Dorian closes DisneyWorld, Legoland and other Florida tourist sites

Hurricane Dorian shut down tourism destinations across Florida, where Walt Disney World theme parks are battening down the hatches ahead of anticipated strong winds and heavy rains.

The storm prompted Orlando International Airport to cease operations early Tuesday, with the airport also urging travelers to find lodging elsewhere, saying it is "not a shelter."

Tropical storm conditions were forecast for Tuesday night and Wednesday in Orange County, Florida, where Disney, Universal, SeaWorld and reside.

Hurricane Dorian is no longer expected to make a direct hit in Florida, but the killer storm is still slamming tourism spending and travel in the Sunshine State.

Walt Disney World theme parks in Florida are closing Tuesday afternoon ahead of forecasted strong winds and heavy rain from the edges of Dorian. The approaching storm also prompted Orlando International Airport to halt operations as of 2 a.m. Tuesday.
