Multiple Disney Cast Members, Security Guards Injured During Forced Entry Into Paris Park
Paris France June 5 2023 Today marks the third strike at Disneyland Paris for Cast Members demanding better wages. The strike was not met peacefully as Disney third-party security personnel and Cast Members clashed at one of the entrances to the Park this morning, leading to multiple injuries, according to reports.
Today marks the next Cast Member strike at Disneyland Paris as protests for better pay have led to hundreds of Cast Members staging a peaceful walkthrough strike throughout the Park.
The strike comes just weeks after Disney Cast Members at Walt Disney World reached a new deal with Unions and Disney regarding higher wages, leading this European Disney Park to follow suit.
Disney Park even went as far as sending out a warning to Guests visiting the Park on the days of the strike, letting them know about the possibility of numerous disruptions throughout Disneyland Paris.
Wait times for attractions throughout the Park reached new heights during the strike, leading to many angry and disappointed Guests on vacation. According to Thrill Data, the wait times for the most popular attractions at Disneyland Paris they reached four times higher than usual just a few days ago.
The Dream…and Shine Brighter parade was canceled this morning as Cast Members staged a sit-down on Main Street, U.S.A. With this closure, Guests can expect rides, attractions, and more to continue to be disrupted as the strike continues.
Before the Disneyland Paris Cast Member strike even began, Disneyland Paris dispatched their third-party security forces to ensure a smooth entry into the Park from the Cast Members as they gathered in the hundreds. Not much is known except that a forced entry was reported moments after the gates opened, leading to Cast Members and security forces clashing.
In a video posted by @unsadisney on Twitter, security guards take a moment to breathe and treat what seems to be a wound following their clash with Cast Members. But they weren’t the only ones injured, as numerous other Cast Members were reportedly treated.
Although the tweet is in French, Google Translate was utilized to capture the following:
The donor or principals of this masquerade must be fired The whole world sees the real truth and reality of this Direction at Disneyland Paris.
One video, in particular, is circulating on the internet, showing the moment Cast Members clashed with security guards before the strike occurred.
Our thoughts, prayers, pixie dust, and more are with the Cast Members who are waging war against unfair pay in Paris.
