Florida Weather Warnings
One of the most important things to remember when planning your Walt Disney World trip is ensuring every member of your traveling party is happy and healthy.
There are many things to consider when planning your trip to Walt Disney World. From rainstorms to hurricane planning, Florida weather can put a few wrinkles even in the best-laid travel plans.
With a park located in Central Florida, Walt Disney World tries to update guests on weather advisories as quickly as possible.
Red Flag Warning
Earlier this morning, February 6th, Walt Disney World was under a Cold Weather Advisory. This effectively closed Disney's Typhoon Lagoon for the day.
On top of this weather advisory, the National Weather Service has issued a "Red Flag Warning" (Fire Weather Watch) for East Central Florida, including: Volusia, Lake, Seminole, Orange, and Osceola counties.
This affects both Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Florida. According to the National Weather Service, these conditions are due to low humidity along with strong winds.
Be Prepared
Everyone in these counties should avoid open flames or sparks; this will affect guests at Fort Wilderness with both campfires and grilling. Also, be advised to keep vehicles off dry grass and properly discard cigarettes.
A Fire Weather Watch is now issued for East Central Florida and will be lifted 7:00 pm on February 7, 2026.
At this time, operational changes have not been issued by Walt Disney World. All nighttime entertainment is still listed, but be advised that this could change throughout the day.
