Go ahead and switch to Universal or Knotts, btw they raise their prices all the time too but before you compare the prices, compare the parks to each other.As someone who worked concessions at Horseshoe through the College Program, what I discovered was that the positions with the most hours was working giftshop, food, and janitorial (the first week saw myself start work the day after orientation ended while my roommates who worked janitorial started a week later and the one who worked parking had to wait 2 weeks before he could start). Every single company raises prices every year, yeah DL is expensive but in my opinion and millions of others, worth every penny every time. I’ll pay the higher parking fee, the price increase on my pass/key, more for food…etc because I spend what I can afford, Disneyland is a privilege not a right. As far as others complaining about cast members being rude, I’m sure it’s a reaction to how you were treating them, I’ve been to DL 13 times past year and not one bad experience. For the people saying it’s not Walt’s vision anymore oh well, times change and I’m sure he would agree with a lot of the changes and disagree with a lot of the social and overall look of cast members today, don’t agree? Google some of the original cast member appearance rules. Most of these comments are laughable, DL won’t lose a single penny from ANY changes they make to any policy, anyone who thinks otherwise obviously has not been to the park recently! They are at or near capacity no matter the day, lines are insane, merch sells out… this company knows what it is doing. BUT now this new system will get SO MANY honest Cast Members fired because they just can’t keep working the overscheduled hours they are being given that are AGAINST their availabilty that has been happening since SPRING BREAK. IF Disney actually scheduled people according to their agreed upon hours and availability, no one would care because the tiny % of people abusing the old system would eventually get fired. Sick pay accrues so slowly, so it is not realistic for a part time Cast Member to call out of 1 or 2 shifts a week in order to work their other jobs, do schoolwork, or to get the PART TIME hours they agreed to work. Disney does not pay enough and many Cast Members have second or even more jobs, on top of many being students as well. It has been the WORST this year and has been happening since Spring Break this year where every single week part timers have been given 40+ hours.
DISNEY CAST MEMBER WORK SCHEDULE FULL
For example, part timers are forced and given full time schedules sometimes. Cast Members are complaining because they are being scheduled AGAINST their availability. What the public does not understand is even if this new policy seems in line with other companies, Disney has full control over what they schedule their Cast Members. Twitter user DisneyDragon posted the new policy. This new attendance policy only applies to Disneyland Cast Members. Many Cast Members are predicting that Cast will be fired or will quit as a result of this new policy. This statement drew backlash from Cast Members who were unhappy with the Union’s action, or lack thereof, in regards to representing Cast Members. A statement from Workers United Local 50 notes that Disneyland only made “minor adjustments” to the proposed policy after talking with the Union and that Disney is “not interested in making any more movement” regarding adjustments to the policy.
A big sticking point with Cast Members appears to be that an ongoing illness will be more penalized under the new “hours missed” metric versus the current points-based metric that recognizes that illness can stretch more than a single day.Ĭast Members are not just directing their outrage at the Disneyland Resort, but also the unions that they are a part of. The policy, which utilizes an “hours missed” metric instead of a points-based metric, is viewed by many Cast Members as being more restrictive than the current policy. Cast Members are taking to social media this afternoon after the Disneyland Resort and related Unions announced that a new attendance policy will go into effect in early October.
