It has been announced that Hong Kong Disneyland would be forced to close its gates due to a fourth wave of COVID-19 that has started to take hold in the city. Now, Disney has released a statement issuing an official closure date.
Hong Kong Disneyland will temporarily close on December 2. A reopening date is not yet announced, and the park is also scheduled to be closed on December 1.
This is now the third time Hong Kong Disneyland has been forced to close. The struggling park was originally closed from January 25th through June 18th, and again from July 15th through September 25th. They join Disneyland Resort and Disneyland Paris in being closed, leaving only Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disney Resort, and Shanghai Disneyland operating.
The closure comes shortly after the completion and opening of the Castle of Magical Dreams and the launch of their “15 Years of Magical Dreams” anniversary celebration just under two weeks ago. The new regulations go into effect starting this Wednesday and will last for at least two weeks.
