Nicole is once again a tropical storm after making landfall in Florida overnight as a Category 1 Hurricane. While Tropical Storm Nicole continues to move North, Walt Disney World Resort is reopening its theme parks, hotels, and also Disney Springs. At the hotels, different restaurants are opening at different times. What would normally be character dining experiences today are just normal experiences as Disney modifies the experiences to accommodate more guests that weren’t able to go straight to the parks this morning.
As Walt Disney World goes through the process of a phased reopening, it has revealed all of the opening times that it currently has. Below is a look at all of the updates that Walt Disney World shared as of this morning.
