Disney Suspends Operations In Tokyo

So now, in addition to Tokyo Disneyland still being closed due to the devastating earthquake, administrative operations and operations at Disney Stores in Tokyo have also been temporarily suspended.

Nearly a week after closing its two theme parks in Tokyo in the wake of Japan's catastrophic earthquake, the Walt Disney Co. said it has temporarily suspended administrative and store operations in the city.

"Our top priority is the wellbeing of our employees and their families during this challenging time and we will continue to closely monitor the situation as it develops," Disney said in a statement.

One can imagine that at this time, the last thing on people's mind is to buy Disney items. So this is definitely a good move in Disney's part to make sure employees are not forced into coming to work when the situation is still changing each day and concerns about the nuclear reactors further north are still very strong.
