News Expect closure of Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disneyland to impact Walt Disney World

[ToTBellHop]

What if one to come upon a pallet of phlegm?

It’s all in the naming. I suggest, “Phlegmell: contains 99.99% of germs!” It’s not your fault if they interpret it the same way as “Covid-19 is contained.” Perhaps your seller name could be Nicolas Phlegmell?

I suggest $14.99/ounce. The market will bear it. And you can use it to book a priced-to-go Princess Cruise!

Soooo I’m guessing DLP is still open despite someone predicting it’s imminent closing?

Yes, and today they changed the floral Mickey out front to Minnie for International Women's Day:

Neither the French or American governments want their Disney parks closed. To do so would imply the country as a whole is not safe to visit.

Shanghai Disneyland remains closed as we continue to closely monitor health and safety conditions and follow the direction of government regulators. However, as the first step of a phased reopening, Shanghai Disney Resort will partially resume operations on March 9, 2020 with a limited number of shopping, dining, and recreational experiences available in Disneytown, Wishing Star Park and Shanghai Disneyland Hotel. Each of these resort locations will operate under limited capacity and reduced hours of operation. The Disney Car and Coach Park and the Disneytown Parking Lot will also reopen.

Some parts of the Shanghai Disney Resort are reopening as of today, whilst still no official word on the park itself opening I can see this being a good starting point and test for reopening in the next few weeks (Hopefully!).

Yeah saw that Disneyland Hotel, Disneytown, and Downtown Disney type area in SHANGHAI are opening with the following protocols....can you imagine this at WDW? Have always preferred respectful social distances..... Can you see CM's enforcing such?!

Visitors will be greeted by a very different atmosphere than before the coronavirus outbreak, however. From now on, guests entering the facilities will have to undergo temperature screenings, and be required to wear a mask throughout the entire visit, the company said. Anyone entering one of the dining areas will also have to present a QR code that pulls up their health records.
They are also being asked to "maintain respectful social distances" while using the premises, which will operate on a reduced schedule.

It's gonna be fun watching people eat while wearing masks!

Seems to be a conflict of interests....

Maybe DCL should go down before the American and French parks?

France banned gatherings of 1K or more. How is DLP still open for business??

To be honest, probably money.

The Louvre reopened, maybe there's a loophole.

Didn't Disney manage to work around it as that was to do with indoor venues where most of Disney is "Outside" so you can average out the guests and on paper, there shouldn't be more than 1k inside one building at a time (Even though there probably is). If anyone can find a loophole it's Disney!

But again, how does the Louvre get away with it?

The Louvre closed because of its employees, not a government decree.
