Abigail Disney Voices Her Opinions on Walt’s Legacy and Bashes the Disney Company

Filmmaker and activist Abigail Disney, granddaughter of Roy Disney (Walt Disney’s brother and co-founder of the multi-billion dollar company), has been pretty vocal lately on her grand-uncle’s legacy.

She has been upfront and direct with her views on income, social inequality and even the working conditions for Disney’s theme park employees.

Today, the heiress has become known as the “woke Disney Princess.”

Abigail Disney Took a Visit to “The Happiest Place on Earth”

Disney Parks are renowned for being the happiest places on Earth. However, according to the company’s employees, this is not the case as workers struggle to make ends meet.

 Abigail Disney wasn’t aware of this before she made her most recent trip to the Anaheim park, and her visit changed how she viewed her great-uncle Walt’s legacy forever.

She Heard a Call For Help

Abigail Disney checked up on Disney’s employees and its working conditions following a Facebook message from one of their workers. According to the Disney heiress, this message was followed by a number of similar messages by various others employees.

What she would discover would force her to call out Disney and its working conditions. 

Disney Employees Are Anything But Happy

In an interview with Yahoo in July 2019, Abigail Disney explained how one of the messages wrote, “I don’t know how I can maintain this face of joy and warmth when I have to go home and forage for food in other people’s garbage.”

She Left Disneyland Livid

The grand-niece of Walt Disney himself said she left her meeting with the Disney employees “livid” because of the lack of respect and support the workers were getting from her family’s company, which left her ultimately questioning the nature of Walt Disney’s legacy.
