It’s been an especially difficult year for cast members, following thousands of layoffs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a sign of appreciation, Disney is opening a temporary shop with special offerings for employees.
The Cast Appreciation Marketplace is a temporary shop coming to Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex on December 7th, according to Attractions Magazine.
