According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on March 16 local time, due to the pressure of the local epidemic, the Disney theme park in Orlando, Florida, usa, has suspended business on March 15, hoping to prevent the further spread of the epidemic.

According to media reports, this is a "special farewell ceremony" for Disney. As can be seen from the photos published online, on the night of March 15, the event, called "Happy and Happy From Now On", attracted hundreds of visitors to watch, the event site was brightly lit, the crowds were all over the corner of the amusement park, and disney not only prepared a gorgeous fireworks show, but even classic characters such as Stitch and Cinderella were absent.
As soon as the photos of this "grand event" were released, they attracted a large number of netizens to criticize. Among these critics even include Abigail Disney, the granddaughter of Walt Disney co-founder Roy Disney. The Disney lady responded angrily after seeing the photos of the crowd: "Are you kidding me?" ”

People have been accusing Disney of its dereliction of duty on social media. Netizen Nicole said: "Disney is irresponsible to do this, they should close the door on Friday morning." John Iglesias replied: "I can't believe we can't agree on such a fundamental issue. ”
Some people think that Disney's move is simply destroying everyone's favorite character image: "It's disgusting to do this, if Florida's medical system is really overwhelmed in the end, Mickey's gloves will be stained with blood!" 」 ”
Disney said that the closure of the park is also a helpless move, although there is no report of Disneyland infection with the coronavirus, but at present, Orlando Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park have closed their doors, and will be closed at least until the end of March.
