With Disneyland's unprecedented closure, how long do you expect this to go on?

I hope they will continue to work on Marvelland, and it still opens ontime.Dumbo rats: the other lovable rodents.

I think when people start dying here the media will do its best to whip everyones frears into a frenzy. And that situation could put Disney in a very poor light if they try to open back up too soon. Even if the threat is not that significant, if Disney tries to open up too soon it could turn into a public relations nightmare and risk doing permanent damage to its brand if they move to quickly.

I think they'll remain closed least through the end of April, but most likely until mid-May/June 1.
This isn't going to go away in two weeks. And I think there will be a lot of work needed to prepare staff and facilities for the 'onslaught' of guests and AP holders who will be anxious to get back to the parks."Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."

As Stormy said, this isn't going to go away in two weeks. There will also be social and economical ripple effects that will effect us. Iger stepping down makes so much sense now, we're now living in a different world unfortunately. We have to trust those who are studying this virus closely and take care of each other. It's up to us all to rise above and work together and combat this epidemic as best as possible.

I really wish I could vote "Until summer", but I voted "indefinitely" instead, because I have been told that it's only now that China seems to getting some kind of grasp on the problem and they are starting to flatten the curve, but it's still going to be a long, long time to send the curve downward, which I was told could probably happen no sooner than June. Bear in mind, this started in December, so if we take that timeframe into account, we could be looking at the state of California pretty much being shut down until October, if we're lucky.
And let's not forget also that it will probably take a year or more for them to come up with a vaccine for this thing, so for all we know, this could extend for well over a year!My top favorite Disneyland attractions:
1. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
2. Pirates of the Caribbean
3. Splash Mountain
4. Mad Tea Party
5. Peter Pan's Flight
6. Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin

Hopefully, there won't be a lot of deaths. I have been listening/watching the new conferences that have been broadcast all day. I understand things a whole lot more. There's a plan in effect, and I certainly hope it helps to pinpoint the infected, and treat those people so they survive in the end. As our Governor in Illinois said today, He'd rather be accused of doing too much, rather than not doing enough.

I would be surprised if they stayed closed more than a month or two and I would be absolutely flabberghasted if they stayed closed any longer than summer. I know the correct answer is "nobody really knows" especially with how quickly this situation can change but I would bet they reopen before the end of April. Just my guess!"I take no side. I am beyond your worrying and wars. I am unseen. Unknowable. Like a rock in the river."

I got a feeling, as I said, it could be much, MUCH longer than that, especially if this one email for Annual Passholders (which I'm not) is any indication:
Given the necessary closure, all Annual Passholders who have Passports that are valid during the closure period, will have their Passport expiration date extended based on pass type and level of access due to the impacts of the closure. The extended date will be reflected on your Passport account prior to our reopening of the parks.
Annual Passholders on the monthly payment program will remain on the current payment schedule and continue to make their scheduled payments. These Annual Passholders will have their Passport expiration date extended based on pass type and level of access due to the impacts of the closure, and will not be required to make any payments during that extended period.
Note the bolded words in the second paragraph, as they indicate how specific things are. This indicates that it could be months and not weeks. Even a May reopening is probably a bit too optimistic.
It also makes me wonder how long they can stand to keep the parks closed before they start to lose too much money.My top favorite Disneyland attractions:

Six Flags does not allow ANY On-Ride video or pictures on the rides. The ONLY way is if you get explicit permission from Park Management." ???
