The closures are expected to last through the end of the month. A two-week closure would be the longest ever for Disney. The company announced this morning it will close all Disney Store locations, effective tomorrow. Shopping can still be done in the online store. In addition, Disney is closing all owned and operated hotels at Disney World Resort and Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, effective on Friday. Disney says these decisions are being made in an abundance of caution and in the best interest of guests and cast members.
