Disneyland and Disney World were originally scheduled to reopen on Wednesday, April 1. Now it's been pushed back indefinitely. Both resorts will stay closed for the foreseeable future.
The statement also revealed that the company will pay its “hourly parks and resorts cast members through April 18.” Based on current statements by health officials, it’s very unlikely that the parks will be reopened by then. Hopefully something happens to push that April 18 deadline back, as despite its massive losses during this crisis a company the size of Disney should be able to care and provide for its employees as needed.
Disney had a variety of new projects scheduled to open this year, from the Ratatouille ride at Epcot, to the Avengers Campus development based on its Marvel characters that’s coming to California Adventure. All construction at every park is currently on hiatus, so it’s safe to assume that even if the parks do wind up reopening soon, those projects will wind up being pushed back.
