When Disney officials announced Disneyland and Disney California Adventure would be closing Saturday, March 14th, it was only a few hours later that Disney World also made the decision to shut down its theme parks at the end of day Sunday, March 15th. While the parks were originally supposed to reopen April 1st, Disneyland and Disney World have both decided to extend their closures indefinitely. UPDATE: Disney World began a phased reopening of the theme parks on July 11th.

As a response to the Coronavirus outbreak, Disney is taking every precaution necessary to protect its guests and employees (even closing Disneyland and Disney World).

It was an unprecedented move, with all of the parks staying closed longer than they ever had before. We saw the closures of Tokyo Disneyland, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Shanghai Disneyland due to the virus first, then the other parks around the world followed, with Disneyland Paris being the last to reopen. But just how rare is the closure of a Disney park? Let’s take a look back at all of the times Disneyland and Walt Disney World have closed in the past.
