We just saw Hurricane Hilary hit Disneyland in California last week, and now Tropical Storm Idalia is expected to affect Disney World this week. Just a few days ago Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared a State of Emergency.

This week will no doubt be a rainy week for guests visiting Florida and Walt Disney World. Prepare with ponchos or rain gear, stroller covers, and a flexible plan during the wetter seasons. This is especially true during the summer and hurricane season.

Idalia is not a hurricane yet, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have time to become one before hitting Florida. A hurricane watch has just been issued for Florida – from Tampa to the panhandle on the west coast.

Right now, Tropical Storm Idalia is moving northeast but is not expected to make landfall in Florida until late Tuesday/early Wednesday.
