I've seen this mentioned a lot on the internet. I assume someone out there has confirmed it rather than just spread the rumour? And checked that it was the theme park staff rather than, say, IT staff?

When we were there a couple of weeks ago we saw a lot of new staff being trained. So, although Disney might have laid off some staff recently they are also still hiring as well. Admittedly, the training of new staff can cause queues to slow down and vehicle loading to take a bit longer.

BTW, we were talking to some folks from Maine and it seemed they had a Spring Break week off in March and another week off in April. They implied that happened in a lot of places near where they came from. I didn't realise US schools had weeks off in April a month after Spring Break.
