Theme Parks & Attractions Reopening on October 8, 2016

Hurricane Matthew has finally moved north, leaving the Central Florida area.
While the storm has definitely caused extensive damage along the coast, the area surrounding the theme parks has not been impacted as much. For this reason, all Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, Disney Springs, ESPN Wide World of Sports, water parks, mini golf courses, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld Parks, and LEGOLAND Florida will resume normal operations on October 8.

Opening times are being adjusted for some parks on Saturday, including the following:

• Epcot: 8 a.m.-10 p.m. (the park was originally scheduled to open at 9 a.m.);
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios: 8 a.m.-8 p.m. (the park was originally scheduled to open at 9 a.m.);
