Three of Six Disney Florida Park Unions to Reject Pay Proposal

By Karen Mielcarek

(Bloomberg) --
UNITE HERE says three largest unions representing 74% of members plan to reject Disney’s wage offer presented Nov. 30.

• Union says Disney offer leaves starting hourly pay at $10 through 2019
• Voting to take place Dec. 19, 20"

Apparently this comes from an emailed statement by UNITE HERE.

Oh and as we were watching Ciara with her furry hat and leg warmers, my wife said "Remember how hot it was that night? How are they not all glistening?"

Yeah Ciara is pretty hot.

Universal doing anything with Marvel is just a hilarious middle finger to Disney these days. I hope the folks in charge at Universal get as big a kick out of it as I do...

I'm pretty sure Disney still has to sign off on anything Universal does with Marvel. So, I'm sure they're getting their say and share of all this.

no they don't. universal has the rights to use the characters in their park however they see fit

Might be just the way the art is presented.

I think it fits the Caribbean theme very well.

As someone who lives in the Caribbean, this is still current style around here. Just prefer the actual ocean feet away. Really makes the wood really pop!

Holy Schnikes ... Fuzzbucket takes me back! I think that was one of the 80's Disney Sunday Movies. It was cheesy as heck, but I loved it as a kid. Now TCM just needs to air Earth Star Voyager

They cannot use the them however they see fit. If Disney can provide reasonable cause to reject something, they can do so. It's in the contract.

Walked around a bit today. Kinda growing on me, but I like more choices regardless.

The walk to the food court and dining appears fairly short.

Not sure but appears illumination is in view from the CBR main pool, but will be blocked by the tower.

Took a couple phone pics if interested.
