It seems Hong Kong Disneyland’s fate continues to remain uncertain at this time, as the closure due to the ongoing COVID-19 spread continues to extend past the original goal of two weeks.

On January 5, we announced that Hong Kong Disneyland would be closing for two weeks starting on January 7 to try and halt the pandemic spread in the area. The closure was only meant to last for 14 days, but now we can see that the Park has extended that closure for another two weeks after only one week of closure.

The Hong Kong Disneyland website notes:
Hong Kong Disneyland Park will temporarily close from Jan 7 to Feb 3, 2022
As required by the government and health authorities and in line with prevention efforts taking place across Hong Kong, Hong Kong Disneyland Park will temporarily close from Jan 7 to Feb 3, 2022.
The resort hotels will remain open with adjusted level of services. Service at restaurants and recreation facilities in hotels will be adjusted according to the latest regulations.
These arrangements will be adjusted from time to time with reference to the latest government requirements.
Unused Park Tickets and/or Designated In-Park Products with expiry dates falling within the Park’s temporary closure period (from Jan 7 to Feb 3, 2022) will be extended. For hotel bookings with check-in date falling within this period, free cancellation can be arranged if required. The validity date for Magic Access Memberships will also be extended. More details will be communicated through our official website when park reopens.

As noted above, Hong Kong Disneyland is now set to reopen on February 3, 2022. That being said, considering how quickly two weeks became four, it seems that Guests should not look at February 3 as a guaranteed date for reopening as things are very volatile at the moment. On the original announcement, the opening date was set for two weeks and that quickly changed.

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort is home to Hong Kong Disneyland Park and is located near Penney’s Bay, Lantau Island, Hong Kong. It was also just announced that Hong Kong will suspend for a month transit flights from around 150 countries and territories considered high risk because of the coronavirus, deepening the global financial hub’s isolation.
Hong Kong Disneyland is an incredibly popular Park that brings in millions of Guests each year. After opening in 2005, Guests quickly came to love the theme park as much as Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort! Much like its American counterparts, Hong Kong Disneyland has a ton of Disney Hotels to visit!
