UPDATE - March 17, 2020: Due to the Resort hotel closures, and in keeping with our focus on the wellbeing of our Guests and Cast Members, Disney Floral & Gifts has temporarily suspended operations through the end of the month. The Disney Floral & Gifts website will be adjusted so that no orders will process for delivery from March 16-April 3 at Disneyland Resort.

-----------

UPDATE - March 15, 2020: With circumstances continuing to change rapidly around the globe, we are making critical and timely decisions based on guidance from local, national and international health agencies. As we have shared before, we are basing our decisions on the safety and well-being of our Cast Members and our Guests, since there is nothing more important than that.

Based on that, at Downtown Disney in California, we will be closing all of the Disney owned and operated locations, including shops and restaurants, beginning Tuesday, March 17, through the end of the month.

Like the rest of our Cast Members, those who work in the Disney owned areas will continue to be paid through the end of the month.

We will continue to monitor the situation and maintain regular contact with the appropriate officials and health experts.
