You would not believe how many Disney fanatics assailed cast members over this. - David Jul 27, 10:26 28
- "You're a laborer, you should be laboring. That's what you get for not having an education!" -- nm - TWuG Jul 27, 11:31
- “If you consider them so unskilled, why do you enjoy Disney parks?” -- nm - Qale Jul 27, 10:34 1
  - The discussion was so strange that I wondered about paid social media postings. - David Jul 27, 10:36
- *smh* -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 10:29
- What percentage of park costs would be labour? I honestly have no idea to even guess. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jul 27, 10:29 23
  - You know, that's something I've never researched that would be a fun exercise. Thanks for the idea! -- nm - David Jul 27, 10:33 22
    - Here's something I found... - David Jul 27, 10:40 15
      - Your math is off - Elvis Jul 27, 11:01 6
        
        and wouldn't an 8 hour day not really matter. if every employee gets the raise it would be the operating hours of the park - Beaker Jul 27, 11:10 3
        
        The eight-hour day is the standard work day for all 23k employees. - David Jul 27, 11:12 1
        
        ahh gotcha, not 23k at anyone time but spreadout through the 24 hours, makes sense. -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 11:13
        
        Yes, it's absolutely a 24 hour operation. - Strongbad Jul 27, 11:12
        
        Oh, you're right that my math is off. $230k would be 23k people for one hour. A day would be 8x, as you state. - David Jul 27, 11:05 1
        
        Thanks! Been a while... -- nm - Elvis Jul 27, 11:08
      - That's a 0.1% ratio. Contrast that with labor cost ratios from 10-50% in other industries. -- nm - Max Jul 27, 10:50 7
        
        I'm just talking about the increase and only at one particular park. -- nm - David Jul 27, 10:52 6
        
        Oh, ha, I guess $55B would be impressive from a single park. - Max Jul 27, 10:57
        
        Right. The revenue from the park would be the baseline. (That is an amazing army of people every single day.) - Name Withheld by Request Jul 27, 10:56 4
        
        Okay, I can set you up with either a travel agent or a DVC points rental place to ensure you get the best deal. - David Jul 27, 11:02 3
        
        Appreciate it and definitely know I'll be reaching out when we begin planning it. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jul 27, 11:17 2
        
        The one thing I'll say is that you'll want to plan at least eight months in advance and preferably book by then. -- nm - David Jul 27, 11:26 1
        
        Right. I'm thinking we start price shopping in 2020. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jul 27, 11:36
    - your version of fun and my idea of fun are vastly different -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 10:39 5
      - Okay, imagine the same discussion if everyone were naked and engaged in heavy petting. Better? - David Jul 27, 10:42 4
        
        much better -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 10:47
        
        Not really. You left the door open to "Roseanne and Donald Trump" vs being specific and saying "Bearded Chris Evans, Salma Hayek, and ScarJo." -- nm - Shaun Jul 27, 10:45 2
        
        Pippy flirts with groiny. She's obviously not real picky in this category. -- nm* - David Jul 27, 10:47 1
        
        *snort* -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 10:48
I don't live there, you do - is that enough? -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 10:25 3
- It's a start, up from $11. There were stories of staff living in cars. -- (link) - budice Jul 27, 10:31 2
  - Official press release with chart. -- (link) - budice Jul 27, 10:34 1
    - thanks -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 10:38
