For each hourly DLR CM, the company spends ~$39,000 on entry benefits.

For each hourly WDW/Florida-site CM, the company spends ~$55,000 on entry benefits.

All of those Cast ID entries, Maingate uses, and Comp Tickets, really adds up, lol. And this is assuming each CM only receives two comp tickets, and only visits their Home Resorts with their Maingate.
My take on that: The company knows this and wants to make sure you know it too, hence the "Disney Difference" campaign they rolled out right before I left. That way they think you won't miss the medical benefits for FT, PT, and CR-25 CMs that they started taking away around the same time.

Things may have changed in the last 2-1/2 years, so if I'm wrong please correct me.

Can't speak on what medical bennies were back then but I would believe it. The CR medical plan blows chunks and I was not FT long enough to find out.

Interesting. Can you share how you got your numbers with the rest of the class? :)
