Tampa Bay and Orlando are two of the largest tourist cities in the state. I’m curious to see what the honorable representatives from Disney and Universal Studios are going to say in the aftermath of this thing.
Disneyland is in California, Disneyworld is in Florida.

Id wager the park would be mostly fine, Its in the center of the panhandlelong part that extends off the continent which should be the thing we call the pandhandle so the hurricane has to cover alot of ground to cover before it reaches it in force. Most likely looking at alot of damage to window and facades, with some flooding damage.

TIL: the panhandle in the term Florida Panhandle refers to the bit in red and not the bit in white. I will take no responsibility for this error and argue that the term is worded horribly. Its clear as day to me that this white bit is the handle of the us, hanging off its end like a dong…
I don’t think “panhandle” has a strict definition but it tends to mean a bit of a state that sticks out into what rightfully should be another state. Oklahoma’s panhandle is the most obvious example of one. West Virginia has two. Florida’s panhandle is the part that should be Alabama’s coastline.

I would laugh my ass off if Disney World (or Disney Land or whatever it’s called, I’m not American) got destroyed.
If Disney is destroyed, the federal government will earmark a billion dollars to rebuild it.
Tear down this Magic Kingdom and Walt’s Ghost (plus an enormous traunch of taxpayer money) will see it rebuilt in three days.

Disney World is in the center if the Penninsula, not the panhandle. it’s in Orlando not Tallahassee.
