After Hurricane Ian forced Disney World and Universal Orlando theme parks to be temporarily closed just over a month ago, Tropical Storm Nicole now may affect popular Orlando attractions.

Despite the storm, Orlando theme parks are still selling tickets for the rest of this week and Universal’s annual holiday celebration begins on Saturday, November 12 and continues through January 1, 2023, according to Pirates & Princesses.
