Astounding images of Disney World reveal damage from Hurricane Irma

Updated

Guests returning to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida have been sharing images of the parks, showing some of the damage caused by Hurricane Irma.

"The most magical place on earth" closed its gates to visitors for two days as the powerful storm passed. Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Animal Kingdom closed on Sunday and officially reopened on Tuesday morning.

The latest closing marked just the sixth time that Disney World has closed its doors in its 45 years of operation. The parks were last closed in 2016 for Hurricane Matthew.

While the parks survived the Category 4 storm with just minor damage, some visitors have tweeted photos of downed trees and flooding.
