Walt Disney World guests have been sharing photos of the damage Hurricane Irma did to the Florida resorts.

The Orlando theme and water parks closed its doors early on Saturday, and remained shuttered for two days before reopening on Tuesday morning. A Disney spokesperson said in a statement that the water parks will remain closed until later this week. Some guests who braved the storm at Disney World resorts have been sharing updates, including photos of cast members who kept them entertained with character visits, board games and dance parties. The behind the scenes look shows park employees getting ready for guests in the lead up to the storm - as well as some fan favourites like Donald Duck and Pluto lending a hand. https://twitter.com/Blog_Mickey/status/906975968119726085 https://twitter.com/Blog_Mickey/status/906619662145871873 https://twitter.com/park_trip/status/906941865345372165 https://twitter.com/park_trip/status/906960463681998849 https://twitter.com/CafeFantasia/status/906956674379939840 But recent social media updates from guests at the resorts are now showing damage done to the beloved park https://twitter.com/Blog_Mickey/status/907221996920025088 https://twitter.com/CafeFantasia/status/907245901839773696 https://twitter.com/Blog_Mickey/status/907238322896080900 https://twitter.com/ChrisGreenPics/status/907308459531673601?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Ftime.com%2F4937286%2Fdisney-world-orlando-hurricane-irma-photos%2F https://twitter.com/FiBelleFi/status/907600452832956417 It's the sixth time Disney World has been forced to shut down in its 45 year history - but the second time in less than a year.
