Despite leaving their resort hotels open while the park has been closed for a week now, Hong Kong Disneyland has decided to close the restaurants at said hotels as a precaution against the spread of the Coronavirus.
The hotel restaurants were closed beginning on February 1st, 2020. It remains unclear when operations might return to normal, at least at this time.
As you might guess, we still do not know how long the Hong Kong Disneyland park closure will last. Shanghai Disney Resort has also been closed since January 25.
According to CNN, at least 213 people are dead and more than 9,709 cases have been confirmed in mainland China, as the virus spreads globally.

Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is set to undergo refurbishments at multiple areas at the hotel over the next five to six months. While these areas are being refurbished they will be temporarily closed to guests, including the Old Faithful Club concierge lounge which will close immediately.
Old Faithful Club is the concierge lounge at the resort and it is set to reopen on February 24th. Guests staying at the hotel with lounge access will be contacted by the hotel to let them know of the temporary closure.
Other areas of the resort will be under refurbishment for the next five to six months with work taking place from 9 AM to dusk. Noise from the work should be minimal but audible noise from the work will only be heard during these working hours.
