Walt Disney World (in Florida) will close through the end of the month. Disneyland (in California) has closed, too, in addition to other Disney parks around the world.

Disney World will still pay its cast members during the closure. And extend ticket durations and is giving refunds to guests.

Coronavirus closes Disney as Orlando park hopes to prevent spread

I had been wondering about this as Disney Parks gather many thousands of guests every day. (Walt Disney World doesn’t release official attendance numbers. Other parks in cooler climates, like Cedar Point in Ohio, are not open this time of year.)

This is only the second time in history that Walt Disney World has closed. The first was September 11, 2001.

(My mom and step-dad just got home from a month at Walt Disney World, today.)
