What kind of pay are these people on? That's a tough job, effectively a wandering, always in-character actor.
Not enough, i'm sure. They must love the theatrics of it, and I'm sure that making little kids' days is definitely a big plus for them.
That video of Gaston being challenged to push ups by a rando and then completely demolishing him is still one of the best things.
Edit: Dammit, Keym lol
Disneyland employees are paid very, very poorly: https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-disney-employee-wages-20180301-story.html
Not hard.
Hell, employees cried when they were told they were chosen to work in Galaxy's edge. They look for the hardcore fan.
Which of the performers earn more money, Universal or Disney World? They are probably not getting paid enough, either way.
probably not
These aren't livable wages, as I posted above, about 3/4 of Disneyland employees can't afford rent.
That's shocking. It's always depressing when you see a company making billions upon billions not managing to pay a pretty small number of staff like this a decent wage. Bring them into the fold and share the wealth. Even just a little and it would change their lives.
Disneyland ≠ Disney World
I know it's not really much of a difference, but I imagine Orlando is a cheaper place to live than SoCal.
Disneyland = LA
Disney World = Orlando
Your article was about land and cited annual salaries as $37k/year. The issue there is LA and housing costs.
$25k/year in Orlando is not a lot of $$$, but it is about 48% above min wage. You can also get a new build home in the area for $250k, which is affordable for a household making $50k/year. Something you'll not find in LA.

Equity performers get paid much better than the actual Meet and Greet characters. Equity performers are usually on the Castle Stage, and in Parades.
It's a shame because the Meet and Greets and there with people all day making individual magic and they really need to be recognized.

Uh....if you have no other bills, no kids, no taxes, cook everything you eat, and manage every $ you spend...
Then maybe. It would take 1 1/2 weeks pay just to pay the mortgage payment (assuming insurance/escrow included). If you're single/a couple it would be a challenge, but you might could pull it off.
I wouldn't recommend buying a $250k± house unless your household income is $100k/year.

How many times have we told you NOT TO CHEW ON THINGS.
NO MILKBONES FOR YOU TODAY. We're not mad - we're just disappointed.
Rule of thumb (SF excepted here) is 33% or less of salary to mortgage or rent is affordable.
50k income (assuming household of 2 earners) is 4167 gross/month. A $225k, 30 year at 3.25% is $979/month. At 3.50% it is $1010. That's closer to 25% of income. It's also cheaper than avg rent in Orlando.
Your fully loaded estimate of 1.5 weeks pay is just over the 33% mark, but not by much.
Unless I've done my math wrong (which is totally possible), you're not rolling in the dough with that income, but at Florida housing prices you're also not homeless.
As others have said, it isn't a lifetime job, but it is an entry point to better paying gigs. I know people who worked at the parks and none got rich doing character acting, but they enjoyed doing what they did and had decent mobility within Disney for other postings and promotions.
Edit: Not the same actor in the video
Yep, tried to launch one from his head, totally safe.
