Disney has been working with SpaceX for the past 7 years on developing new technologies to defend against hurricanes that may impact the Disney World Resort in Orlando. The resort plans to use magnetic coils to "break up the storm and lessen its impact".  If the defense system is successful, Disney and SpaceX will likely sell the technology to other hurricane-prone businesses.

I have proved this claim to be false and shared for satirical, entertainment purposes. After I clicked the link to the website I went to the 'About' column on their page to find that...

"Mouse Trap News is the world's best satire and parody site. We write fake stories about Disney parks stuff.... you can be assured that anything you read her is not true, real, or accurate, but it is fun."

Mouse Trap News is not a a reliable source and the story is not true.
