As reported elsewhere, according to a union agreement, roles typically held by Cultural Represenraices will be filled by cast members from other areas of WDW until a time when staffing returns to normal and they are needed at their original locations. No timeframe has been given. It also appears that these redeployed cast will be wearing the pavilions national costume that are only supposed to be worn by hosts from that country. Each pavilion has a small amount of full time cast that originate from the host country and are expected to remain in their locations.
