After the announcement of the closure of the Disneyland Resort, the Walt Disney World Resort, as well as other entertainment destinations and venues around the world due to concerns surrounding the Coronavirus (COVID-19), Adventures By Disney has made the decision based on guidance from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention to cancel tours, some of which extend through June.
Update (3/17/2020):
- Adventures by Disney has announced they are now deciding to suspend new departures through the end of April. Originally, they planned to suspend departures through the end of March.
- This extension is based on global developments and the advice of public health authorities, medical experts and officials in the destinations Adventures by Disney visit.
Previously:
