It comes with being located in Central Florida, but we regularly see storms or rain pop up, along with some serious heat. And, right now, a big storm is impacting Disney World. Here’s what you need to know.
A Flood Advisory has been issued for Orange, Seminole, and Volusia counties in Florida due to storms, according to WKMG. As of this writing, it will last until 6:30PM. Walt Disney World is mostly located in Orange County.

If you’re in the parks right now, it’s important to seek shelter if you need to and listen to the directions of Cast Members. Flooding CAN happen inside the parks, and we have seen it before. There is also frequent lightning happening with this storm.
