Actors who dress up as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and other characters to greet visitors at Hong Kong Disneyland are getting pay raises and longer breaks, the park said Sunday, following complaints of work-related injuries, low pay and quick turnarounds between shifts.

Hong Kong Disneyland said in a statement it will increase the monthly base pay of the character performers by 11 percent from $1,160 to $1,300 starting June 1.

"This adjustment is the result of benchmarking efforts internally ... with the external Hong Kong market and with other Disney parks," the statement said.
