A Red Flag Warning is now issued for East Central Florida including Volusia, Lake, Seminole, Orange, Osceola, and Brevard. This affects both Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Florida.

This warning begins at 1:00 a.m. and ends at 7:00 p.m. today, April 11, 2025. The above-mentioned counties are predicted to experience wind speeds of 10 to 15 mph.

This warning is simply to avoid the risk of a fire starting due to the current conditions of the winds, dry conditions, and rapidly drying fuels present.

How this may affect guests

Walt Disney World guests encountered similar warnings in March of this year. Everyone in these counties should avoid open flames or sparks as a burn ban is now in effect. This will significantly affect guests at Fort Wilderness with both campfires and grilling.

A Red Flag Warning is in place at Walt Disney World from 1:00 pm-7:00 pm today.

This may also affect nighttime campfire activities at your Walt Disney World Resort and even nighttime entertainment. Higher wind gusts are expected this evening reaching 15-25mph. At times portions of Fantasyland are closed due to high wind for Happily Ever After.
