ORANGE COUNTY, CA — Roughly 100 Disneyland cast members — including a limited number of salaried positions — were laid off on Tuesday, Oct. 28.

The decision follows recent price increases on single-day tickets and top-tier annual passes.

The company attributed the cuts to its need to recalibrate the company after significant hiring post-COVID to ensure guest experience and future positioning.
