Cast members are a big part of the reason why Disney World feels so magical.
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.
This shop will be exclusive to cast members and will offer discounts up to 75% off.
Cast Members can register to visit the marketplace beginning on November 23rd. Disney has shared that this shop may also have some surprises! Check back with us for news about future pop-up shops and specials for cast members!
