Walt Disney World Offering $1000 Signing Bonus to New Cast Members

Walt Disney World is now offering a signing bonus to new housekeeping and kitchen Cast Members.

Disney, like many companies, is struggling to find employees post-COVID. In an attempt to recruit new workers, Walt Disney World is offering a $1000 signing bonus to housekeeping staff and line cooks if they stay on the job for at least 90 days.

The hourly pay for these roles are $16 per hour for housekeeping and $18 per hour for cooks. 

About 33,000 of the more than 41,000 members of the Service Trades Council Union have returned to work, according to Matt Hollis, president of that worker coalition. Walt Disney World also recently reinstated the Disney College Program.
