BREAKING: Shanghai Disneyland is closing starting tomorrow Jan 25, until further notice, and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort stops all meet and greet with all "face characters":

That’s it, due to the coronavirus outbreak in China Shanghai Disney Resort is temporarily closing Shanghai Disneyland, and it’s sad to say but whatever is the angle you look at it it’s probably the best they can do, keeping the park open with the expected crowds for the Chinese New Year had too much risks that the virus would spread from guest to guests, and if the park become known as a place where people have catch the virus, SDL is dead. Not to mention the problem of decontamination each night, etc... no, the best was to close everything, that’s what they're doing, and the statement below was posted by Shanghai Disney Resort:

 “In response to the prevention and control of the disease outbreak and in order to ensure the health and safety of our guests and Cast, Shanghai Disney Resort is temporarily closing Shanghai Disneyland, Disneytown including Walt Disney Grand Theatre and Wishing Star Park, starting January 25, 2020. We will continue to carefully monitor the situation and be in close contact with the local government, and we will announce the reopening date upon confirmation.

Shanghai Disney Resort will assist in the refund for guests who have purchased tickets for admission to Shanghai Disneyland, have booked a resort hotel, or have booked tickets for Beauty and the Beast Mandarin Production through the original ticket purchase channel, and we will introduce the detailed procedure and guidelines via the resort’s official platforms as soon as possible.
