Lightning hit the Walt Disney World Resort in a major way.
Walt Disney World is notorious for its wide collection of thrilling attractions and classic rides. From Magic Kingdom and EPCOT to Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, there’s no shortage of fantastic attractions for Guests to experience.
Whether you’re riding Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom or Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom, there’s no shortage of fun experiences waiting for you around every corner.
However, being located in Orlando, Florida, means Guests will face some absolutely brutal weather while visiting “The Most Magical Place on Earth.”
If you’re planning on spending a week or two at Walt Disney World, be prepared for some harsh heat and humidity during your trip. The summer months are of course, even worse, with temperatures reaching above 95 almost every day.
However, it’s not always bright and sunny at Disney World, with storms overtaking the Resort this weekend.
During these storms, lightning struck the Resort multiple times, with Guest sharing photos and videos of the amazing sight online:

Thankfully, nothing was reportedly damaged during these strikes, with Walt Disney World being well-equipped to handle lightning storms. It also did not appear to rain, something the Walt Disney World Resort sees quite often.
Guests will spot hundreds of lightning rods on top of buildings, rides, attractions, and restaurants at Walt Disney World for this very reason.
