As coronavirus concerns continue to grow, news surrounding closures is constantly evolving and changing. Disneyland Resort in California is now joining the list of closures due to the concern of coronavirus. When will this change go into effect, and what does that mean for your upcoming trip?

Just hours after the news of Disneyland’s exemption from a statewide ban on large gatherings of 250 people or more, more news has emerged surrounding Disneyland Resort’s position on remaining open to guests.

According to Disneyland Resort’s website, the theme park will be temporarily closed beginning on Saturday, March 14th, 2020.

Disney Parks News also sent out this tweet in regards to the closure.
