The Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, is truly an incredible place to visit. Whether you’re celebrating a marriage, anniversary, or birthday or just simply enjoying a family vacation, there’s no better place to go than “The Most Magical Place on Earth.”

Unfortunately, one thing that’s impossible to enjoy is Florida’s often-brutal weather.

Earlier this year, the Walt Disney World Resort was hit with some harsh storms, with all four theme parks experiencing some intense flooding. In 2022, the entire Orlando Resort area and Florida as a whole was left devastated by Hurricane Ian. During the natural disaster, Inside the Magic reported on several attractions being evacuated. One Park was even damaged by the inclement weather.
Places like the Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld, and LEGOLAND were also affected, with multiple rides and attractions facing serious damage.
You can see the sheer quantity of rainfall in a recent photo snapped by none other than bioreconstruct, who shared their findings on Twitter:

These harsh storms have left Disney World locations damaged in the past.
As we said, whenever Guests visit “The Most Magical Place on Earth,” it’s crucial that they prepare for Florida’s intense weather conditions. This means preparing for high temperatures as well as exceptionally-high humidity.
