Disney Dining Serving up the latest Disney Eats, Treats, News, and More!
Today has been quite the day for Disney and other theme parks in the Orlando area. SeaWorld, Universal Orlando, and the Walt Disney World Resort will all be closed on Wednesday, September 28, and Thursday, September 29 due to Hurricane Ian. Ian is currently barreling towards the state after ripping through the Caribbean and Cuba with winds of more than 125 miles per hour.
In addition to Disney watching the weather surrounding its Central Florida theme parks, it is also keeping a sharp eye on the seas and its Disney Cruise Ships that are currently sailing.

Disney’s newest cruise ship, the Disney Wish, is currently on its way back to its home port of Port Canaveral, Florida, but Hurricane Ian has forced Disney to keep the ship at sea for one extra day in order to keep everyone safe. News of the delay home was shared on Twitter by Attractions Magazine, which had some of its writers on the ship.
Our @DisneyCruise Wish was supposed to return Friday. The captain just announced we won’t be returning until Saturday. Listen as the diners in Arendelle erupt in cheers when the announcement is made. #HurricaneIan
