Disneyland Paris has seen a second closure due to the global health crisis.

The European resort initially reopened in July but was reclosed in October due to COVID-19 numbers and prevention measures in France. Disneyland Paris was expected to reopen on February 13th, but now the closure has been extended.
Today, Disneyland Paris announced that instead of reopening next month, the resort will remain closed through April 2nd, 2021.

The extension is due to continued measures in France including a nationwide 6PM curfew as well as current case numbers.

It’s worth pointing out that case numbers in France are much lower than in the US, but they’re still taking necessary precautions. (And also that employees are protected here and won’t be losing jobs or salaries due to closures.) Even when they had reopened, the numbers they allowed in the parks were minimal (like, you could walk on Big Thunder Mountain without waiting in the middle of the day crowd levels) and social distancing and mask wearing were (mostly) strictly enforced. I’m an annual passholder and miss being able to visit, but the crowds at Disney World right now are shameful considering the current state of affairs.
I agree with Tiffany. I was just there in DW in December. They REALLY need to get FastPass going again. Crowds could be more evenly dispersed with that implemented.
