This is so disappointing to hear. I wish disney would pay their workers properly. I remember really enjoying a trip to Disney when I was a kid and the park staff played a huge role in that.

Have you seen the prices lately? Not just for parks, but their hotels, cruises other revenue sources etc. Hollllly man. It's insane. They are making absolute bank.

I would love to see an actual transparent breakdown of how they allocate their money. Their workers should be getting a lot more. If I ever get the chance to go back one day, I don't know if I would be able to enjoy it nearly as much knowing that these staff members are literally giving their lives to the company just to make park guests days special.(actually idk if I would go back period. Even if I could afford to go, it just puts a shadow over the whole experience)

Idk the whole thing is just gross. Just pay them properly dammit.
