Walt Disney World theme parks are closed right now due to #coronavirus concerns. Here’s an aerial view of an empty Disney’s Hollywood Studios from this morning. The parks are set to remain closed through the end of the month. #N13COVID19 pic.twitter.com/jGJqVRgyjE

It’s just sad and creepy, yet strangely exciting to see the parks at Walt Disney World all empty like that.
Hopefully they will be full again soon, but I think it might be longer than 2-weeks, hopefully not.
