TikTok user, Bekah Weider, commented, “No severe damage over at Caribbean Beach either. Some down foliage and a broken light or two, but otherwise ok.” A housekeeper at Yacht and Beach Club, Amber Khounsavatdy, also corroborated she did not see much damage on that property either.
Overall, Guests were all glad that the property was largely intact and that the Guests appeared to be safe and well. Many also reported being hopeful to return to the Walt Disney World Resort—the Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom and EPCOT.
As Disney Parks Live said in his caption, “Things are looking calm here in the aftermath.”
