It’s been an unnerving few days for Florida residents. Once Tropical Storm Ian has turned into Hurricane Ian and is threatening to hit Florida’s west coast as a potential Category 4 hurricane. Walt Disney World Resort isn’t waiting to begin its list of cancellations.

As shown in the latest video option below, one model shows Hurricane Ian making landfall near Tampa, Florida, late Wednesday (September 28, 2022) evening into early Thursday morning (September 29, 2022). The hurricane then heads north through the Sunshine State, showing an impact on the Central Florida area, which Walt Disney World Resort calls home:
