On April 19, all United States-based Cast Members and employees in non-essential positions will be furloughed. This is all due to the temporary closures of the parks amid the coronavirus pandemic.

A letter was sent out to Cast Members with details on the temporary layoffs coming to U.S.-based executives, salaried, and non-union hourly Cast Members of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products.

Disney is going to maintain the health and insurance benefits coverage during this time. The furloughs to Cast Members are being considered “short-term.”

Cast Members will be paid through April 18, as previously stated by The Walt Disney Company.

New negotiations between Disney and unions are expected to begin on Friday.
