Good morning from Magic Kingdom! We are back after the parks have been closed for two days due to Hurricane Ian. We will be on the lookout for any damage we can find from the hurricane. As always, we will report on all the new things we find today. Let’s get started.

We noticed that the flotillas were not out today at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. As we walked around the park, we saw trees and down branches blocking the waterways, which would prevent the flotillas from getting through.
