Disney announced it will be closing Disneyland and California Adventure Park from Saturday through the end of the month as cases of COVID-19 continue to rise in Southern California and nationwide.
The decision was made following Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order calling for the cancelation of large, non-essential public gatherings in California, though he exempted theme parks and casinos from the directive.
