DISNEYLAND Paris will remain closed to visitors today in the wake of “horrendous” attacks in the French capital, the attraction has said.
A statement on their website said: "In light of the recent tragic events in France and in support of our community and the victims of these horrendous attacks, Disneyland Paris has decided not to open its theme parks on Saturday 14 November.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected by these horrible events.”
Disneyland Paris, situated 20 miles east of the centre of Paris, is one of Europe’s busiest tourist attractions with 14 million people visiting last year.
Security has been stepped up across Paris after terror descended on the city last night, with Britons there advised by the Foreign Office to "exercise caution in public places".
But flights, ferries and trains continue to run as normal despite a night of bloodshed.
