food IS a theme park
Disney has announced a date for the temporary closure of the dining, shopping, and entertainment districts of Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort in light of concerns over the Coronavirus.
World of Disney in Disney Springs
Disney will close all of its owned and operated locations at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World and the Downtown Disney District in Disneyland Resort effective Tuesday, March 17, 2020. [Read more…]
Today we bid a sweet farewell to the Magic Kingdom and Disney Parks before they closed tonight due to the Coronavirus outbreak.
Happily Ever After
We posted up in front of Cinderella Castle in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom to catch the last showing of Happily Ever After…Â for now (we’ll be back in this same spot right when the parks reopen)…and it was truly something special.
Today is the last day Disney World will be open until the end of the month due to the Coronavirus outbreak (and we’re getting pretty emotional).
Cinderella Castle
While many guests will miss visiting the parks during this time, the Disney College Program participants are officially having to say goodbye. Along with other Disney programs, the Disney College Program is temporarily being shut down due to the park closures. And, while the kids in the programs have to bid farewell to the magic for now, they have all brought a little bit of their own pixie dust into Magic Kingdom today.
Disneyland has officially closed until the end of the month (and we miss it already!).
Salt & Straw in Downtown Disney
However, Downtown Disney is open for guests already in Disneyland to dine and shop while they relax! But, along with the change in operating hours in Downtown Disney, one of our favorite ice cream shops is tweaking their schedule too!
House of Blues has announced event cancellations in response to the coronavirus outbreak.
House of Blues in Disney Springs
As the situation with the coronavirus continues to progress, House of Blues in Disney Springs has announced that they will be cancelling some upcoming events to protect guests and crew members.
We know this has been a deeply troubling time for many families impacted by the Coronavirus. We’ve heard of several parties forced to cancel or reschedule trips to Disney World along with Disney Cast Members being sent home in an effort to protect guests from COVID-19.
Orange County International Airport
We have received news that we felt needed to be shared with any readers who have been been passing through the Orlando International Airport in the midst of the latest events.
Disney Springs is all about a great atmosphere, good food, and PARTY TIME!
Jaleo
While we’ve already told you all the deets on the Paella Block Party at Jaleo (and how to win tickets), we’ve got some bad news and good news for the paella fans out there.
With Disney World closing due to the Coronavirus, the Disney is doing everything they can to help guests with their vacations during this time.
Tables in Wonderland
Although Annual Passes and park tickets will be getting some extra pixie dust sprinkled on them, the Disney magic is extended to Tables in Wonderland memberships too!
Over the last few days we have heard about many closures in the Disney parks, from Disneyland to Walt Disney World to Disneyland Paris, due to the coronavirus.
We expect Disney parks to remain closed until at least the end of the month to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in large groups, but we just confirmed that not all Walt Disney World facilities will be closed!
As Tigger would say, it’s time to bid Disneyland a “ta ta for now”! The parks will be closing their gates through the end of the month as a precaution for the Coronavirus outbreak.
Splitsville
While you can’t snack on a park churro or Dole Whip for the time being, you can still add some extra pixie dust to your day by visiting Downtown Disney! While the shopping and dining area won’t be closing just yet, there are a few changes coming soon.
