Hong Kong Disneyland Reopens Today After Two-Day Typhoon Closure

Operations return after Ragasa’s high-wind shutdown, with Inspiration Lake still closed for cleanup.

Overview

  • The park shut mid-afternoon on September 23 when the Hong Kong Observatory issued Typhoon Signal No. 8 and remained closed on September 24.
  • Disney evacuated guests and deployed wind-protection measures as Super Typhoon Ragasa brought sustained winds near 185 km/h and gusts above 230 km/h.
  • Hong Kong International Airport canceled more than 700 flights during the storm, creating significant disruption for travelers.
  • Inspiration Lake Recreation Centre stays closed until further notice, and weather may limit outdoor attractions during the restart.
  • Regional reports detail severe impacts including flooding, infrastructure damage, and fatalities in Taiwan, with rescue and cleanup continuing after landfall near Yangjiang in southern China.
