As we all know, Disney fandom certainly isn’t confined to places like Disney World and Disneyland. From bakeries to grocery stores across the country, the Disney love is EVERYWHERE.

Now it appears even the National Hurricane Center is embracing its inner Disney Princess, based on the names its chosen for the upcoming 2021 Atlantic hurricane season.
Each year, the Atlantic hurricane season starts June 1, an annual affair ALL too familiar for folks in Disney World… .
Hurricane Over Adventureland
Perhaps that’s why the National Hurricane Center seems to be drawing inspiration from Disney and Marvel for some of its 2021 hurricane names!

Specifically, we’d venture to guess their favorite movie is Frozen, because two of the hurricane names are Ana and Elsa! Granted, Ana isn’t spelled like it is in the movie, but it’s close enough!
Frozen Ever After
Further down the list, rounding out the season, is the very-hot-right-now name, Wanda! Perhaps you’ve heard the name lately? Or ridden a WandaVision bus?

Elsewhere on the list, we’re just going to go ahead and assume Hurricane Peter is an homage to Peter Pan, and Hurricane Rose is a nod to Sleeping Beauty’s alias, Briar Rose.

With so much Disney influence on this year’s hurricane list, we’re hoping it’s a sign that it’ll be a…gentler season?!

NHC doesn’t actually pick the names for the storms. That’s done by a World Meteorological Organization Committee, but the US plays a prominent role. I suspect there might be a few Disney fans sitting on the commmittee.
And… those names are planned years in advance and they’re recycled until there is a particular storm (think, Harvey, Katrina or Maria) that caused significant damage and death, and was removed from the pool. Those names will never be used again.
Thank you, Gerry. I’ve shared this info with the editors.
