Resort-wide incidents
COVID-19 pandemic
- On January 24, 2020, the Shanghai Disney Resort closed for an undetermined amount of time to help prevent the further spread of coronavirus, a flu-like virus. The park refunded admission tickets as well as hotel bookings for those guests affected by the closure.[1][2] The resort partially reopened on March 9, with the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel, Disneytown, and Wishing Star Park resuming limited operations with new health and safety protocols in place. Disney fully reopened Shanghai Disney Resort on May 11, with new social distancing guidelines and temperature checks in place.[3]
