CALIFORNIA (WDVM) — Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park will be closed from March 14 to the end of the month for precaution against the spread of coronavirus, Disneyland Resort said on Thursday.

The company says there are “no reported cases of COVID-19 at Disneyland Resort” and the Hotels of Disneyland Resort will remain open until March 16 so guests have time for travel arrangements. Disney says its cast members will continue to be paid during the closure.

The company also said they will refund hotel bookings during the period of closure.
