Union officials say no Disneyland workers plan to help block traffic, but there will be a few dozen "community leaders, students and worker leaders" as well as the union president and officers from the Walt Disney World theme park in Florida, Briceño said.

Disneyland representatives say management is frustrated that union leaders have insisted on negotiating their contract in the press. Disney spokeswoman Lisa Haines said none of the proposals under discussion are final, and that the next negotiating session is scheduled for Aug. 22.
