Hurricanes and Your Disney Vacation

In addition, to being a Disney fan, I also like to track hurricanes in the summer months.  As the calendar moves from July to August, hurricane season starts to pick up steam.  Many people are only able to travel to Disney during school breaks and other similar periods.  The final weeks of summer vacation also coincide with the beginnings of the peak of hurricane.  Today, I’m going to talk a little about hurricanes in general, Disney’s hurricane policy, and where you can go if you want to track these storms yourself.

Hurricane season lasts from June 1 to November 30.  However, the season doesn’t really get started until August 1 when it starts to build to its peak in early September and then slowing down in mid October.  An important to note about this graphic, this graphic includes all hurricanes and tropical storms that form not storms that only hit land.  Not every storm hits land.  Some storms “harmlessly” churn away in the Atlantic and become “fish storms.”
