Now, thanks to one of the unions that represents the Walt Disney world cast members, we know a bit more about just what this will mean to those people affected by it.
When the closure of Walt Disney World was originally announced, it was only scheduled for two weeks, and the company announced it would keep paying the park’s cast members through the end of March.
However, we now know that, as of April 19, all 43,000 of Walt Disney World’s union cast members will be furloughed.
Disney then continued to pay its cast members when the closure was extended.
