strife and freedom to continue to build a nation in which
democracy, debate and truth will always reign. On this, our

The United States of America a Happy Birthday, and we salute
each and every American who fights to uphold those ideals

Parks Lays
Off 28,000 Employees
"In light of the prolonged impact of COVID-19 on our
business, including limited capacity due to physical
distancing requirements and the continued uncertainty
regarding the duration of the pandemic – exacerbated in
California by the State's unwillingness to lift
restrictions that would allow Disneyland to reopen - we
have made the very difficult decision to begin the
process of reducing our workforce at our Parks,
Experiences and Products segment at all levels, having
kept non-working Cast Members on furlough since April,
while paying healthcare benefits. Approximately 28,000
domestic employees will be affected, of which about 67%
are part-time. We are talking with impacted employees as
well as to the unions on next steps for
union-represented Cast Members."

Happy Independence Day America!
In our hearts, in our minds and in our actions, we work
daily to uphold the principles on which this great nation
was founded. Liberty: for no one can constrain or remove our
belief in our government by the people, for the people and
of the people. Freedom: freedom from fear, freedom from
strife and freedom to continue to build a nation in which
democracy, debate and truth will always reign. On this, our
244th Independence Day, the staff of INTERCOT wishes
The United States of America a Happy Birthday, and we salute
each and every American who fights to uphold those ideals
which we hold so dear.

Splash
Mountain to be Reimagined as The Princess and the Frog
Splash Mountain – at both Disneyland park in California
and Magic Kingdom park in Florida – will soon be
completely reimagined. The theme is inspired by an
all-time favorite animated Disney film, “The Princess
and the Frog.” The story will pick up after the final
kiss, and join Princess Tiana and Louis on a musical
adventure – featuring some of the powerful music from
the film – as they prepare for their first-ever Mardi
Gras performance.
