It probably won’t be too far behind.

Right now FL only has 30 known cases, CA has about 200 — not sure if that’s factoring in.

Also, the city of Anaheim banned gatherings of over 250 people, which kind of ties DL’s hands. Orlando/Kissimmee haven’t done that yet.

So my gut instinct on this is at that it's spring break in Florida. I wonder if we'll see it in a few weeks.

Sigh. So, my trip is postponed from 3/27-4/2 until May 6-12. Hopefully the world will be a slightly less panicked and sick place by then.

Most of FL is on Spring Break next week.

Yeah but if they close now, they lose spring break money. If they wait a week to ten days, they can still possibly get the business.

According to our local news (FL) WDW is closing too as are Disney cruise line.

Im now stuck trying to figure out how to get a refund for a canceled F&W event since the park will be closed. There is absolutely no info on the tickets and Disneyland outsourced ticket sales

They did back track and say that theme parks were exempt from the ban for now, but the article I read that in was released after Disneyland had already announced the closure (not sure the timeline- if I didnt see it til after or if they didn't exempt them til after Disney closed).

Knott's berry farm emailed late this afternoon saying they will still be open.
