Walt Disney World’s theme parks will reopen Friday, it announced on its website, after the popular theme parks closed Wednesday afternoon and Thursday as central Florida was hit by Hurricane Milton.

All of Walt Disney World’s four theme parks and the Disney Springs shopping area will reopen Friday, Disney said on the resort’s website, along with “possibly other areas.”

Disney announced Tuesday its theme parks and Disney Springs would close Wednesday afternoon ahead of Milton making landfall, with the parks remaining closed on Thursday after the storm passed through the area Wednesday night and early Thursday morning.

The resort also closed its water park Typhoon Lagoon and miniature golf courses, and has not announced yet when those will reopen.

While Disney kept its hotels largely open to guests during the storm, it did close its Fort Wilderness campground and villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Saratoga Springs resorts, with Disney saying on its website Thursday those areas are likely to remain closed until Sunday.

Disney has not yet responded to a request for comment on whether the resort suffered any damage during Hurricane Milton.

$150 to $200 million. That’s how much Hurricane Milton and the resulting closures could cost Disney’s parks division this quarter, Goldman Sachs projected on Tuesday before the storm made landfall. That would surpass the $100 million toll that Disney reported Hurricane Irma took on the company in 2017, when the parks were closed for two days.
