Disney tourists stay upbeat as Hurricane Milton approaches Florida | ABS-CBN News

Disney World tourists in Orlando remained upbeat on Wednesday (October 09) as the theme park closed early for Hurricane Milton's arrival to Florida's Gulf Coast. One tourist who did not want to be identified told Reuters she wasn't angry and that she planned to ride out the storm and 'pray for the best.' Another tourist wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt who did not want to have his face shown said he was able to go on a ride multiple times and it was 'great'. Hurricane Milton closed in on Florida on Wednesday (October 09), spawning tornados and lashing the region with rain and wind hours ahead of its expected landfall near Tampa Bay, where it could deliver a life-threatening surge of seawater to communities along the waterfront. Millions of people along a stretch of more than 300 miles (483 km) of coastline were under evacuation orders, just two weeks after Hurricane Helene cut a swath of devastation. Authorities issued increasingly dire warnings on Wednesday as landfall, expected at about midnight, drew closer. -Report from Reuters For more ABS-CBN News videos, click the link below: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgyY1WylJUmgUHWUpi2ioSp4xAP1SmAaf For more latest news and analysis from ABS-CBN News videos, click the link below: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgyY1WylJUmg4pcvfM9a96rbUcLD_0P_U For more News Digital News Raw Cuts, click the link below: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgyY1WylJUmi83yKJH8Dv0p_3D4cyZKzV Subscribe to the ABS-CBN News channel! - http://bit.ly/TheABSCBNNews Watch the full episodes of TV Patrol on iWantTFC: http://bit.ly/TVPatrol-iWantTFC Visit our website at http://news.abs-cbn.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abscbnNEWS Twitter: https://twitter.com/abscbnnews #Exclusive #LatestNews #ABSCBNNews
