Burn Ban Cancels Campfires at Walt Disney World Resorts

Orange County has announced a burn ban effective April 13, 2017. Extremely dry conditions in Central Florida have led to this state of emergency for the area, including the Walt Disney World Resorts.

Fire Pits will not be lit during the Orange County burn ban.

To comply with the fire restrictions, hotels at Walt Disney World have suspended campfire activities.

The outdoor fire restriction extends to all open flames including charcoal and wood grills, tiki torches (sorry Polynesian Village!), and personal fire pits and grills at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. Note that personal propane grills are still allowed at campsites for cooking needs.

Tiki Torches will not be lit during the burn ban at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
