Theme parks across Florida shut down for a couple of days due to Hurricane Ian. Now that the threat has passed and the weather is calming down, these parks are starting to reopen.
Disney World began a phased reopening today, with most parks opening later in the day than usual. Now, we know when Universal Orlando will reopen.
Universal Orlando announced that Halloween Horror Nights will reopen starting on Friday, September 30th, with the event beginning at 5PM for all guests with existing tickets. Volcano Bay reopened to guests today.
The Universal Orlando theme parks will reopen tomorrow, October 1st, to all guests. Also, beginning tomorrow, Halloween Horror Nights will reopen to all guests.
