Even though it was only a matter of time, still somewhat shocked.

Was wondering when this would happen. We are still booked for our spring break/April trip but it's more and more likely that we will cancel. (we have up y a week before to cancel our hotel.)

It was a matter of time. I fully expected this.
So awful for those with long-planned vacations, but it's safer in the long run.
Imagine the logistics nightmare for the staff there. Not to mention the short term unemployment claims that are being filed from all over.

So many people will be negatively impacted financially. Those Disney workers do not make a lot of money. No hours is going to wipe out those who live paycheck to paycheck.

Disney states they will pay the employees during this closure.

They better do right by annual pass holders as well. Was planning on going on Saturday.

Has anyone seen any info on this? Will our passes be extended by the length of any closures? I was actually considering making a spontaneous trip this week fully expecting them to close in a couple weeks. I'm only surprised it happened so suddenly with barely a day's notice!

The news of the closure was released just minutes ago. I assume some kind of statement will come regarding APs.

This is dumb. The entire nation is totally overreacting to this.

Was just there yesterday!

I’m actually surprised they didn’t close through April, it’ll probably get extended.

"Sorry folks, we're closed for two weeks to clean and repair America's favorite family fun park. Sor-ry!"

Don't mean to upset anyone. Humor helps me cope.

It is what it is. Let's not get too side tracked...

I'm SO sorry for those of you losing your March trips. I hope you get chances to try again soon!!

 

[Vysecity]

Glad I got in my Parkeology challenge on Monday! Made one last memory to hold me over

 

[PixieT78]

We were due to go March 15-19 but actually cancelled last night. I've never felt so validated about a tough decision.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Well, now we know. DL is closing Mar 14 til the end of the month.

The message from Disney says they will pay the employees. No unemployment or out of work people.

Wow... I did suspect something like that would happen...

I live in Germany so Italy is pretty close and it is awful there... and it doesn’t look like it won’t be as bad in other countries including the US... if this step will look like an overreaction in a couple of weeks I will be very happy for all of you living in the US! It is certainly better to act sooner than later... I am very glad Disney our public health over money...(and that they continue to pay the CM...)

but wow... I feel sad for all of you who planned vacations for a long time and can’t go now...but vacation can be rescheduled ...
