Disney's 'fairy godmothers' who dress up children as princesses and knights at its U.S. theme parks are now called 'apprentices,' a gender-neutral term which is part of its efforts to be more inclusive, the company said on Friday.

In this Jan. 22, 2015 file photo, visitors walk toward the Sleeping Beauty's Castle in the background at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif.

The new title applies to cast members working at its Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique locations, where they transform children into iconic Disney characters with makeup, nail polish, hairstyles and costumes.

The decision reflects a wider effort by Disney to update its parks to be more inclusive. Historically, Disney has been specific about Cast Members' appearance — favoring a clean-cut look, to stay consistent with the company's family-friendly image.titled "A Place Where Everyone is Welcome" he was committed to updating attractions, modernizing the parks' values and changing the guidelines for how park employees look and dress.

This world is so F**d why is everyone listening to a .00005% of the population? Who are frankly sick.

Psychopaths

mediafailure on this article

Ffs 🤦‍♀️

Disney has become a place for pedophiles and child groomers to gain employment. Why on earth would anyone take their child to a place like that.

What the

Meaningless. Disney execs are Republicans because they like tax breaks. They pretend to be “woke” for the PR benefits and to sell more products. They are only about money and profit at the end of the day.

So stupid!!!!

Stupid

Seriously!! Time to sign up with Elon to volunteer to colonize Mars!!

Inclusive to .02 pct of the population. But alienating the other 99.98 pct.

Do I have to call my Grandmother 'gender neutral apprentice' now! Granny was much easier!

Go woke, go broke

This reminds me of Trump's TV show. I do not think that's a good thing.

Oh gawd ...they can’t help themselves. Go woke - go broke. Bravo Disney. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 keep doubling down on the insanity

Ridiculous

The world has gone to hell SMFH

We have become a pathetic species 🤪

Garbage. They are what they are. Why not write new stories instead of ruining the old ones.

Why not the EpsteinIsland that the media called a conspiracy for 20 years? SaveOurChildren BoycottDisney 🍕🤐

I hope this is a joke! Or is stupidity just running amok!?

Way to kill the magic for kids, in favor of raging lunatic ideologues who don’t matter.

Lmao conservative chuds melting down yet again

Haha yeah this was something that was keeping most awake at night…

It’s a kids thing they still believe in unicorns and fairies including Cinderella. this isn’t to make adults feel mushy inside

Being an athiest I'm just happy they took god out of it!!!!😁😁😁😁😁❤❤❤❤❤

This shit has to stop. Change everything for .07% of the population. Cancel culture has to stop

F u c k wokeness and irrationality! Bye disney!

Just keep it as Fairies, Feefees, Fairly Interchangeable.

Not good enough Disney !!! we want Fairy God ‘birthing person’…. Us 0.00001% of the population will be holding a protest (on twitter) to boycott anything Disney (even though everything you touch turns to sh&t)….. MoreWoke TryHarder

OMG the crazies are taking over common sense. Let's rewrite every peice of the past

Jaw FCS. Move on people! So what are they going to call POOH now! Sh-t!

oh go smoke a tail pipe of a F150

the radical left strikes again, these people are crazy !!

The theme of Disney is lunacy.

Great..ill never go back then..since they treat my kids like he is stupid..

This gender neutral crap needs to go the hell away.

The woke-ness continues

Mickey Mouse wants a sex change. He has the high pitch voice already. This generation is the downfall of society today.

So in an attempt to include people who are gender neutral, the answer is to exclude characters who aren't? Why not leave tradition while adding new and interesting characters? Or is new and interesting too radical for today's entertainment industry?

Trannies will be livid.

Lmfaoo the slippery slope never fails.

This is how the left eats it’s self lol

Oh come on that going to far .

Wokies ruin everything.

I have canceled my Disney+ account. I encourage others to do the same. If we don’t speak with our wallets the wokesters win. Fight back.

jfc

gross... done with disney products

Fragility and stupidity

Disney is forefront in the woke agenda to destroy the traditional family unit

🤡🌍

Not really the same is it?

Can’t believe anything you read from news outlets these day. Fix this CTVNews.

LoL... Go woke to go Broke!

they will always be fairy,s in my world and life

all grown up eh america disney fairy

FIX THIS ERRONEOUS HEADLINE NOW

Get woke Go broke

Ridiculous. Just add a “ fairy godfather “

This is absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary. When does it end?!?!

That makes absolutely no sense what so ever.

So fucking stupid. The male fairies are the ones wearing masks and they can't make any woman's dreams come true

Wonder how RonDeSantisFL feels about this?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he won't win the war with Disney

Short this stock.. Go woke go broke. me get rich

Enough already!!!!!!! overit

Before everyone gets mad, the title does not reflect what is stated in the article. 'Fairy Godmother' is staying as part of the title. According to what is written in the article, they are just changing the word 'F.G. in training' to 'F.G. apprentice'.

They’ve lost their collective minds!

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Ffs 🤦🏽‍♀️

The headline that's causing folks to set their hair on fire here appears to be wrong or misleading. According to the article, Disney isn't getting rid of the term 'fairy godmother', they are just changing 'in training' to 'apprentice'.

Disgusting. boycottdisney

What is this world coming to? seriously? If someone wants to jump of a tall tower b/c they believe they can fly should we let them? Mother nature is probably laughing at humanity at how STUPID we are becoming

'This way cast members that might not identify as female can still be part of the process to dress up & style the children without having to refer to themselves as a female Disney character,' according to the announcement. 👏👏👏

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤡🌎

😂😂 what a joke

Genuinely curious why they decided to change 'Godmother' to 'God Mother'. I'm not even sure how to parse the new title. Are they saying that the character is a fairy, god, and mother? (From the replies here so far, I don't expect to get help from the assorted mouth-breathers.)

Glad I went as a kid in the early 2000s. Won't be taking my kids to this woke shithole.

The sickness of the demented:

I will never take my children there. Gross

That istotally fucking stupid

Progressives are misguided regressives.

Disney will soon out-woke themselves out of big business

FFS!

🙄 Disney

More woke garbage.

Orth American people have gone crazy.. all the people who identify other then male or female .. are they the ones going to fight a war The answer is no. Enough is enough

All this does is further fuel angry and hostility. Wokeness has gone too far already and is ripping the fabric of society apart. Nothing good has come from it. Nothing ever will.

Buzzkill

So cancelling women. 🤔 Aint gonna help the ticket sales folks🤣

of course

Fudgepacker Fort is a better name .

This seems pointless and stupid. There is nothing gender insulting about 'godmothers' In this case, 'wokeness' has gone too far.

🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

Just fucking stop with this stupid bullshit already. Everyone is fucking sick of it.
