Wouldn’t be an issue if people got paid properly for their work
This is one place where that actually wouldn’t fix this problem. There is finite capacity at the parks. Disney keep raising the prices as a a disincentive to go. People keep paying the higher prices. source
If everyone was paid properly, that would mean even more people going to the parks.

They COULD alleviate the overcrowding problem by simply not letting in far more people than can be comfortably accommodated, but where’s the profits in that? 🤦
They already tried that, they kept the park reservation system in place that they put in during Covid for a period of time post Covid to limit the number of people in the park far in advance of the actual day. This was done because they let go a whole bunch of staff because of Covid then couldn’t get them back so had reduced ability to soak up visitors pre Covid.
It was an incredibly contentious choice as it meant to had to plan the exact park you wanted to go to up to 12 months in advance of the date you going. Disney has become a planning nightmare, its a hobby in its own right to manage properly and if you don’t do it then you have an objectively worse experience than those who do during any remotely busy time.
I think it might solve the problem. The parks might get even more expensive to curb demand, but people could afford to save up for it instead of going into debt and demand would be tempered by the fact that people could afford to do all sorts of other things with their free time.

Perhaps a lottery scheme would work, like hunting permits. That seems to manage a constrained resource.
