Original Story: On the afternoon of March 12, Disneyland announced that it’d be closing its doors beginning March 14 due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and now, just a few hours later, Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL, has followed suit.

“In an abundance of caution and in the best interest of our guests and employees, we are proceeding with the closure of our theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Paris Resort, beginning at the close of business on Sunday, March 15, through the end of the month,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement.

The parks’ cast members have been paid since the closures of the parks in early March, and hourly employees will continue to be paid through April 18.
