What actually happens when your dream trip collides with a storm? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it’s like to be in Disney during hurricane season - the good, the stressful, and everything about Disney World and hurricanes I wish I knew ahead of time.

Here’s what I cover:

  • The reality of being stuck in a resort during Walt Disney World hurricane closures (hint: peanut butter & jelly kits are involved).
  • How the Disney World hurricane policy actually plays out when you’ve rented DVC points.
  • What my family experienced navigating Disney World and hurricanes with three kids in tow.
  • The surprises that came with Disney during hurricane downtime - from dance parties in the lobby to sandbags on the Boardwalk.
  • Why Disney World hurricane season doesn’t mean avoiding trips, but it does mean smart prep.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to face Disney World and hurricanes head-on, or how to plan around Disney World hurricane season, this episode will give you a firsthand look.
