3. Tokyo Disney Resort

Though there's nearly 2,000 miles and an ocean separating China from Japan, the island nation ranks second, just behind South Korea, in the number of confirmed Coronavirus cases outside mainland China, with nearly 1,000 cases being reported as of February 26, 2020. And though the resort is remaining open for the time being (other theme parks like Sanrio Puroland have shut down for the time being), due to the growing number of cases Tokyo Disney Resort has begun to take special precautions due to the spread of the Coronavirus:

  • Face character meet and greets have been cancelled until further notice, according to NHK
  • Guests who do not feel well are being advised not to enter the theme parks
  • Guests both in the parks and at connected hotels have been advised to wash their hands frequently and use hand sanitizers to avoid infection.
  • Cast Members at the Tokyo Disney Resort are also being encouraged to wear sick masks on stage to help keep them safe from infection.

Unfortunately, there is no way to know exactly how long Disney parks (and the travel industry at large) will be dealing with the effects of Coronavirus, but while  this situation is evolving, all travelers should check out the CDC's official site here, which has information on the virus and preventing its spread.
