Guests Were Forced to Evacuate This Disney World Resort Hotel In the Middle of the Night

Walt Disney World Resort is known as the Most Magical Place on Earth, and while you’re visiting, the Walt Disney Company truly does everything possible to make your stay as magical as possible. The company wants the Disney Parks and Resort hotels to be so immersive that Guests can leave behind any troubles of the real world and focus solely on the fun.

However, some things are simply out of anyone’s control and are bound to happen, such as an emergency evacuation.

Unfortunately, while it is incredibly rare that a Walt Disney World Resort hotel would require its Guests to evacuate, it’s not impossible. As storms such as Hurricane Ian, Hurricane Irma, and Tropical Storm Nicole rampage through Central Florida, for example, some Walt Disney World Resort operations are interrupted, cut short, or canceled altogether, resulting in emergency measures being taken.

But this was no hurricane or tropical storm, meaning there was no storm surge or evacuation order.
