Hurricane Matthew is forecasted to hit Florida on Thursday night, which has prompted Walt Disney World to announce news [1] of its temporary closing. Its theme parks, Disney Springs, miniature golf courses, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, and Water Parks will be shutting down at 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6, through Friday, Oct. 7.
