As layoffs continue to mount in the unpredictably volatile entertainment sector, Disneyland workers have been the latest to be affected by the current landscape. As Deadline confirms, roughly 100 cast member from the theme park have lost their jobs, including “a limited number of salaried positions.”A spokesperson from Disneyland went on record with Deadline to share the following explanation for the sudden job cuts at the resort.“With our business in a period of steady, sustained operation, we are recalibrating our organization to ensure we continue to deliver exceptional experiences for our guests, while positioning Disneyland Resort for the future. 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, respect, and resources during this transition.”At this moment, it is unknown if the final number of layoffs will exceed the expected 100. It also hasn’t been established which sectors of Disneyland employees will be affected by the firings amid the uncertainty.More on the current state of Disney ParksIn December 2024, Disney agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit raised by Disneyland workers under Anaheim Law for unfair wages. Park employees sought compensation as they were paid less than the reported $17 an hour wages voted on by Orange County city voters.The workers who filed the suit at its inception were making considerably less (a reported $12 and $14.25/hour) and presented the argument that Disney had cut their wages despite earning $200 million in tax rebates in order to secure future expansion plans.Disneyland spokesperson Suzi Brown shared the following statement on the lawsuit with Deadline,“We are pleased that this matter is nearing resolution. Currently, all cast members make at least the Measure L requirement of $19.90 per hour, and, in fact, 95% of them make more.”This is considered to be one of the most significant class-action suits in the state of California in recent history.Interestingly, this is not the first news of layoffs from the Walt Disney corporation in recent memory. In fact, CEO Bob Iger announced that more than 7,000 layoffs would occur to streamline the company in 2023, post his return to the position. As a result, Disney employees were terminated in March, April, and May 2023 in a move that impacted workers across Parks, Experiences, and Products.The workforce cuts continued into 2024 when 115 cast members were let go. The affected employees worked remotely in guest service roles, with many of the positions being part-time. More recently, in June 2025, just under 200 members of the ABC and Disney Entertainment teams were laid off as well. The following statement was shared with The Hollywood Reporter at the time,“The impacted teams are employees working on marketing for both film and television, as well as TV publicity, casting and development and corporate financial operations. While individual employees from those teams are impacted, and were notified Monday, no team itself is being eliminated.”As layoffs continue to mount, it remains to be seen how Disney will look to secure its position in the future.
