  1. This is completely ridiculous!! Think about it people think about how much money has Disneyland been making off of every single person that comes in there. Not to mention all of those ridiculous annual passes that have all those stupid dumb regulations that you can only go on certain days and blah blah blah blah blah!! I’m sorry but there should be no reason why they can’t find other duties or jobs for them to do and if they can’t they have plenty of money to pay people unemployment or sick pay or whatever. Just Anaheim Disneyland , alone not counting all the other parks and amusements that they own, generates almost all of the income in Anaheim. So kiss my ass you greedy greedy greedy greedy Disney pigs. All of your so-called cast members aren’t really cast members anymore are they you guys are full of it trying to make people feel like they’re part of something when they really are not shame on Disney and all of their executives And Hive horse riding hufflepuffs. And do not feel bad for those poor imagineers…. they get paid so much money for doing absolutely nothing
