Update: A few hours after announcing that Disneyland Resort would be closing on March 14, Disney announced that the theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and the Disneyland Paris Resort in France would also both be closing due to the coronavirus. The four parks at Disney World—the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom—and the two parks at Disneyland Paris—Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park—will all be closing on Sunday, March 15, and will remain closed until April. All the hotels at both resorts will stay open, though, along with their shopping districts—Disney Springs in Florida and Disney Village in France.
Additionally, all Disney cruise line departures will be suspended as of Saturday, March 14, also lasting until the end of March.
Disneyland will be closing from March 14 through the end of the month due to COVID-19, Disney announced this afternoon. Both Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure will close starting Friday March 14, while Disneyland Resort’s three hotels will stay open until Monday, March 16, before also closing. Downtown Disney, the shopping and dining district next to the parks, will remain open.
