The closure begins Saturday at the Anaheim, CA park and continues at least until the end of March, Disney said.The only other times Disneyland has closed was because of the 9/11 attacks, the morning after the assassination of President John FL, Kennedy and because of the Northridge earthquake in 1994.

Disney already has closed its parks in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

There was no word Thursday afternoon on what might be done at DisneyWorld in Orlando, FL.
