What Central Florida Disney Park Guests Need to Know
Guests visiting Walt Disney World Resort on Thursday shouldn’t expect any delays following the morning’s law enforcement response. Operations continue at Disney Springs, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, and at the four Central Florida theme parks: Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
In general, Disney Park guests who encounter a law enforcement or security response during their vacation should follow any instructions from police officers or cast members. Walt Disney World Resort does its best to minimize the impacts of criminal and emergency responses on its property, both for the enjoyment of other guests and the privacy of those involved.
