Creator's Key Takeaways
when guests at Walt Disney World interact with cast members they can be confident these Disney employees have good jobs benefits and rights and protections of a Union contract
I have talked to in my time a lot of people that work for patina and I have never heard good things about working for the patina Restaurant Group in particular
we're obviously going to follow this the same way we did when Disney cast members you know asked to strike and and things of that sort last year
I would be shocked if we are not saying goodbye to splash mount in Tokyo disal which is very sad
