It’s free “Park Passes” Not “Free Park” Passes. These were free passes given to employees to be a me to enter the park with their families for free.
Eh, might not be that black and white.
Who’s to say that these firefighters chose the Disney district over a neighbor because of the better benefits? Maybe they have young kids who they want to be able to enjoy the parks on a regular basis without spending so much. Maybe this benefit is worth an extra 30 minute commute each day. Lots of reasons to chose one job over another.
Let’s not just shit on everybody who loses a nice thing. I doubt these people are fighting fires solely for the paycheck.
Then make that perk part of their pay and not free passes. Then it would benefit all of the firefighters, not just the ones who want to take their kids to Disney.
I think that’s a valid argument, but it’s more expensive for Disney.
Let’s say you run a company and offer all of your 50 employees free park passes valued at $1500 for the public. Just giving them the passes costs you little. There’s some administrative overhead and the costs of park usage, but those are mostly spread across your million or so visitors paying for park access.
You can alternatively give the 50 employees the value of the passes. That’s $75k. Could be the price of another firefighter or two part timers. Maybe three interns. It’s a cost that could maybe be applied elsewhere.
Or the executives split a bonus. Who knows.
Disney will just give them the passes directly because that’s an easy PR win that Ron is teeing up.
Except they’re basically enacting rules against accepting gifts like this, saying it’s unethical. Like a bribe.
Ahh, their fuckery knows no bounds. My mom asked me what I thought of DeSantis today. I’m like…do you have an hour?
Bro, you must have been really tired when you read this article.
For this headline/article, and US english in general, park passes do not refer to parking. The passes referred to would also not be used while they’re on duty.
Not being a firefighter per se, but choosing to work as one for Disney.

“These people aren’t being effected enough for me to care.”
Cool story bro. You aren’t involved enough for me to care about your opinion. ❤️
“Entry to the park” pass
