And Disney just leveled up the meaning of being a ‘woke’, “fairy godmothers” has no gender because it could be one of the drag queens.
Groomers at Disney said it is ditching “fairy godmothers” for more inclusive, gender-neutral titles at dress-up boutiques inside its theme parks — and some fans are less than enchanted with the news.
With this, I think Cinderella’s “fairy godmother” will apparently wake up too.
Disney’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Shop cast members will now call themselves “Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices” – instead of “Fairy Godmothers in Training” – according to New York Post. The small but whimsical boutiques are where young girls ages 3 to 12 get to transform into princesses or knights. It has been one of the park’s most successful attractions.
Disney said it is set to reopen the boutiques on August 25th after another COVID-19 shutdown. They also noted when cast members (their term for employees) return, they will call themselves “Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices” instead of “Fairy Godmothers in Training.”
The Disney blog, “Streaming the Magic”, also reported on the matter.
The article noted noted, “This way, cast members who might not identify as female can still be part of the process of dressing and styling the kids without having to identify themselves as a female character from Disney.”
Of course, not all Disney fans were thrilled about the gender-neutral changes to the company’s boutiques. Multiple individuals across social media criticized the company for participating in “woke” culture.
“This is a mental illness…the magic is gone,” wrote another.

The changes come as Disney moves to make their theme parks more inclusive and politically correct. Last summer, Disney omitted “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls” from its parks.
Meanwhile, most Disney workers oppose left-leaning efforts to advertise inclusion, such because the latest change to the “Fairy Godmother”-themed titles on the Bibbidi Boppidi Boutiques at Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California igniting web outrage, a Disney solid member informed Fox Information Digital.
