(WHDH) — Disney World closed ahead of Hurricane Irma for just the sixth time in nearly 50 years, leaving one Massachusetts family stranded at the resort.
Whipping winds, torrential rain and strong storm surge forced Steven Noonan, of East Bridgewater, and his family to hunker down at the theme park as Irma powered through the area.
Noonan said Disney “was the best place to be stuck” and that the park was very accommodating.
The park is slated to open for business again on Tuesday.
