food IS a theme park
The fall season might be here, but the Florida weather wants to say otherwise!

If you’ve got a Disney World trip planned for the weekend, you’re going to want to pack a few essential items for both rain and shine. It may be fall, but it looks like the humid heat and stormy weather are both returning to Orlando this weekend. Let’s take a look at what we know and what to expect.
With Disney World being located in Florida, the theme parks see a fair share of weather, including storms and hurricanes.
It’s hurricane season!
If you’re planning a Disney World trip between June and November, there’s a real chance you’ll have to deal with a tropical storm or even a full-on hurricane. And trust me, as someone who lives here and has done Disney during hurricane season more times than I can count, there are ways to plan smart and protect your vacation.
I’ve been going to Disney Parks my whole life. While I’m now a proud Orlando local and enjoy going to Disney World every chance I get, I grew up as a West Coast girl with Disneyland near and dear to my heart.
It’s Christmas time in Magic Kingdom!
If you’ve ever been to Disneyland or are planning a trip, you might have noticed something on the packing list you might not see for Disney World — warm clothes!. I’m begging you (BEGGING YOU) to add it to your Disney World packing list. You’re about to argue with me about how different the weather is and how hot Florida is, but let me tell you my story of a night filled with regrets, starting right on my way to Magic Kingdom.
Do you feel like it’s been hotter than normal lately? Don’t worry — it’s not just you.
A hot day in Magic Kingdom
According to CNN, a “heat wave is underway for the eastern half of the United States as a potent heat dome reaches its peak,” creating the hottest temperatures we’ve seen this year, so far.
So, when exactly does hurricane season start in Disney World?

Here’s the thing: hurricane season has a date on the calendar, but Mother Nature doesn’t really follow rules. Officially, the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th. But over the past few years, we’ve seen storms pop up earlier and earlier—sometimes even weeks before June hits. And according to early 2025 forecasts, that trend might not be slowing down anytime soon. Let’s talk about what that means if you’re planning a Disney World trip soon.
Planning a trip to Disney World? Get ready — not just for magic, but for a little bit of classic Florida chaos in the skies.

For the next two weeks, the Florida weather is throwing out a little bit of everything: warm sunshine, surprise thunderstorms, and temps creeping up into the 90s. Here’s a look at what you need to pack to stay prepared for whatever your day at the most magical place on earth may entail.

If you didn’t know, there’s an official list of storm names cycled through every six years. They’re in alphabetical order, so the year’s first storm starts with A, then the second B, and so on. Some names are retired if the storm is severe enough! While scanning the list, we noticed some familiar names; we didn’t expect to see potential hurricanes named after some of our favorite Disney characters!
EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts is one of our absolute favorite festivals every year.
Festival of the Arts!
We love how picturesque and unique the food items are, all the incredible art and entertainment that can be found all around the park, and of course, we love seeing our favorite dragon, Figment, front and center! However, we’d be lying to you if we said we weren’t worried about the festival for one very specific reason.
