Disney Ends Special "Cast Member" Holiday Passes to Disneyland

Disneyland transforms into nothing short of a winter wonderland every year during the holidays. Sleeping Beauty’s castle shimmers with blue icicle lights. It’s a Small World’s facade turns festive with twinkling Christmas-colored bulbs. The holiday magic draws many to the theme park, but Disneyland workers and their families claim they’re getting the short end of the stick during the holiday season.

Previous years, Cast Members were granted free access, discounted vouchers and complimentary snacks at both theme parks just as a thank you for all of their hard work throughout the year. But now, fliers being hung are indicating that Disney in limiting their special holiday passes to California Adventure only. Everybody knows Disneyland is where the spirit of Christmas brings the most joy.

One flyer implies as much by depicting a scene from Mickey’s Christmas Carol where Ebenezer Scrooge (Scrooge McDuck) admonishes his worker Bob Cratchit (Mickey Mouse) with the caption “…and stay OUT of Disneyland.”

“For more than the past decade, management has helped brighten the holiday season by providing employees with free access for them and their families into Disneyland and California Adventure during the holiday,” Matthew Harden, SEIU-USWW senior coordinator, wrote in an Oct. 5 letter to Matthew Altman, Disney’s labor relations senior manager. “Notwithstanding the fact that revenue from Disneyland’s Parks and Resorts have increased in the past year, Disneyland has unilaterally decided to darken the holidays by taking away some of these benefits from the employees and their families.”

What a way to get your employees in the holiday spirit.
