It depends on the role. I think some people were making $8-something an hour to start, but a few roles make as much as over $10 to start, I think. I worked as a food prep, and I think my starting wage was $9-something but I trained as an order cook part of the way through and made over $11. The pay in DLR is generally higher than at WDW because the housing is more expensive, and the cost of living in general is higher in California than Florida.
