On Thursday, Disney announced in a statement that it would be forced to furlough some employees due to the economic impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic on the parks.
"The COVID-19 pandemic is having a devastating impact on our world with untold suffering and loss, and has required all of us to make sacrifices," the company said. "Over the last few weeks, mandatory decrees from government officials have shut down a majority of our businesses. Disney employees have received full pay and benefits during this time, and we've committed to paying them through April 18, for a total of five additional weeks of compensation.
According to Disney, the furlough process will begin on April 19, and those impacted by the measure will remain Disney employees with full healthcare benefits. The cost of employee and company premiums will continue to be paid for by Disney, and those enrolled in Disney Aspire will have continued access to the education program.
"Additionally, employees with available paid time off can elect to use some or all of it at the start of the furlough period and, once furloughed, they are eligible to receive an extra $600 per week in federal compensation through the $2 trillion economic stimulus bill, as well as state unemployment insurance," the statement added.

PARISDENNARD I sure hope they dont mean Cinderella
PARISDENNARD And when they open again , people will flood their gates like cockroaches. When there are no longer consequences, when no one is shunned for bad behavior, welcome to America today. Why do what is moral.
I hope Disney is paying them. Disney can afford to.
