Disney Confirms 2006 Hurricane Guarantees

Disney Resorts just announced its 2006 hurricane cancellation policies that apply to many Disney bookings. If the National Hurricane Center issues an official hurricane warning for the Orlando region (or your clients’ place of residence) within seven days of any scheduled arrival date, you can re-schedule or cancel the Disney package without incurring any fees. You’ll find complete details at www.disneyworld.com (click on “Tropical Weather Policy” under the heading “Plan and Prepare”).

In fact, the National Weather Service recently recognized Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort as “StormReady” communities. They’re the only theme parks in the United States that have achieved this honor (which means they have set up an emergency operations center, developed a formal hazardous weather plan, and taken other steps such as emergency exercises to protect guests in a major storm).
