Central Florida, Including Disney World and Universal Orlando, Under Tornado Watch

Disney's Blizzard Beach to Close for Several Days Amid Severe Weather Warnings

Central Florida, including Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort, is under a Tornado Watch, with severe weather conditions expected to peak in the late afternoon and evening.
Disney World's Blizzard Beach water park is set to close for several days starting from January 10 due to the severe weather.
Despite the severe weather warnings, no official announcements have been made about the closure of other parks at Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort.
Guests are advised to stay informed through reliable sources, familiarize themselves with the park’s emergency procedures, know the designated tornado shelter locations within the parks, establish a communication plan, follow park staff instructions, and remain calm.
Florida's subtropical climate is characterized by a long rainy season and occasional hurricanes, but Disney World is prepared for such conditions, with structures like the Cinderella Castle being hurricane-proof.
