Walt Disney World in Hurricane Irma - The Experience 

If I learned anything from this video its that Disney is impeccably quick at designing, printing, and installing signs

Space mountain with lights on looks depressing

floridian life hack: if a hurricane is coming, go to the theme parks my friends and i used to do it all the time

Disney: Do not go outside during the hurricane Jake: *I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that*

"All of Florida braces for what could be the worst hurricane to hit the state in decades." *Cuts to peaceful day in the Magic Kingdom*

September 2017: Irma September 2018: Florence September 2019: *Garfield*

Jake: *walks outside in a literal CAT5* Jake: wow it’s windy!

2017: 2018: 2019: RU-vid: “Hey watch this lmao.”

Disney: Do not go outside for your safety. Jake: Well that sign is not gonna stop me because I can't read.

Disney world is confirmed the safest place on earth

Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a jake walking through a 75 mile per hour storm!

*Falls asleep while outside* *Wakes up ontop of Magic Castle.*

Disney: don't go outside Jake: did you say GO OUTSIDE¿

“The worst storm to hit the state” And yet here comes Jake at Disney in the middle of a hurricane

"What could be the worst hurricane in decades" Dorian: *laughs In hurricane*

I'll always take our northern snow storms over the south's hurricanes anytime.

Irma: *goes over Disney* Mickey: y’all hear sum ?

Disney: Don't go outside it's dangerous Jake: Hold my beer

“Don’t go outside for your own safety” *Observe*

Hurricane Irma: hits Disney Hurricane Dorian: hold my wind

Worst hurricane to hit the state in decades. Floridians: Welp time to hit up Disney World!

*hurricane tortilla*

irma at the contemporary: *easy clean-up* my family, my neighbors, and others after hurricane harvey: *two 1/2 years of clean-up* huh. nEaTo

News Reporter:Irma you’re one of the strongest hurricanes how do you feel Irma:IM GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!

I used to work at Disney World during Hurricane Season. It was always an interesting experience

"For your safety, please do not go outside" *goes outside anyways* Me too

I was actually in Disney when Irma hit I was staying at the Boardwalk Villas. When the storm was over I remember looking across at Yacht and Beach club resort, and seeing a ton of trees have fallen over as well as damaging a ton of the property. BTW I remember the wait times for the major attractions were 5 minutes and sometimes walk ons which is crazy!

*"worst hurricane to hit florida in decades"* Dorian: *im bouta end this whole mans career*

*LOOK AT THE SKY!* *_ITS LIKE TRANSFORMERS EXPLODING BACK THERE!_*

I was there in Florida where he filmed this. I was on holiday from the UK for 2 weeks and my flight was cancelled due to Irma. So we stayed in the exact hotel as you outside the monorail station.

It was scary going back to school after the storm. Everyone talking about how they didn't have power, or how happy they were to see friends. My psychology teacher allowed us to use our phones, play, vent, and be kids for the first half hour of class before lunch, giving us space to breathe.

Disney:Dont go outside Him: *walks outside* I'm a bad bish u cant kill me

Disney: please do not attempt to go outside as it is very dangerous Jake: shut

It’s impressive how quickly they made those signs! Hurricane updates, falling foliage, etc.

Note to self-book Disney when a confirmed hurricane is getting ready to land.

I literally lost it when I seen that guy struggle to stroll his baby 😳✋🏽😂😂😂

Jake: 'Im gonaa CrOsS thE wAlKwAy" Me: *eye roll* northerners.

I guess you can say it wasn't a bright & sunny film?

Who’s here after hearing that Hurricane Dorian is threatening NYC?

Hurricane Irma: wow easy I can kill them all Jake: not me Jake: *goes outside *

"HOLY- *low rumbling bass noises* "

when school was open again my teacher told us to share our experiences during irma, my classmate said she found a loaded gun in her pool oof

2017: 2018: 2019: 2020:”Hey you should really watch this!”

I love how disney got cleaned up in a day and how the rest of florida took about one and a half months to clean. Yet there was soooooo many advertisements talking about how amazing the cleanup crew was.

Channel name says bright sun films *shows video of hurricane in Disney*

Hurricane Dorian is now heading towards Florida brace youselves

I found out I was pregnant a few days before this hurricane. We thought we were going to blow away. I was so scared I am extremely grateful my beautiful baby boy is ok. Stress was extremely high and I am glad I didn’t miscarry. I almost evacuated with some family friends but I decided to stay with my newly wed husband. I am glad I did. My friends got stuck running from hotel to hotel. It was bad. Hurricane weakened and It was not as bad as it looked at first. But it was a seriously scary time. No power for weeks later but we ride it out! My baby is perfectly healthy!

"Due to the arrival of Hurricane Irma please ignore all signs if you are unconcerned with your safety. Please pardon for the inconvenience this may cause."

That's why i love Disney. Safety is more important than their cash.

Imagine Spaceship Earth rolling like a golf ball

Hurricane Irma: I’m the strongest hurricane in the universe Jupiter’s red spot: hold my wind

it help that they have their own power plant makes it easier to keep the lights on when things like this happen

2017:naw 2018:not today 2019:aw yes

And now Disney has been closed for months because of Covid

This is what we feel almost every month in Japan 😭

Jake, when people said they wanted you to actually explore the places you talked about, I don’t think they meant explore Disney World during a hurricane.

I had to walk through Irma to get to my hotel room at the Art of Animation resort!! But they were super nice and opened all the arcade games for free!

