If you haven't canceled or adjusted your theme parks plans already for this week, it's already been done.
Ahead of Hurricane Milton's landfall, all of Florida's major theme parks have closed for the next few days to prepare for the storm and to keep guests and employees safe.
As of Wednesday, Oct. 9, Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall along Florida's Gulf Coast, possibly just south of the mouth of Tampa Bay. The path will fluctuate and has a margin of error at 24 hours of about 40 miles, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said.
Landfall is expected to happen anywhere from late Wednesday night to early Thursday morning. Hurricane Milton is expected to hit either as Category 3 or a Category 4 storm.
