Here is everything you need to know if you are heading to Disney World in Florida.
Is Disney World closed and when will it reopen?
Disney World Orlando closed on March 16, following 42 cases of coronavirus reported in Florida – the state now has nearly 5,000 reported cases.
At the time, bosses said that the theme park would stay closed until the end of the month.
However, they have now updated that information to say that the parks will remain closed until further notice.
Disney’s water parks and hotel resorts are also closed indefinitely.
Tickets for 2020 that were purchased before March 16 will automatically be extended to either December 2020 or September 2021, depending on their type.
Annual passes will be extended for the number of days the park is closed.
Additional perks like after hours and dining experiences will automatically be refunded.
Other theme parks are closing too – Disneyland Paris and Disneyland California stayed closed indefinitely.
