Guests at the resorts are able to stay, but those arriving tomorrow must be checked in prior to 3 p.m. in order to shelter-in-place at the resort in which they are booked.

Also, Guests staying at Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, the Treeehouse Villas (Disney’s Saratoga Springs), Copper Creek Cabins (Disney’s Wilderness Lodge), and the Bungalows at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort all closed to guests effective tomorrow through Friday.
Still, many decided to take advantage of low crowds tonight and attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which was previously sold out. Instead in the wake of this week’s weather news, Magic Kingdom released tickets early today for this evening’s festivities.
MickeyBloggers Greg and Elyssa headed over to Magic Kingdom this evening prior to the park’s closure for the party. Stay tuned for more information from there, including strom preparation.
