News Round Up 2017

They have been cutting/consolidating staffing at resorts for 20 years...

...I guess nobody noticed before?

Does it really take 90 minutes to deliver a pillow?

I don't know about a pillow, but it took them until 5 o'clock to do trash and towel....

You can't demote the poor guy just cause he fell for a trap. Happens to the best of us.

A likely excuse...

Well...technically it's not a demotion...it would be a side grade...

But every squid knows it's the admirals that look the most sharp in the dress unis and get the chicks...

Disney's live-action Aladdin film has moved its release date from December 20, 2019 to May 24, 2019. It basically switched premiere dates with Episode IX of Star Wars.

The other problem here is no Star Wars movie for fiscal 2019 (Oct 2018-Sep 2019).

Don't be surprised if the Han Solo movie with its reshoots also gets pushed back to Christmas 2018. Best time of the year for Disney to release these films

Because one of the goals of dvc was to eliminate housekeeping staff...

Are people more likely to buy tickets to trash if they are feeling the holiday spirit?

Because one of the goals of dvc was to all eliminate housekeeping staff...

On the flip side you have a clientele which has paid more than most towards the bottom line. Empty the damn trash

Seems to me they should help their own employees who are affected in particular.

Yep lol

Yikes. We were at Art of Animation for one night last week before fleeing the hurricane, and that place needed a lot MORE staff. They had 4 people dealing with 50-60 people trying to get early checkouts to leave the storm, our room had water damage on the bathroom door (with paint chipping away as well), and the bathtub had an empty shampoo bottle sitting in it.

This seems like a mistake considering all the new lands heading for WDW

Not sure about with Irma but I know in the past there have been lots of stories of Disney helping out their CMs after events above and beyond what most companies do so I would expect this to be in addition to helping CMs not instead of

 

[MissGina5]

I wonder if these layoffs have to do with the union negotiations?

I don't think so. They don't seem to be targeting front line positions.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Am I the only cynic that just assumes Disney can write off all the aid they're giving to their employees/the area for the hurricane and that is why they are so willing to do it? Tax write off and good publicity, can't lose.
