Coronavirus and Disneyland Paris

[montydysquith-navarro]

Additional precautionary measures are now in place in Disneyland Paris in light of COVID-19. Meet-and-greets in the Princess Pavilion are suspended until further notice, while the Auberge du Cendrillon will host atmosphere characters/mascots instead of face characters.



EDIT: Meet-and-greets with face characters are also suspended until further notice.

Sure thing!

Several new precautionary measures are in place in the Parks now:

Seasons of the Force and Illuminations are cancelled until further notice. I dare say more to do with a mass gathering of people in a small place.

Fridays AP night is also cancelled.

Makes a bunch of sense. Crowding isn't a problem at this time of year except for the fireworks.

DLP is expected to close later this week likely after President MACRON speak to the people tomorow evening French time

Travel to Schengen area countries from the USA will likely be restricted soon. The situation is rapidly deteriorating. The next few weeks should be quite challenging for many. But, hopefully the forthcoming restrictions will be effective.

Additional precautionary measures are in now place, including the cancellation of the parades/cavalcades and shows.

My trip's fate was sealed with last night's Presidential message. No flights back from Europe = no DLP for me.

Pence said in CNN that Americans can fly back from Europe back to the USA ( if you can find a flight). One will fly into 13 approved US airports to be screened for covid-19.

Aren't they still allowing merican Nationals to return ( with quarantine back in the states upon arrival ) ?

Beat me to it.

One can be forgiven for interpreting the President’s words as the policy. Who writes his speeches? What were his elementary school reading grades?

 

[PixarPerfect]

Yeah - we went off of last night's news, not today's backtracking after the fact. Stupid us for listening. At this point the whole thing has been such a mess that the risk of getting locked out is there.

DLP's phone isn't working. It rings then hangs up. Now it rings then beeps. Once it rang and became a fax line. The main line on the website. Does anyone have a different international number?

It’s official. DLP and WDW closing after operating hours on Sunday and staying closed until the end of the month. DCL also suspending operations till the end of month.

Following this afternoon's Governement new measures (no gatherings of more than 100 people), the closure of Disneyland Paris will take effect this evening. Resorts and Disney Village will continue to operate for the time being.
All cultural sites, monuments and attractions across the country are also closing doors.

 

[marni1971]

^ yep. And they’re shut. As is guest parking. Hotels remain open to allow those staying to arrange to leave. Village is open with all stores limiting entry to a certain amount at once.

Unprecedented is a word being used a lot this week.

To their credit DLP have opened an online form for those to request a move of their hotel booking. Terms and conditions as already stated (free to move, same package details, until mid October)

Link is on the official website page.

It's nice that they finally did that... My phone bill has $100+ charges from waiting on hold with DLP. The one time I spoke with someone he said he could only handle restaurant cancellations and refused to help with anything else. After cancelling our meals, he put me back on hold. Hopefully now that they've officially closed my reservation will be refunded.
