The closure took place 24 hours earlier than planned. The Disneyland Paris parks finally closed their doors this Saturday until March 31 when they were initially supposed to remain open until Sunday. Disney Village hotels and shops remain open. It is not yet known when they will lower the curtain.
A union representative explains that this is a “prefectural decision. Employees are informed this morning directly by management. Salaries are maintained until March 31; there will be no loss of wages ”for the approximately 17,000 people who work on the site.

On Facebook, the CFDT relayed an internal message asking the "cast members", Disney employees, to report to their posts at the scheduled time in order to receive "instructions from their hierarchy". They are asked to show "understanding" and "patience" in a "period of evolution".
The parks located in Seine-et-Marne, in Marne-la-Vallée, welcome more than 10 million visitors each year. The reimbursement conditions are available on the Disneyland Paris website. As for tickets valid until April 1, their deadline should be extended until September 30.
