Hurricane Milton caused damage and destruction in Central Florida, forcing Disney World to temporarily close its parks. After the storm passed, Disney World reopened all its parks and welcomed guests once again.

The article provides a detailed look at the wait times for various attractions across the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Friday, October 11th, 2024. At the Magic Kingdom, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and TRON Lightcycle / Run had the highest wait times, reaching 75 minutes at their peak. Meanwhile, Epcot’s Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure hit a 60-minute wait, which was relatively high for an October Saturday. Disney’s Animal Kingdom saw Flight of Passage reach a staggering 130-minute wait during the park’s third opening hour, before dropping significantly for the rest of the day. At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Slinky Dog Dash peaked at a 90-minute wait twice throughout the day, which is not uncommon for a Saturday, especially as the weather gets cooler.

The article suggests that despite the impact of the hurricane, crowds at Disney World seemed to have returned to normal levels, with wait times for popular attractions remaining high throughout the day. This indicates that the parks were able to recover quickly and provide a satisfactory experience for guests visiting the resort.
