News New Changes Coming to the Disney Look 2021

When I pay more running a business my labor costs go up and surely I will be passing on these costs to the customers.

When I’m paying over $100 to enter the place, then also paying €15 for a poor burger, the cost has already been passed onto me

Disney has among the highest starting wages for front line jobs in the area. Many of the hotels and smaller attractions pay several dollars an hour less.

Thank you for sharing this info that probably many don't know about but the bullseye is always on WDW.

Get the cast to make it again. I'm sure they will make it right if you give them immediate feedback.

Yet they still can’t attract enough people to work there without lowering their dress code standards

Only if the market will allow you to do that.

Indeed. By FY 2027, the minimum wage at WDW will be $20/hour. Housekeepers will be at $24/hour.

? I could order 100 burgers from Backlot Express and they’d all be exactly the same. Horrible value, poor quality. But I expected it because I’m in a theme park. It’s not the casts fault the foods overpriced, whether or not they have a tattoo on their wrist

Many other options to eat at , Backlot isn't one of my favs.

I think that says more about the growing sense of entitlement of the average American front line worker than it does about Disney.

Mentality of entitled
Break rules
Demand higher pay
It amazes me of some kids now being awarded " participation trophies ". That did not exist in my time as a kid.

Wages went up as prices and wages went up everywhere else. They need to pay more than you’d make in your local fast food restaurant and then workers will be more likely to put up with whatever rules Disney wants instead of simply leaving

Disney has their rules for employment therefore rules for wage. If one does not agree with the rules for rate of pay, one is free to find employment that is agreeable for both wage and rules.

What happened to do a good job and we'll consider a salary increase based on merit?

That wasn’t my original point, just an example

But if there is a growing sense of entitlement amongst the average American front line service then Disney needs to react to that, and that is what they have done

Oh absolutely I agree entirely. And people did do just that. Hence why they changed the rules for what their employees could wear and look like.

 

[Nubs70]

The argument that was made is that fast food jobs don’t have strict dress codes - that Disney is more strict than the average fast food restaurant. In addition to chik-fil-a and in-n-out, I was pointing out that Starbucks has a more strict dress code when it comes to nails and jewelry.

The point is not which makes more sense, the point is that workers at this pay level can be expected to follow a dress code.

Doctors, Lawyers, Electricians, Millwrights, etc.... many professions have dress codes whether implicit or explicit.

Oh, so when WDW raises prices, I can blame you for your high wardrobe standards!!!

Unless you are around 100+ years old, that is a total lie.

This one always bugs me - the kids weren't handing trophies to themselves. Lazy parents who didn't want to deal with their kid being upset about not having a trophy invented that so they didn't have to parent.

I would say that Disney security is looking sharper than in years past. Do you remember back in the day when their costumes look like milk truck delivery staff/ Good Humor ice cream guy?
