Disneyland Paris To Close For Second Time Amid Spike In Coronavirus Cases In France

Disneyland Paris To Close For Second Time Amid Spike In Coronavirus Cases In France

Disneyland Paris is being forced to close their gates once again!

The French Disney park is shutting down starting this Friday (October 30), along with many other non-essential businesses shutting down due to the recent surge in positive Coronavirus cases in France.

French President, Emmanuel Macron, is putting the country in a lockdown with only essential businesses able to stay open, which includes schools, nurseries, pharmacies, supermarkets, and other businesses deemed essential, Variety reports.

According to WDWNT, there is no re-opening date set yet, but the lockdown in France is set to go on until December 1st. The chance of removing the lockdown will be re-evaluated every two weeks.

Disneyland Paris will be the second Disney park to be closed at this time, as the original Disneyland still has not opened, and could possibly not even reopen until 2021. Disney Parks executives have slammed the California government’s reopening guidelines.

UPDATE: Disney Parks announces Disneyland Paris will shut down twice! First, in compliance with French guidelines, starting at end of day on Thursday (October 29), and again for the month of January. See their message below.
