe weather policy, which reads:
