“As part of this, we’ve made the difficult decision to eliminate a limited number of salaried positions. We are deeply grateful for the contributions of these Cast Members and are committed to supporting them with care and respect, and resources during this transition.”

This is not the first round of layoffs this year. 115 employees were laid off earlier in the year who worked for the Disney Store (previously known as shopDisney). In 2023, Disney laid off about 7,000 employees, which was one of the largest we’ve seen in recent years.

In early 2025, Disneyland Cast Members filed a class-action lawsuit against Disney, and the parties settled for $233 million. They claim they were being underpaid under an Anaheim law.
