Here's a (growing) list of small businesses run by Disney Cast Members. This is a great way to help support many of the CMs that were furloughed and have now been laid off. The list also contains services and other initiatives working to directly help and support CMs. There is a link on the sheet to email for additions, corrections, etc. as well. It’s constantly being updated!⁣ ⁣ Repost: @tiffmink ⁣#castmembersAREthemagic #disneycastmembers #castmembers
