Current Travel Advisories Active for Disney Locations

It should be noted that although the following locations are home to one or more Disney theme parks, these travel advisories in place are not specific to the Disney Parks located around the globe and are instead related to Disney’s other vacation destinations, like Adventures by Disney, Disney Hotels, and the National Geographic Expeditions by Disney.

With that out of the way, the U.S. State Department issues travel advisories to provide information about the safety and security conditions in countries worldwide. These advisories help U.S. citizens make informed decisions about traveling abroad.

The advisories range from Level 1 (Exercise Normal Precautions) to Level 4 (Do Not Travel), with each level indicating the perceived risk level for travelers. Factors that may influence the issuance of a travel advisory include crime rates, civil unrest, natural disasters, terrorism threats, and health concerns.

Additionally, the State Department may issue specific advisories for regions within a country if there are localized risks. Travelers are encouraged to review these advisories before planning their trips and take appropriate precautions to ensure their safety abroad. Let’s see which Disney locations have advisories.
