Walt Disney World and its musicians have reached agreement on a new six-year labor contract.

Officials of both Disney and the American Federation of Musicians Local 389 described the contract talks as quick, amicable and satisfying, though neither side would disclose any terms.

The union membership ratified the deal Wednesday night. The previous contract expires Saturday.

The pact covers 100 full-time and 400 part-time musicians who provide live music throughout the Walt Disney World parks and resorts. They range from the marching band that parades down Main Street at Magic Kingdom, to the house band at the Grand Floridian Resort hotel, to live show musicians.
