Travel in Florida

Karen | travel | Tuesday, 19 August 2008

My friends are so glad they went to Disney World 3 weeks ago and didn’t wait until now to go. I don’t know what the terms and conditions are on tickets purchased when a hurricane is on the way. Do you lose the money you invested?

Hurricane season begins on June 1 and lasts until November 30 each year, right in the center of one of the most popular travel seasons for families planning a vacation to Orlando.

Many attractions are closed today (Tuesday, August 19):

* Busch Gardens and Adventure Island in Tampa
* Kennedy Space Center and Visitor Complex
* Miami Seaquarium
* Miami Art Museum
* Historical Museum of Southern Florida in Miami
* Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami
* Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale
* Dry Tortugas National Park
* Everglades National Park
* Biscayne National Park

Beginning early this morning, visitors to the Florida Keys were asked to evacuate the islands. Shelters for residents will begin opening at 7:00 p.m. this evening.

Residents and visitors should continue to monitor local news for additional storm information and closings.
