My husband works for Disney. We used to love Disney but they are soulless money grubbers that care about nothing more than money!!!

My baby was born 8 weeks premature and so my husband needed to use some FMLA time. They denied it stating he wasn't eligible even though we met all of the requirements. We had to threaten to call the labor board and file a complaint to get it approved.

Then they cancelled it "accidentally" midway through. We lost our son on May 1st and had a life insurance policy in effect when Ethan was born for $5,000 through Disney. we paid every premium. Every cent of that money is owed to the funeral home. Funerals are expensive, even for babies.

Disney paid us $500.00. They claim that they have a policy in effect that if your child is less than 6 months old they only have to pay that amount. It's not the life insurance company's policy, it's Disney's.

So now, I cannot pay the funeral bill, or put up a marker because Disney decided that my baby doesn't deserve one. They make billions of dollars each year, they pay their employees peanuts. those cast members that give you such great service make $6.90/hr. Plus, their insurance costs are 60% of their paycheck if they have kids. Disney merely provides insurance, they pay no part of it.

I cannot believe that they can value a child's life at $500.00. They make more than that off of one family spending one day in the park.
 

I've buried 3 of my 6 children and I feel your pain. To think that Disney is adding to your heartache is not surprising, but very disappointing. :hug:
Please know that there are many people who care about you and hope that you can find a sense of peace sooner than later.
 
I am also sorry for your loss.:hug:
 
I am so very sorry for your loss.
 
I'm sorry for your loss. What does your husband do for Disney? I notice you live in Cuba, NY.
 
I am sorry for your loss but there are parts of the story that are missing. If you have an insurance policy and unless Disney is listed as the beneficiary then you get whatever the value of the policy is, unless Disney is the underwriter for the policy and then it is possible that they only pay out $500. Did you read your policy? If you have a policy through an actual insurance company, Disney can't dictate what that company pays to you unless the policy was written that way. Something is missing here.
 
sorry, I need to edit my profile, we moved to orlando 2 years ago. he works for central shops he repairs the rollercoasters
 
Newflash, Disney is a business, and are in the business of making money....PERIOD!
 
Hi,

How far have you gone up the food chain? Do you know your husband's HR business partner. Or their boss? Do you know how to find this?

Yes, you should know what the policy is (as they should state it in your paperwork). Is it listed on such on your policy that you've paid on? Is that what it says in the fine print?

I am so sorry that on top of the loss of your child, you also have to deal with this, too.

Don't hesitate to contact VoluntEars or one of the other Cast services to help, too.
