Due to Hurricane Matthew, Walt Disney World is evacuating its Fort Wilderness campground by 11:00am Thursday, October 6. They are relocating guests to other resorts when possible, but are “encouraging those who are able to leave the area to do so,” with a spokeswoman saying it makes more sense for people to leave property with their RVs than to risk damage to their vehicles. كيف تربح مراهنات كرة القدم

Disney and Universal have not yet announced if their theme parks will close. SeaWorld will close at 2:00pm on Thursday and will remain closed Friday. سباق حصان

Leah grew up in a little farming town in Illinois, right on the Mississippi River. Her Chicago-born husband, David, left the city for her, and they're now raising their three children (Jacob, Jonah and Lydia) just 12 miles from her hometown. As the Senior Editor of the DIS (wdwinfo.com), Leah spends a lot of time writing about, reading about, and discussing Disney. So, it should come as no surprise that one of her family's favorite ways to spend time is going to Walt Disney World and traveling on Disney Cruise Line. She also enjoys shopping, watching movies with her husband and doing crafts with and for her kids.
