Disney Needs to Review their Hiring Policies

One of the things many may not know is that we have a ton of information beyond what we have shared regarding the Evil Queen controversy at Walt Disney World. We know identities, we know things about exceptions made... and, of course, we're not going over the line and putting information out there that could put someone in danger by doing so. We would never do that. We are always extremely careful in treating others the way that we would want to be treated.

Sharing a family photo from Walt Disney World is about as far as we've gone, even though we could go much, much farther.

That said, what we know has led us to believe that there's a real problem with Walt Disney World's hiring practices and we think they should strongly reconsider whatever policies they have regarding background checks and social media posts by their cast members. In researching so much information that has been sent our way, we've found that a number of folks hired by Walt Disney World are expressing themselves in ways that surely the company could never justify nor tolerate. For example, one cast member we've been examining has a social media account that features Ariel topless in their public media gallery. We think that's a real problem that needs to be addressed by the company. Surely Disney disagrees with their characters being expressed in a profane way by their very own cast members.

It's for these sorts of reasons that we're going to continue exposing what is going on with Disney Parks and their casting choices. I'm not sure I want a cast member with a profane display of Ariel being near children. After all, Ariel is portrayed as a sixteen-year-old cartoon character in the movie. So it's beyond unacceptable that people interacting with young guests at Disney World have this sort of thing on display.

Now understand, as we dig into this story, there's going to be huge pushback. Already we've seen a massive (and inorganic) effort to slime the WDW Pro Channel and That Park Place. We know it's synthetic because of the commonality of the replies. Fifty percent of responses should all replicate the same idea. That's not the work of individuals giving their authentic reaction. But the reaction is commiserate with how big the story must be to whomever wants us to shut up. We won't do that.

Now, more than ever, we're going to need your support. We're looking into absolutely vile behavior that may have been allowed to exist and foment within the cast member ecosystem using the new Inclusion Key as a safeguard against appropriate scrutiny of extremely bad behavior. It's important that we expose what's going on now (in a safe way for all), lest we arrive a a future point where this has gone on unchecked and results in a bad actor being around kids when they definitely should not. I'm purposefully speaking in generalities here and not aiming this at any particular cast member. We're looking at patterns, not naming individuals. And, as always, we have no negative desire towards anyone. But we do want to keep kids safe.

Your pal,
