Some cast members even joined the chat. One added, "I was there at MK this morning still spreading some magic, hope everyone stays safe." Others wanted to know how serious the storm was to see if it would affect their vacation. One user wrote, "Let me know how it is in the morning, we are supposed to be there Friday."

It seems like even a storm as serious as Hurricane Milton can't stop the Disney World magic. Guests hunkered down in their rooms determined to enjoy their vacations. While others anxiously awaited, hoping to begin theirs soon. Unilad shared some of Disney's memos to guests.

They told guests that stayed during the storm to "Prepare to shelter indoors in your room or building beginning at 8:30 PM, as the storm is expected to intensify." Furthermore, Disney World announced that the theme parks would be closed through Thursday October 10.

While their top priority is keeping everyone safe, the park will be taking a hit, both physically and financially from this storm. The closures from Hurricane Milton are expected to cost Disney World between "$150 million and $200 million this quarter."
