Disney And Universal Studios Push Park Closures Further Into May, Rephased Reopening Plans Underway

Disney World And Disneyland Push Their Shutdown Into May

Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida and Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California currently don’t show any theme park hours through May 9, according to Inside the Magic. Walt Disney World typically publishes theme park hours six months in advance while Disneyland Resort posts their hours 5 to 6 weeks in advance. At this time, there is no set reopening date for Walt Disney World or Disneyland.

Disney Previously Announced That The Temporary Closing Of Both Theme Parks Is Extended Until Further Notice

Disney previously announced that the temporary closing of both theme parks is extended until further notice. No other information has been revealed from the company. State and federal government are working to gradually reopen the U.S. to get businesses running again, but this will be a slow process done in phases.

If the states follow Trump’s guidelines, then Disneyland and Disney World could reopen sooner than expected. But the state should reopen businesses and return to “life as normal” as their own discretion. It’s unclear how Disney will move forward with its plans. Disney wants to remove park hours from the Disney World and Disneyland schedules because they’re aware that both theme parks won’t be reopening in early May or sooner.

More information should come, and Disney could make changes to the schedule. This is a developing story in which we will update more information as it becomes available.
