Disneyland Performers Unionize in Overwhelming Vote

More than 1,700 character and parade workers in Anaheim join the Actors’ Equity Association seeking better pay and conditions.

The union vote saw 953 in favor and 258 against, with a 78.7% approval rate.
New union members include those who dress as characters and perform in parades.
Workers are advocating for higher pay, fairer scheduling, and improved safety measures.
Disneyland’s character performers were previously an exception in the park's largely unionized workforce.
The union will negotiate with Disney for better wages, benefits, and job security.
