Walt Disney World Cast Members are now addressing guests as “friend,” rather than sir or ma’am in the latest effort to promote inclusivity.
The neutral “friend” moniker allows Cast Members to address individuals without assuming their gender identity. Similar changes have been made around the resort, such as the switch from “ladies and gentlemen” to “dreamers of all ages” in the pre-fireworks announcements. Some Cast Members had already elected to use “friend” when they address guests, but it has become commonplace over the last few weeks.
In 2021, Disney announced the addition of “Inclusion” as a 5th key, which serve as the guiding principles for company culture. Since then, similar changes, small and large, have been made across the corporation, and the parks have been no exception.
Exactly what I was thinking.
no different than using specific pronouns...
The only smart thing Disney seems to have done since Iger was in charge is not raise the Disney+ price like Netflix and ruin itself.
Otherwise, you don’t often see such a death wise and insane hatred for their customers.
Remind me not to take my grandchildren to Disney World.
No one was ever excluded from Disney World...It’s called...buy a ticket.
This will never suffice because it fails the alphabet mafia’s primary objective - submission. They demand that you give up a thousand years of convention in favor of lunacy. Then, when you accede, they’ll demand an entirely new set of nonsensical pronouns.
It’s all designed to be “Heads I win, tails you lose”
Well it is the happiest place on earth. SMH
Ditto.
Terry Pratchett.
“He was the kind of man for whom the word ‘friend’ had an ominous ring. Such as, ‘so, do you want to live, ‘friend?’’”
They do seem to be on that path. Yet we can hope that puchback from the public may divert them back to good sense.
Don’t take your grandchildren to Disney World.
I live 2 hours from there and I wouldn’t go if I was given free lifetime access and free transportation.
C’mon, man!
Brandon will never change
Thanks for the heads-up. I’m a man. I dress like a man and want to be addressed as a man. Nothing more and nothing less. So I’ve already got my badge ready for my next visit to Disney World.
My first thought.
