Well, it was fun while it lasted.
Hong Kong Disneyland will close for the third time this year due to a new wave of coronavirus infections in the city.
The theme park announced the news on Tuesday, explaining that it will temporarily shut down on Dec. 2 as a preventative measure in the fight against COVID-19. It remains unclear how long the amusement park may be closed.
“We are in close contact with health authorities and the government about the situation and will announce a reopening date once they determine it is advisable,” Disney Parks tweeted.

According to a notice on the resort’s website, the park’s hotels and Inspiration Lake Recreation Centre will stay open (for now) with enhanced health and safety measures, like social distancing and increased cleanings.
Hong Kong Disneyland originally closed on Jan. 26 as a “precautionary measure” amid the global outbreak of the viral disease. It reopened in June, only to shut down again a few weeks later on July 15 following a spike in local COVID-19 cases.
The Disney-branded park most recently reopened on Sept. 25 and its gates will close once again after just two months in business.
