After unions representing workers at Disneyland in Anaheim called out low wages and homelessness, more than 2,700 members of Unite Here Local 11 ratified a new five-year contract.

The new deal will raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and raise wages 40 percent over the next two years for workers in Disneyland's three hotels.

But not all workers at Disneyland will get a raise.

Workers United Local 50, which represents 6,500 food service workers in the "Magic Kingdom," will continue to make a $12 minimum wage and face contract renegotiation in 2020.

The website for Local 50 currently announces a monthly food bank that provides free food for members if they show their Disneyland identification card.
