This isn't really indicative of the problem. A lot of turnover is occurring now in jobs/industries where people have been working for months and/or were never furloughed. As it turns out, there have been massive shifts in ALL industries, and people are leaving low pay/high stress jobs for better jobs and more work-from-home opportunities. The government stiumlus may have helped spur this, but the cause is an expanding economy, and not a depressed workforce.
This article was focused a bit on the retail industry, but there are a lot of parallels to working at Disneyland (bold mine):
With much of the country easing pandemic-era restrictions, service establishments like restaurants, gyms and salons are offering better pay and benefits to rebuild the staffs that got gutted during the crisis. Sectors like real estate, professional services, banking and insurance are also hiring — often at higher wages than retail, where median hourly pay for store employees hovers around $13 — in anticipation of renewed demand, according to Julia Pollak, a labor economist for the site ZipRecruiter.
“In a tight labor market, we often see big shifts among workers with low earnings,” she said. “If you’re making $12 an hour and there’s a job down the street offering $12.50, why not jump? There’s no reason not to — which is what’s happening now.”
Some are finding less stressful positions at insurance agencies, marijuana dispensaries, banks and local governments, where their customer service skills are rewarded with higher wages and better benefits. Others are going back to school to learn new trades, or waiting until they are able to secure reliable child care.
Some labor experts, though, say retailers are not going far enough in addressing structural problems in the industry. Retailers, they say, should be focusing more on stable schedules, safer working conditions and benefits like paid sick leave and vacation time.
Anecdotal definitely, but have you also seen an uptick in pushy/demanding customers? It seems a lot of people forgot how manners were supposed to work while they were locked away in their basements.
There's been a lot of pressure on service jobs lately, and it wouldn't be surprising at all if people wanted to walk away from trying to put on a happy face.
If Disney has a legitimate labor shortage, their methods for correcting it are pretty simple: stability, benefits and MORE PAY.
