Disney World in Orlando is grappling with an unexpected challenge—an influx of mosquitoes. The popular theme park has been forced to ramp up pest control measures to ensure guests can enjoy their magical experience without unwanted bites.
Why Are Mosquitoes a Problem Now?
Florida’s humid climate makes it a breeding ground for mosquitoes, especially during the warmer months. Recent heavy rainfall has exacerbated the issue, leading to a surge in mosquito activity around the park.
What Disney Is Doing About It
Park officials have intensified mosquito control efforts, including:
- Regular spraying of insecticides
- Removing standing water where mosquitoes breed
- Increasing monitoring of high-traffic areas
Disney is also advising visitors to use insect repellent and wear long sleeves during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
How This Could Affect Your Trip
While the park is taking precautions, guests should be prepared for potential disruptions. Some outdoor attractions or events may be adjusted if mosquito activity becomes too severe.
Experts recommend packing EPA-approved repellents and checking for updates from Disney before your visit.
