Disney World Getting Back to Normal After Hurricane Matthew

Luckily, the storm did not cause any damage to the Disney World property. That means Disney can resume normal operating hours, like they planned, for tomorrow.

So here is the info for the different areas on property and their operating schedule starting tomorrow, October 8:

• All four theme parks are scheduled to reopen at 8 a.m.
• Animal Kingdom will have Extra Magic Hours starting at 7 a.m.
• The World Showcase in EPCOT will open at 11 a.m. with Frozen Ever After opening at 8 a.m.
• Both water parks will resume normal operating hours.
• Disney Springs will resume normal operating hours. A couple of notes for Disney Springs:
  • It partially reopened this evening at 5 p.m.
  • Characters in Flight will remain closed through Sunday October 9.
• Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is still canceled for tonight. To rebook or get a refund, call 407-939-7818 beginning on Monday October 10 at 9 a.m.
• The mini golf courses will return to normal operating hours.
• ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex will return to normal operating hours.
• Anything that was canceled before the storm, like tonight’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, will remain canceled.

Visit Disney’s website for more info.

We are so glad that Disney World did not get hit as hard as we thought they were going to. We’re also still thinking about those that were not as lucky and remained in Matthew’s path.

If there are further updates released, we will make sure to let you know.

Thanks for reading!

I love all things Disney, but my main love is for Disney World and I'm always planning for the next trip. Before becoming a Disney blogger, I was a radio DJ, so I guess I'm just continuing in the communication industry, just in a different form. I love talking Disney and I could talk about Disney all day. That's why I started blogging and created the Facebook group. The Disney community is full of friendly, helpful, and happy people...and I love being a part of it! If there is any Disney subject you would like to see covered just let me know! Need help planning your Disney vacation. Feel free to contact myself or Melissa at Never Stop Dreaming Travel Co. We love helping people plan their trips! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!
