Disney World Cast Members will get paid time off if they contract Coronavirus

Disney World

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Walt Disney World Resort reports that they will provide paid sick leave for their workers if they any of them get COVID-19. A union representing Disney employees were given this information recently.

The news arrives as Walt Disney World prepares for the partial reopening of Disney Springs. Last week, we announced Disney’s plan to reopen Disney Springs on May 20th, 2020. It’ll be only a select number of third-party stores for the first phase of reopening, but more stores and restaurants will follow in the weeks ahead. After weeks of being furloughed, the first wave of Disney Cast Members are returning to work to help Disney Springs resume its operations.

The Orlando Sentinel continues to highlight the information that the union shared with them. If requested, Disney will provide three face masks plus a thermometer to its employees. Also, Walt Disney World Resort plans on installing plastic barriers at all cash registers. The current plan is to promote touchless payment transactions for Disney guests. Safety measures such as these will help protect the health of both Disney workers and guests.

We will provide updates on the phased reopening of Disney Springs as more information becomes available.

Disney Fans Magically Transform their Pool into the Jungle Cruise from the Disney Parks

Disney Fans Magically Transform their Pool into the Jungle Cruise from the Disney Parks. The Stuckey Family from Houston, Texas has been feeling a bit stuck in quarantine and decided to turn their pool into the world famous Jungle Cruise to help pass the time. The whole family got involved with shooting their own rendition of The Jungle Cruise including many of the iconic jokes from the popular attraction in the Disney Parks.

“Family transforms backyard pool into the Jungle Cruise!! The Coronavirus quarantine got to us! Take a wild ride through the Jungle with a miniature skipper and his crazy crew! Come with us and enjoy our Jungle Cruise! See what a family of six can make when they have a love for Disney an iPhone, wireless mic, pool, gimbal, and a fog machine — and end up spending far too much time at home by themselves. Can anyone else say stir crazy!!?”

You can check out the full video below:

The World Famous Jungle Cruise has been a beloved Disney Parks attraction since the opening of Disneyland on July 17, 1955. The Jungle Cruise remains so popular it recently sparked the creation of a film of the same name! Check out the synopsis for the film below:

“Dr. Lily Houghton (Emily Blunt) enlists the aid of wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff (Dwayne Johnson) to take her down the Amazon in his ramshackle boat. Together, they search for an ancient tree that holds the power to heal — a discovery that will change the future of medicine.” The Jungle Cruise is scheduled to release in theaters July 31, 2021.

We love seeing all the fan made videos featuring our favorite “at home” Disney attractions! Which videos do you love the most? I am partial to the Splash Mountain video myself, hehehe. We would love to hear your choice in the comments. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Disney!

#DisneyMagicMoments: Favorite Recipes for Your Halfway to Halloween Celebration

For many of us, the Halloween season is a favorite time of year with all the creative costumes (for humans and pets!), festive parties, over-the-top decorations, and, of course, fabulous food!

In honor of our #Halfway2Halloween celebration, I was excited to feature a couple of my favorite Disney Halloween and fall recipes from years past. (Full disclosure – I love anything pumpkin!)

The challenge? I could not decide which were my top two favorites so I turned to my team to select their favorites. The challenge? We had a six-way tie!

So here you go – in no particular order – our favorite autumnal Disney recipes (plus a just plain adorable sugar cookie!) to celebrate Halfway2Halloween. And a bonus – the Pumpkin Crème Brûlée recipe is new and exclusive to Disney Parks Blog. Click the links below each photo for the downloadable recipe. Happy Halfway2Halloween!
