Disneyland closes because of the coronavirus outbreak
CNNNew York CNN Business — Disney is closing Disneyland and California Adventure, its theme parks in Anaheim, California, because of the coronavirus outbreak. “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, beginning the morning of March 14 through the end of the month,” a spokesperson for Disneyland Resort said in a statement. Though the park will close Saturday, hotels at Disneyland Resort will remain open until Monday, March 16, “to give guests the ability to make necessary travel arrangements,” the statement said. “Disneyland being closed is a pretty powerful symbol that not all is well in the United States right now,” said Robert Niles, editor of ThemeParkInsider.com.
