The Crazy Fact About Disney You Probably Don’t Know

My family and my brother’s family are supposed to go to the “Happiest Place on Earth” in the last week of June. Will Disney World be open by then? I’d like to think so, but as I write this on 3/26… It may not be open. If it is open by then do I even want to even take my family? I just don’t know! But I do know that Disney is a ghost town right now, and it’s crazy to see a giant theme park vacant.

Crazy fact… Did you know Disney’s only been closed 9 times in its history? The first starting in 1999 for Hurrican Floyd. Check out the Erie pictures of an empty Disney World.

  Disney announced on March 12 it will be closing its Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure until the end of March due to the coronavirus. In a statement, Disney said the following: "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. 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 inquires."
