By now, you probably know that all Disney parks around the globe have temporarily shuttered to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus. As of now, they’re closed at least through March 31, but that doesn’t mean all the magic is gone.While we’re all looking forward to the day we can get back on the road, it’s important to stay home to stop the spread of the deadly virus. Health officials agree that the fastest way to return to normalcy is to stop coming in contact with others, including ceasing all unnecessary travel. It’s a small world after all — and your actions can greatly affect others around you.For more TPG news delivered each morning to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter.Until things return to normal, you and your family might have fun enjoying some “virtual rides” from Disney parks around the world. If there are some Disney parks you’ve never visited, then you’ll really be in for a special treat, as every park interprets each ride differently. For example, Pirates of the Caribbean at Shanghai Disneyland is different from what you’ve seen in the U.S. (Spoiler alert: Many would go so far as to say it’s actually better.)Disney World, FloridaSpace MountainIt’s a Small WorldFrozen Ever AfterPeter Pan’s FlightPirates of the CaribbeanMickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway (This one is brand-new and only opened about a week before the shutdown.)Star Wars: Rise of the ResistanceRise of the Resistance attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Photo by Summer Hull/The Points Guy)Disneyland, CaliforniaJessie’s Critter CarouselIndiana Jones AdventureIncredicoasterSplash MountainThunder MountainDisneyland in Anaheim (Photo by Summer Hull / The Points Guy)Disneyland, TokyoJourney to the Center of the EarthIndiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Crystal SkullAcquatopiaShanghai DisneylandTRON Lightcycle Power RunPeter Pan’s FlightPirates of the CaribbeanThe entrance to Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure in Treasure Cove at Shanghai Disneyland .

What’s a hidden Mickey you ask? It’s a small (or big) arrangement of three circles in the shape of Mickey Mouse’s head and ears.(Photo by Edward Pizzarello / The Points Guy)The truly hidden Mickeys might be hard to spot when you’re not physically on the ride, but you can always try. TPG has our own video on hidden Mickeys with the man who literally wrote a book on the subject to get you started on that fun hunt.Sign up for our daily newsletterEmail addressSign upI would like to subscribe to The Points Guy newsletters and special email promotions.
