Local 362, a union that represents around 6,000 Cast Members at Walt Disney World who work in attractions, custodial and vacation planning, have been called back to work for a June 28 start date, ahead of Walt Disney World reopening in July.
Disney has told us that all Full-Time Attractions Cast Members will be recalled for a June 28 start date. This includes EWWS, Water Parks, Cirque, Auto Plaza, and Mini-Golf. There are still some who need to be notified by Disney. Hang tight, your call is coming!
We also have great news to report on Part-Time Attractions Cast Members. All Part-Time Attractions Cast Members who work in a Theme Park will be recalled for a June 28 start date! Those calls should begin soon
While some of these Cast Members hold roles at locations such as Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon or Disney’s Blizzard Beach, they may be positioned elsewhere in the meantime before the water parks officially reopen.
Disney HR will be informing Cast Members regarding the specific dates they need to return. Cast Members that are not called will remain on furlough until a future wave of recalls.
Cast Members at the various Disney Vacation Club resorts reopening on June 22 have already received their callbacks, and many have already resumed work, which began on June 14. Cast Members who work at various restaurants within the theme parks and resorts have also been called back to work starting on either June 28 or July 5.
Select full-time Cast Members can also request a voluntary temporary transfer to another role to return to work faster.
