Disney Removes ‘Boys and Girls’ Greeting

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

You know when you’re waiting for a performance or fireworks at a Disney park and they say, “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls?” Well, Disney has now changed the automated greeting to be more inclusive.

This change is one of many ways Disney is working to promote a more inclusive experience for all guests and families.

Disney’s chairman of Experiences and Products said in a statement, “We want our guests to see their own backgrounds and traditions reflected in the stories, experiences, and products they encounter in their interactions with Disney. Inclusion is essential to our culture and leads us forward as we continue to realize our rich legacy of engaging storytelling, exceptional service, and Disney magic.”

Changes to Disney’s language have already begun to roll out and will continue to change across Disney Parks globally.

She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
