near Epcot, Orlando, 2015 |
The Washington Post Magazine has a feature-length story
today, heavily illustrated with photographs, “I Didn’t Make It”, about a Disney
World waitress, called a “cast member”, who had worked there for fourteen
years. She had emigrated from Brazil in
2006. She has two daughters, one of whom is autistic.
The layoffs came in late October with “Dear Cast
Member” letters.
The article is by Greg Jaffe, photos by Eve Edelheit,
videos by Drea Cornejo.
The severity of Florida’s second wave, when people went
indoors for air conditioning, and now the third wave, have apparently led the
layoffs to be permanent.
Yet, in six months or so, business might be close to
normal again if the vaccination program works.
Toward the end of the enclosed video the woman says she
always knew she was in a very privileged position for a very special company.
The article did not link to a personal fundraising
page.
