Due to the Coronavirus, both parks and the cruise line will suspend public operations on Sunday, March 15, 2020. Disney Springs and ALL Disney Resorts will be cleared of visitors.  Disney is reporting that there have been no reports of the Coronavirus at any of the properties and that they are suspending operations due to overwhelming public safety concerns.

Some reports are claiming that this shutdown will last until March 30, 2020 at the earliest, although there is no confirmation from Disney on that date.

Here at DisneyDawgs, we will keep you updated with the latest information as soon as it is available.

Below is the official statement from the Disney Company regarding the closures.
