Disney replaces ‘fairy godmothers’ title at parks with gender-neutral ‘apprentices’

Disney has replaced the title of “fairy godmothers” for gender-neutral “apprentices” at dress-up boutiques at its U.S. theme parks in an effort to be inclusive, according to the parks' websites.

Cast members at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disney parks, who help children transform into their favorite Disney characters with make-up and costumes, were previously called “Fairy Godmothers in Training.” Now they are called “Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices."

“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,” third-party Disney blog Streaming The Magic said.

The boutiques give makeovers to children, ages 3 to 12, to transform them into princesses or knights. The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom at both parks will reopen Aug. 25 following pandemic closures, according to their websites.

LOL. But when Amazon did Cinderella, they had a stereotypical, flamboyantly gay man as the “fairy godmother.” Woke corporations don’t know which direction to go in.

I wonder what the title “Miss America” will be changed to?

I mean, both Miss and America are verboten to the woke...

Well, who actually still wants to go to Disney parks anyway? I’d go to Knott’s Berry Farm well before Disneyland.

I wonder how the “fairies” feel about that. Sounds “homophobic” to me.

I’m serious. Short Disney. Maybe a while, but they are killing Disney.

Boy, the term "bikini bulge" will mean a different area now, eh?

Disney World has become Dystopia Land. Who would want to pay money and spend valuable family vacation time there anymore.

The magic is gone. It's become a worthless swamp.

Why don’t they just call them Groomers? That’s gender neutral.

The Disney fairy-godfather will travel in an unmarked white panel van.

40 year old childless adults who never grew up and have disposable income. That’s their new target demographic now.

How much further can they go in destroying Disney? I mean....put a fork in it...... Yet it is hard to dissuade some people that their childhood memories aren’t still there somewhere.

Reminds me of the joke where the kid asks for and is expecting a pony for Christmas. On Christmas morning he wakes up to a pile of manure under the tree and with great glee dives in and starts digging saying, “There has to be a pony in here somewhere!”

Go woke, go broke. Screw Disney. My grandchildren will never have anything to do with Disney. My daughters agree. No Disney tv, movies, toys, or vacations. It is absolutely sick to force this transgender evil on innocent children. Everyone that works for Disney needs to fight against this crap, otherwise you should be lumped in with child abusers. Even if you do nothing, you’re still going to lose your job. Real Americans are going to see to that.

A lot of people are going to ask that very same question. “Am I going to spend buckets of money and spend my valuable vacation time going to dystopian Disney?” I think the answer will increasingly become, “No.” Disney will increasingly descend into giant malls or Chuck E. Cheese’s, complete with brawls and a whole lot of despair.

Disney was good and wholesome, the demonic left had to kill it. And they will.

Just shut the whole Disney thing down as a good idea turned perverted.

“what the title “Miss America” will be changed to”

Nonbinary baby birthing person has a nice ring to it.
