Living in Orlando, where Disney World is located, Wilde said she knows young people who are Disney cast members, but who don’t earn enough to afford the Disney experience at the full ticket price. “It’s a world problem, it’s not a Disney problem,” Wilde said. “The world is just so expensive after the pandemic.
