**UPDATED 03/30/2020 to reflect the latest information.**

With Disney Parks policy changes and closures happening daily, it can be tough to keep track of what’s actually been done and what is mere speculation. Here, we aim to clear up any confusion by sharing FAQS about the current status of Walt Disney World and Disneyland. The Inside the Magic team will update here when new policies are implemented or any further information regarding park reopening dates is given.

How long are Disney Parks going to be closed due to coronavirus?

Disney World and Disneyland Resort have both officially closed “until further notice.” Neither theme park has announced an official reopening date. Since Disney’s initial park closure announcement, though, the CDC and the Presidential administration have recommended following social distancing guidelines through April 30, at a minimum. 

It bears noting that the Disney World website is now allowing Guests to book reservations beginning June 1. Disneyland’s special hotel discount offer for eligible ticket holders also begins June 1.

Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort annual passholders will have the validity of their passes extended for the number of days the pass was valid during the temporary park closures.
