Disney Vacation Club to Lay Off 279 Cast Members in December

Yesterday, the Disney Parks, Experiences and Products division announced plans to lay off 28,000 Cast Members within its domestic parks, but did not disclose layoffs by individual park locations or divisions. Today, more information is being distributed on behalf of unions negotiating for their members as well as additional paperwork filed by the company.

According to WDWMagic, Disney has filed another layoff notice listing 279 employees working for Disney Vacation Club that will be laid off beginning December 4. Of these 279 employees, 244 of the Cast Members are located at Team Disney, and 35 are in Celebration.

Do note that this does not reflect the total number of Walt Disney World Resort Cast Members impacted. Layoffs will impact executive, salaried, and hourly roles. Currently, non-union, salaried, and executive Cast Members are receiving notice of layoffs.
