🌦️🌀 Orlando’s peak hurricane season runs from June through November, with September often being the most active month. While theme parks are well-prepared and rarely close for long, families should plan ahead to stay safe and flexible.

🏨 Choose Flexible Reservations
Most Orlando hotels and theme parks offer flexible cancellation or rescheduling policies during severe weather. Disney and Universal both allow ticket changes if a hurricane warning is in effect.
🧳 Pack Smart
Include ponchos, extra shoes, portable chargers, and snacks in your day bag. Power outages and heavy rain can cause delays.
🎢 Theme Park Policies
- Disney World: Hurricane Policy allows rescheduling for guests with certain reservations.
- Universal Orlando: Offers similar flexibility and storm readiness plans.
📌 Planning Tip: Even during stormy weeks, mornings and evenings can be clear. Plan outdoor attractions for earlier in the day and keep indoor shows as a backup.
Final Thought: Don’t let hurricane season scare you away—just prepare, stay flexible, and Orlando can still deliver magical memories.
