March Madness has been completely cancelled as well, and the NHL has suspended their season.

Spring training now has been cancelled here in AZ. This will impact AZ very hard.

To be fair, everyone woke up to a very different day today than it was yesterday. ETA: in terms of closures and cancellations. The risk was still there and this stuff still needed to be done yesterday but things moved extremely quickly today.

Yes, that was yesterday. When Disneyland was still open. Today is a different day with new news. I would call again.I called the Disney Convention reservation desk yesterday around 3pm PDST. well before this news broke...I asked if the No Refund policy for deposits for Dapper Days Resort reservations would change because of the Coronavirus situation and his reply was no, the No refund policy was still in effect.. Quote : Your reservation is for Mid April and this whole Corona thing will be over by then . Unquote...
Long gone now I predict.....I wonder if the poster on this forum who said they would only take this seriously once DL or WDW closed will now take this seriously.
Sorry disregard! It was addressed above.I called the Disney Convention reservation desk yesterday around 3pm PDST. well before this news broke...I asked if the No Refund policy for deposits for Dapper Days Resort reservations would change because of the Coronavirus situation and his reply was no, the No refund policy was still in effect..

Actually, all of the shut downs will put us at far greater risks in the long run, Disney is paying their cast members, so they should be ok; however, many other companies either won't or simply can't do the same. This is going to result in loss of homes, jobs, etc., which will ultimately end in more disease and deaths than if we had simply let this run its course.It was a matter of time. I fully expected this.
So awful for those with long-planned vacations, but it's safer in the long run.
Imagine the logistics nightmare for the staff there. Not to mention the short term unemployment claims that are being filed from all over.
So many people will be negatively impacted financially. Those Disney workers do not make a lot of money. No hours is going to wipe out those who live paycheck to paycheck.
Birch Aquarium just sent out an email announcing their closure as of 5p today. Staff will continue to work.My guess is Legoland and Sea World here in SD will follow suit soon.
I’m sure every phone line is overwhelmed right now. Plus this is spring break. So people are having to cancel trips, figure out AP situations etcI've tried a few times to get through to AP guest services to ask if AP expiration dates will be extended by the length of the closure. Each time I got a fast busy signal. I suspect their phones have been disabled or something in view of the avalanche of presumed guest questions. Perhaps I'll try again later.
I'm sad, but I was wondering when this would happen. We were there last week, it was moderately crowded (felt like a 5-6/10). To think this is the 5th time in 60+ years underscores how serious this all is...the updates from Italy are dire. COVID-19 is a treatable disease....just not when everyone rushes the healthcare system at the same time.
Hats off to Disney for helping flatten the curve.
Now that aside, I wonder about the following:
1) Think they'll go full maintenance mode and have some employees in park continue refurb ops (Haunted Mansion)? Might be a good time to start work on Indy.... or is that just bad optics/PR to do that?2) Wonder what will happen to DVC points for stays at VGC. I hope they make those points bankable to the next use year, because redepositing them into the current year will be mostly useless.3) Those poor folks at the hotels and businesses surrounding the park... no conventions, no DL...ouch. Ouch ouch ouch.
I’m sure. My question isn’t timely or pressing so it can wait. But I am curious.I’m sure every phone line is overwhelmed right now. Plus this is spring break. So people are having to cancel trips, figure out AP situations etc

They didn’t have to, but yes, I’m sure that had a lot to do with it.Disneyland probably closed to adhere to the governor's closing of no more than 250 in a crowded area from what our cruise grp was thinking.
