Die-hards escape reality at Disneyland before it closes. For service workers, uncertainty abounds
The Happiest Place on Earth shut its gates Friday night due to the coronavirus crisis. A full non-weather-related closure of Disneyland has happened just three times in the park’s 65-year history. But this time is different.
It’s well known among annual passholders that rainy days are usually the best days to visit the amusement park, so much so that it often defeats the purpose of going on those days — except for this Friday. Neither the rain nor the virus were going to make them cancel the quick getaway they had planned a month in advance, especially given that Vazquez had promised his girlfriend, he said. The couple flew from Sinaloa, Mexico, to Tijuana and rented a car to drive to San Diego and up the coast.A family of eight shared similar sentiments about their trip to Disneyland. They had planned their trip from Arizona to Anaheim since December as a final family vacation before Devan Heilman joined the Navy.
“Very impressive. I’m sure the supreme leader would agree,” the soldiers told him. “Your allegiance is noted.” Disneyland’s closure marks only the fourth time it has fully suspended operations in its history — the others being after 9-11, in the wake of the 1994 Northridge earthquake, and the national day of mourning after President Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.