9:04 that was some cool weird lightning sort of sky glowing stuff

2 years later: Wow that scene of long lines and bare shelves has become the NORM

Me: *doesn't care if there's a strong hurricane that will hit Disney I played a lot of money and I will stay at the happiest place on earth!!!*

I visited the park the first day they reopened and you really could not tell that a hurricane had hit inside the Disney properties with the exception of a small handful of downed trees. Hats off to Disney to be able to do what they do. They are definitely a well oiled machine. My heart goes out to the residents of Florida and all the areas and islands that were affected during this storm and all the others. I will be donating!

I remember watching a strong thunderstorm cell develop on the highest floor of that exact building, it was awesome

Travelling into the hurricane Me: INTO THE UNKNOWNNNNNNNNN ALSO ME: *GETS BLOWN AWAY*

when this hurricane was happening i was so curious to what was going on at Disneyworld and I saw this video in my recommended and IMMEDIATELY clicked it and to my surprise YOU filmed and put this video up! Thanks Jake!

At 8:33 that one bubble was known as *the little bubble who could* I'll go home...

I honestly never felt so anxious in my life (I live in Tampa). At first, it was targeted to hit directly under me, Sarasota. As I got to the temp shelter, it had changed course slightly and hit around Naples/Ft Myers area, so Tampa mostly got about cat 2, maybe some cat 3 gusts. Power was out for about a week. Next time, I will just drive over to the opposite end of the state.

I have 4 brothers and sisters. My family went once a year to FL Disney World for every sibling, so we I went at least 5 times total. We only stayed at the contemporary hotel once, but i remember it was during a healthy/kinda scary tropical storm a couple nights. I distinctly remember looking down from our floor at least 5 stories deep at the monorails as a lil 10 yr old being marveled at human engineering, only to hear the truly deafening onslaught of rain pelting against the exterior walls of the entire hotel structure. To this day i will get a dose of nostalgia by cupping my ears in the shower under the water stream and get taken back to the feeling of being in a large hollow concrete/steel structure holding up against a fierce storm. Good times

If there is a natural disaster, Disney may be the safest place to be

Exit Sign: flashing due to weather. Me: Will?

The cast members that stayed and continued to do their jobs are awesome 💜

One does not simply walk into a cat5 JAKE: *Walks right into a cat5*

Me sisters name is Irma and we said “why are you trying to kill us”

I was staying in a hotel in Orlando when this was happening and I saw a guy full speed BOLTING for the lobby

This one big cloud boi made Walt Disney World a happier place on earth.

*I got this randomly reccomended to me today.*

:baby flys out of the seat while crossing the bridge dad:ok honey check if the baby is ok -mom checks- mom:uhhh the baby is not there

I'm a little jealous. Not because of the hurricane, but because I'm pretty sure the Contemporary is the only hotel we haven't stayed at. :P Glad you're safe, Jake.

I would absolutely love to experience something like this, but living in the U.K. we don’t experience much extreme weather just lots of rain haha

It's not very bright and sunny. Haha get it

Irma: *I`m the strongest hurricane ever!* *>:)* Florence: *HOLD MY APPLE JUICE*

The eye of Irma went over my house too. I learned from the storm that trees are REALLY Flexible! I mean did you look outside at midnight. WOW!

Thank you so much for making this video! I know it’s been a few years since this happened. But I live in Jacksonville Florida and my girls and I were hunkered in while Irma hit and I didn’t even consider what was going on at Disney. I really enjoyed watching this and it makes me even more grateful for the work they all do there❤️👍🏼

*Up next: Dorian VS. Disneyworld*

8:08 did they do that using the power of *FLEX TAPE*

My family and I evacuated out of our neighborhood in the Tampa Bay area to Pensacola (thankfully it didn't even rain there) less than 2 days before Irma made landfall. When we got back to our home a couple of days later, there were only minor damages but we dealt with no power for 2 1/2 days. Everything is back to normal now. Glad you're safe, Jake!

I’ve been to Disney twice for a hurricanes, 1 because lines are short, and 2 because as you said, I feel incredibly safe there, and the spectacular cast members always keep the magic alive, as well as keep you safe!

Florida: takes years to recover from the damage of Irma Disney: takes one day

he makes videos of pure curiosity of people wondering of what once was , showing things we love , and just educate us

Thanks! I was hoping someone would put up a video like this! Good work.

I loved Disney World when I went as a kid. Have never been back. I can still remember the unique smell of the Contemporary.

My wife and I were there right along with you during Irma. We were staying at The Port Orleans Riverside Resort. I see you were at the Magic Kingdom the day before. We were at Epcot. We went into the Magic Kingdom when it reopened. We were then on the second airplane cleared for departure from Orlando Airport.

Hurricane Irma: *exists* Bright Sun Films: *am i a joke to you?*

I was at Disney world too it was the best time I had because the lines had a maximum 30 min wait it was great

there is something about this video that makes me never get old of this video

Irma: Are you ready to be destroyed? Disney World: Disney World: No, but thank you for asking.

I'm glad you put this out there. Love that you added places to give!

Cool footage, I was in Disney World during the 2004 hurricane.

I was there during Irma and it was the best experience as far as we were concerned. We felt very safe. A lot of tourists left and they brought in locals and their pets! It was great!! And the cast members made me love them even more!!

Me a Floridian who had to go through that at home: * Sips tea * "I can just smell this video."

this almost feels like a video from the future if the contemporary was left abandoned. super cool! great video!
