Disneyland Closed Coronavirus

Today has certainly been quite an interesting one with the latest Coronavirus news plus a 10% drop in the stock market. Closures are becoming widespread across the country and it has now affected The Happiest Place on Earth.

According to Disney, the parks at Disneyland Resort will close beginning on March 14, 2020 through the end of the month. As of now Walt Disney World will remain open, but I would expect that could change at any time.

The Full Announcement

Here are the full details of their announcement.

While there have been no reported cases of COVID-19 at Disneyland Resort, after carefully reviewing the guidelines of the Governor of California’s executive order and in the best interest of our guests and employees, we are proceeding with the closure of Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, beginning the morning of March 14 through the end of the month.

 

The Hotels of Disneyland Resort will remain open until Monday, March 16 to give guests the ability to make necessary travel arrangements; Downtown Disney will remain open. We will monitor the ongoing situation and follow the advice and guidance of federal and state officials and health agencies. Disney will continue to pay cast members during this time.

 

Disneyland Resort will work with guests who wish to change or cancel their visits, and will provide refunds to those who have hotel bookings during this closure period. We anticipate heavy call volume over the next several days and appreciate guests’ patience as we work hard to respond to all inquiries.

 

My Recent Disneyland Experience

I was just at Disneyland this past weekend and it was largely business as usual. I saw very few people sanitizing and no one wearing masks. Of course things have changed quite a bit since last weekend and I am glad that Disney is taking precautions to keep guests safe despite the costs associated with this shutdown. It is also nice to see that cast members will be paid despite the parks being closed.

What do you think about this Disneyland Coronavirus shutdown? Is it an overreaction or a good move to help keep guests safe.
