ORLANDO, Fla. – Following Hurricane Milton, parks across Central Florida are set to reopen starting Friday, with minimal damage reported in the busy tourist areas along Interstate 4.Milton made landfall on Wednesday south of Tampa, near Sarasota, as a Category 3 hurricane, but its wrath was felt across the Sunshine State.Doppler radar estimated more than 5″ of rain fell, and hurricane-force wind gusts caused extensive power outages around Orlando and nearby communities.The hurricane took less than 12 hours to cross the state, leaving behind breezy but drier conditions for crews to immediately begin the restoration process.In anticipation of the extreme weather, theme parks closed to give staff and visitors ample time to prepare for the storm – a rare move that underscored the severity of the threat.With sunnier skies in place, tourists are anxiously awaiting operations to return to normal – a wait that will soon end at some of the world’s most popular theme parks.DEATH TOLL FROM HURRICANE MILTON RISES AS FLORIDA PICKS UP THE PIECES FROM STORM’S DESTRUCTIONThe Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, the Animal Kingdom and Disney Springs are set to reopen for regular operations on Friday.”We’re grateful Walt Disney World Resort weathered the storm.
