Total Cast Member Layoffs at Walt Disney World Reaches Over 18,000

A new notice of layoffs indicates that 11,350 more union employees of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts will be terminated. Over 10,000 of those are Walt Disney World Cast Members, bringing the resort’s total number of layoffs to over 18,000.

The notice also includes some Cast Members from the Maingate Complex, Orlando International Airport, Celebration, and more.

We learned earlier today that 10,000 Cast Members are being laid off from Disneyland Resort. This means the resorts have reached the combined total of 28,000 layoffs that Disney Parks originally announced.
