Shanghai Disneyland Closes Again Due to Pandemic

Shanghai Disney Resort has posted an announcement on its website stating that both Shanghai Disneyland and Disneytown will be closed on November 1st and 2nd. This closure could continue longer. This is to keep Shanghai Disney Resort in line with health and safety guidelines for the pandemic. It comes after a confirmed-positive test from an out-of-town guest who visited Shanghai Disney Resort.

The closure of Shanghai Disney Resort comes after it was previously reopened after being closed for the pandemic on May 11, 2020. It also was closed for a couple of days in September due to weather.

The following statement was posted on Shanghai Disney Resort’s website:

In order to follow the requirement of pandemic prevention and control, Shanghai Disneyland and Disneytown will be closed on Monday and Tuesday, November 1-2, 2021. We will notify guests as soon as we have a confirmed date to resume operations.
We apologize for the inconvenience and will provide refund or exchange for all guests impacted during this period.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
