As many of you know, Disney World, Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris are closing temporarily in response to Coronavirus.
Now, Disney World has announced that Disney World-owned and operated hotels will officially be closing as well.
All Disney World owned and operated hotels including Vero Beach will officially close at 5 PM on Friday, March 20th in order to give guests time to make other arrangements. Disneyland and Disneyland Paris have taken similar measures and have previously announced that they would be closing their hotels as well.
Disney has also announced that Disney Springs and Downtown Disney in Disneyland will close beginning March 17th. Individual tenants will have the opportunity to continue or adjust their operations. A few tenants have already decided to close their stores and events at locations like Jaleo and House of Blues have been canceled or rescheduled.
Disney World is currently set to remain closed until the end of the month. We will continue to keep you posted as more information is released.

Thank you so much for keeping us updated throughout this!! Is there any sense of how much longer Disney World’s closure may be? Any idea how fastpass changes may work for any of those who had fastpasses booked during the closure time? Thanks again for the updates and positive context. Please keep posting videos if possible during this hard time, it makes it a little easier!❤️
