Japan’s Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea are temporarily closing their doors due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

 

The two theme parks, which are operated by the Oriental Land Company, will be closed from Feb. 29 to March 15 after the Japanese government urged measures to limit the spread of the virus, according to a statement posted on the Tokyo Disney Resort website early Friday.

 

Guests who have already purchased admission for those dates are encouraged to exchange them for tickets that can be used until March 31, 2021, the statement said. The exchange can be made free of charge.

 

The closure announcement comes weeks after Shanghai Disneyland temporarily ceased operations “in response to the prevention and control of the disease outbreak” and “in order to ensure the health and safety of our guests and cast.”
