Following Hurricane Irma, Disney World in Florida has been left looking like a post-apocalyptic movie set. A spokesman said theme park would reopen soon, saying: “While we experienced high winds and rain, we maintained power throughout the storm.”
Some guests who braved the storm at Disney World resorts have shared some pictures showing damage done to the beloved park.
