Im hoping to be there oct 30th...have 1 night booked and a dinner reservation since April...

Just in time for Fantasy Fest.

Days after Hurricane Irma made landfall in Florida and left 15 million people without power, the state is beginning to grapple with its long-term effects. Earlier this week, county officials in the Florida Keys announced that the chain of islands would be closed to tourists "until further notice." Though the wind has stopped, there is no fuel, electricity, running water, or cell service. The Key West tourism website encourages visitors to postpone their trips until infrastructure assessments, such as inspections of bridges, is complete.

But a new report today from Travel Weekly has hopeful news: Key West has set a target date of October 20 to reopen to visitors. It coincides with the start of Fantasy Fest, a pre-Halloween bonanza of costume parties, parades, and balls�one of its biggest events of the year.
