Hey there! So, we’ve got some news from Magic Kingdom just in time for Hurricane Helene, which is expected to arrive in Florida soon.
What’s Up with the City Hall Restrooms?
Just a few days ago, the scrim, which is that fabric used to cover construction areas, was put up around the City Hall Restrooms in Magic Kingdom. Think of it like a big curtain that hides what’s going on behind it. It was set up between the men’s and women’s restrooms, creating a bit of a wall while they worked on the building.
Now, just a day before the hurricane, Disney decided to take some of that scrim down. They removed it from the top of the building but left some around the sides, where the restrooms are. This is all happening while they prepare for some strong winds and rain.
Why Remove the Scrims?
Why would they remove the scrim right before a hurricane? Well, it’s sort of like opening a window in a storm! By taking that scrim down, they help prevent air and debris from getting trapped against the building, which could cause more damage. It’s a smart move to keep things safe and stable.
Disney is always looking out for their guests, and getting rid of that scrim is just one of the ways they’re doing that before the winds hit. It’s kind of like cleaning up your yard before a big storm, so nothing gets blown around too much.
Updates on Disney’s Preparations
Speaking of the storm, Disney has already announced they will close Typhoon Lagoon, the water park, because of Hurricane Helene. Some tours and mini-golf games are canceled too, just to keep everyone safe.
And here’s the bummer: they’ve also had to cancel Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party planned for tomorrow night, September 26, 2024. That’s definitely a disappointment for those who were looking forward to it!
