Used to work there as a "seasonal" employee - Disney would mail me a letter asking of my availability during the busy summer months when I was on vacation and the park was packed, and I had a guaranteed summer job without having to look for one. But I was just a dumb summer kid looking for pocket money. The careerists there are the ones who keep the place running - without them, the wheels would promptly fly off the cart. And my childhood pocket money does not translate to a living wage in sky-high Orange County.

Pay your people, Disney, or soon you'll have no people left.

Look for higher prices in the future, making it even more difficult for the regular people be able to afford "the happiest place on earth."

I love Disneyland, but I doubt I'll ever be able to go again. It's just too expensive. Sounds like unions want to make it even more expensive.

Many employees sleep in their cars unable to afford local rents.
