To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.

Despite the recent health and safety changes in Disney World, the global pandemic continues to take a toll on the tourism industry. Internationally, some of Disney’s other parks are still closed, like Hong Kong Disneyland.

While Hong Kong Disneyland was expected to reopen on February 23rd, 2022, we’ve got an important update to share.

Disney updated its notice on the Hong Kong Disneyland website. The new message reads, “as required by the government and health authorities and in line with prevention efforts taking place across Hong Kong,” Hong Kong Disneyland Park will remain closed through April 20th, 2022.

In changing the date, Disney has extended the closure of Hong Kong Disneyland by nearly two months. The notice further specifies that Hong Kong Disneyland resort hotels will remain open with an adjusted level of service. There will also be adjustments in services at the resort’s restaurants and recreation facilities.

For guests with unused park tickets with an expiration date that falls within the park’s closure, Disney will extend the expiration date. Free cancelations are also available at this time, and guests with Magic Access Memberships will receive an extension as well.

At the start of the pandemic in 2020, then again in 2021, the park shut down multiple times due to COVID-19. In 2020, the park closed at the beginning of the year, then reopened in June, then closed again in July, reopened in September, and re-closed in December. Then, in 2021, the park reopened (again) in February, then finally, it closed in November 2021 due to suspected COVID-19 cases.
