Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, Legoland, Peppa Pig Theme Park, and Gatorland are all open.

Disney's Typhoon Lagoon, Winter Summerland Miniature Golf and Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf will be closed Wednesday. Legoland Water Park is also closing Wednesday.

Guests at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds have been asked to secure trailers and other outdoor camping items.

Legoland and Peppa Pig Theme Parks say park operations may be limited due to inclement weather.
