Last month, an agreement was reached to raise the minimum wage for Cast Members at Disneyland Resort, and now, it’s happening at Walt Disney World too. After nearly a year of negotiations, a number of Orlando labor unions have come to an agreement for a minimum wage raise for Cast Members over the coming years.
Disney and the Service Trades Council Union announced the agreement this weekend which will raise the minimum wage to $15 by 2021. This is going to happen for the around 38,000 union Cast Members currently employed at Walt Disney World.
The minimum wage rise will take place on a ladder system over the coming years and happen as follows:
- December 2018 – Up to $11 per hour
- September 2019 – Up to $13 per hour
- October 2020 – Up to $14 per hour
- October 2021 – Up to $15 per hour
In addition, the Unite Here unions did reveal that Disney is going to pay the $1,000 bonus to unionized workers who were previously denied it under an older contract agreement.

As of this time, the deal is expected to be fully approved in September and have an expiration date of 2022.
