Disney is closing Walt Disney World, its flagship theme park resort in Orlando, Florida, because of the global pandemic. The news comes after Disney closed its Disneyland resort earlier on Thursday.
The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World is the world's most-visited theme park, with more than 20 million visitors in 2018, according to a report by AECOM. The company has invested billions in its theme park division, opening two new Star Wars lands in Orlando and California last year. A brand new ride,"Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway" debuted at Disney's Hollywood Studio just last week.
I’ve gotten stomach viruses, colds and flus at Disney before.
SamRobertsWX Lots of 😔 kids but hope they will be open for summer vacation.
It needed doing
I guess Mickey and Minnie tested positive.
I am riding rides by myself like I'm in Wally World
All the Chinese need to defeat us is CNN to put out all this panic information.
The effects of coronavirus are hurting working class families the most. This makes it more clear than ever that our government has failed the working class on every level. The working class needs to demand a government that works for us NOW not in baby steps BernieIsRight
Been on hold to Disney world for over 6 hours trying to reschedule our holiday as we are supposed to be arriving on Monday 16th. Anyone else managed to get though and can share some info on what the process is likely to be? Is it going to be easy to reschedule?! ,
Erm, does this effect itvtakeaway end of the show show?
43.2 cases active. That translates to me as the virus is in decline? Shhh, dont tell the media you know👈
What it really means with all these theme parks closing is all these people just got played off. So much for trump's great economy numbers. Thousands of people in almost every state just lost their income... let stupid trump explain this one! 😡
Average families have been priced out anyway!
Disney World is still having the international cheer competition this weekend , 12 countries and thousands of cheerleaders , families ,coaches , judges .
Kind of late
Everything is shutting down except for my damn place of employment 😭😭😭
That’s being responsible. Doing the right thing and putting THAT over profit/money

Are employees being paid?
Wow if Disney closing its two major parks because of its concerns regarding the coronavirus doesn’t convince 45 that this very real, there is no hope. 😳
Don’t panic and follow the recommendations and rules against COVIDー19 !
When Disneyland closes one of its biggest cash registers, it tells everyone this viral pandemic is real and dangerous. It is not a drill and it will not just go away—as a fumbling trump claims. Our lives will seriously change as a result.
The Wuhan Chinese Coronavirus?
I’m so sorry for all my friends who will be out of work and I pray you are spared from contracting COVID19
Good for them! Unfortunately, here in Pigeon Forge, it seems Dolly Parton cares more about her money than people.
Better to save exposure from contact
See what china did to the world
Very sensible decision and will save lives. People stop being so selfish and think of the bigger picture not just yourselves.
Now it's personal, China
Hmmmmm
Hmmm! So sad for those visiting the place this period....
لعله خير
Boohoo, can't go to Disneyland. I'd be upset too. But think about the staff and other ppl who think this is just the flu. When they go home or to a restaurant and infect others. You're basically making ppl sick, or killing them so u can go on rides w Mickey. Pull your head out.
I'm immune compromised also, have a serious health problem, and 65. We aren't even going into crowded stores.
It's amazing how fast Lindsey Graham was seen when he became ill.
And Trump just killed the happiest place on earth. FUCKTRUMP
Good move, but overdue.
ChuckWendig think you can get your refund now

JUST_IN The most magical place in the universe DisneyWorld is temporarily closing it’s doors due to the coronavirus — this is extremely significant!!⭐️⭐️ disneyworldorlando DisneyThemeParks CoronavirusUSA CoronavirusPandemic CoronaOutbreak
What a shame
We need to know ACCURATE COVID infection numbers and effects! FREE testing needs to be available for EVERYONE; those with and without flu like symptoms!!
The happiest place on Earth is closed. That is a real problem. 😞God help us. 🙏
Not the entire area can still come spread the Virus at Disney Springs and at the Resorts

Corona Virus US cases: (2020) 938 US deaths: 29. H1N1 Virus US Cases: (2009-2010 when Obama was president) 60.8 MILLION US Deaths: 22,469. What makes Coronavirus special enough for this hysteria? A president the media hates.
😳😱

This is the Mar-a-Lago virus.
dvcRentals defrauded my family out of thousands after promising a full refund. The owner, Melissa Mullet than blocked us on twitter and FB. Sad that families are being defrauded during this crisis

Thanks to the media
Finally!
Thanks mom and dad for making me wait 17 years of my life to go to disney on my senior trip! Well it’s closed so look who’s not going. Should have just taken me one of the million times I asked as a child!!
Thank you realDonaldTrump, BarackObama would have cared less. Him laying up with big Mike somewhere in Hawaii
Good for them at least there is somebody taking action against COVID19 the government has blundered it so badly that it's good to see the grown ups taking charge.
I have bad allergies and ALWAYS have the sniffles. Had them even in early childhood. I was supposed to go to Disney with my daughter and family later this month. So bummed. F you Corona Virus
🎵It's a small world after all (cough, cough), it's a small, small world 🎵
But are they paying their employees during the shutdown
Hahahahaha!!!!!!
30% of Florida’s revenue.
But Trump says coronavirus will go away when it's hot. Its hot in Florida everyday.

Yup. You know is serious when Mickey gets the fuck out.
Better Disney World than real world. 🤷♂️
