What happens to my park tickets that are already paid for? Can they be used in the future when this passes?
Disney is not issuing refunds for park tickets at this time, however multi-day tickets with unused days or tickets dated between March 12th and March 31st, 2020 will automatically be extended until December 15th, 2020.
If you’re unable to use your tickets by that date, Disney will credit the value of your unused tickets towards another ticket purchase for a future date. Click here to read more about Disney World’s policy for theme park tickets affect by Coronavirus closure.

We are booked to go in June. Will this affect our reservations? Can we get refunds, if they are still closed into the month of June?
Disneyland and Disney World have only announced they’ll be closed until the end of the month, but as such with other overseas Disney theme parks that have closed due to Coronavirus, we could see these dates extend. No one knows what the outcome of this situation will be, so stay current with the latest official statements released by Disney regarding the re-opening of its theme parks by subscribing to our DFB newsletter where we’ll cover every announcement.

If my family has to cancel our upcoming trip to Disney World, how should we deal with it?
With lots of love and patience. We know how heartbreaking it is to have to cancel a trip you’ve been looking forward to many months or maybe even years. But out of an abundance of caution, Disney has come to this decision which couldn’t have been easy for them to make.
They certainly know how disappointing and hard this is for their guests who were planning on visiting the parks in the next few weeks. But due to these unfortunate circumstances which are completely outside of their control, they’re working diligently with every guest to get trips rescheduled and get us back to our happy place as soon as possible.
