Tokyo Disney parks closing for two weeks over virus concerns

Well, it was not running good anyway.

Bet they got their salary... right?

ps: Don't forget to wear masks, it save lives... as they want us to believe.

Makes sense to close it.

Dear The Resident.

Have you been to Disney the past weeks? It's dead. It's sure one of the last place u'd want to go...

Don't forget to wear the mask.

Constructive comment.

About the main topic. Better close than being open and losing money.

I don’t know if Japan can do without Tokyo Disney for 2 weeks. Going to be majorly packed when it opens back up.

Now I’m scared.

'well, it was not running good anyway' ? Are you referring to some sort of combustion engine?

DisneyLand and DisneySea used to be exactly like they are now (well, until today)) until mainland Chinese Citizens were allowed to travel here visa -free AND the growth of low cost airlines to Narita from China, South Korea and Taiwan.

They are closing purely because of health concerns - not because they are 'not running good'

Now I’m scared.

No reason for alarm. Everyone is just jumping on the two-week shutdown bandwagon to avoid being singled out in the witch hunt news, as the renegade culprit who dared to keep their venue open and spread corona.

You KNOW its bad when the disney resorts in japan close! LOL!

Exellent point made by BeerDeliveryGuy, Nobody will want to be tarred with that brush, From that, you would not recover for a lot longer.

Yep. It is understandable. The ‘happiest place on Earth’ can’t afford a PR catastrophe.

On Thursday night, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe urged schools across the country to close for around a month, though nurseries and after-school clubs are exempt.

This is most likely why Disney decided to close for two weeks.

All for a two minute ride

Blue pill is it not?

I suspect that two weeks will stretch to four at least, until the number of active coronavirus cases in Japan drops.

... two weeks? for some people i,m sure it,s gonna feel like two years ...

I'm at tokyo disney sea now and the popular rides are really packed.

Even now it is still a wait of 100 min

Hi everybody, I have planned my trip to Tokyo on 17th March to 8th April, my flight company doesn't want to refund my ticket so I'm coming anyway, I see that museums, zoo parks etc. is closing, but do you know about marktes like Tsukiji Outer Market is it open? Thank you very much.

Only 2 weeks... should be shutdown the whole period Schools are forced to shut early, otherwise they'd be supporting the spread of the virus.

Why only two weeks? Close it for at lease 6 months.

Expect to see Mickey, Goofy & Donald down at the dole office on Monday
