Why are you allowing pieces like this on this site now? It’s politically charged and uses a lack of a response as motivation for the piece. You are using Fox New clips to tell your story which is showing that you are intentionally trying to make this politically motivated.
You also states Disney BANNED the use of pronouns when that is not true. You link this statement to an article that says they changed Ladies and Gentlemen to Everyone…those are not pronouns and that is not a ban.
Yeah I keep seeing this on thier Twitter aswell seems there trying to enrage the right against disney. Most likely the person who runs the site is a far right person
You know, even after the whole genie+ debauchery that we faced that nearly ruined our vacation a couple weeks ago, I was still thinking MAYBE I would look into a vacation plan. Because my little sister really likes disney, and had hoped to take her again with a better experience. But this political ludicrous bs is out of control. Keep your sexual nonsense AWAY FROM OUR KIDS! Shame on you disney! Dump your ridiculous CEO Chapek, make disney affordable again, and bring back the magic. And for the love of Pete, leave the children alone. Price and princess must be allowed. There are only 2 genders, so stop pushing your agenda. I’m done with disney if this continues, I’ll put my money elsewhere.
Unfortunately, the sexual nonsense did not start with Chapek it started way back with Eisner and continued with Iger. I do not like Chapek, he is all business and not looking at Walt’s vision, but he did try to stay out of the politics but CAVED to the outspoken small percentage of employees (most of whom are from California)
This is an abomination to what Disney has stood for, all these years. To eaches own and the decisions people want, as far as their sexual preferences. But to force this bs on people’s young children is way out of line. Disney go to hell with pushing your agenda on people who strongly disagree.
I agree with Totally Fed Up Woman! Leave our kids alone. They are boys and girls. Our boys and girls want to see Princes and Princesses. It’s like Disney really hates kids with all of these changes. No more Disney for me and we have gone for decades to Disney. Our son and daughter-in-law got married at Disney. It’s not the same Disney today. Disney has ruined the experience.
I agree with you 100% this crazy the think about Disney is about Disney princesses and princess take that out what’s left of it the heck is the matter with people those days wanna change everything JUST LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS 😡 I’m more then sure mr Disney won’t agree with you people trying to change everything for the worst
Sorry but what Fox reported is true . Disney top Officials were captured and recorded saying everything Fox reported . If you are not so closed minded you can watch yourself .
Just in general this is all going too far politically motivated or not. The Disney company, parks and productions, was intended for children and families (if you don’t believe me, look up Walt Disney’s history) not for the woke, select few. I urge Disney to break off at least one of it’s production companies and continue making traditional children oriented content and not all of this inclusive bullcrap that should be targeted more for teenagers and adults. At this point we have not liked any of the Disney movies for some time and for the first time in over 10 years my family chose not to visit a Disney park on vacation this year, and we’re considering canceling our Disney Plus account.
There is no way to please everyone. Changing the traditional characters is not the answer. Create new characters and storylines that are inclusive. People will choose which ones most align with their beliefs. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. If something offends you, move on. It’s called freedom of choice.
Sorry but what Fox reported is true . Disney top Officials were captured and recorded saying everything Fox reported . If you are not so closed minded you can watch yourself .
I’m in the process of selling my DVC points more so because of raising prices and perks like Fast Pass now being Lightning Lane and no longer free. This morning I canceled Disney+ due to all this nonsense. And I never even knew Splash Mountain theming was considered racist until it was dredged up. Lots of great memories with my kids on that ride.
I agree , just returned over $2000 of Disney merchandise , for family we had planned on wearing while at Disney . Not going to Disney now , and will not spend a Dime on anything Disney .
Disney is now just wallowing in its own feces. As someone who had a been a admirer of the magic of Disney since I was a child in the 80s, all I can say is that Disney can take all their woke garbage and shove it up its inclusive rectum. Watching Disney slowly burn itself down has been a joy and a privilege.
You need to wake and and get your head out of the sand . Disney top executives were on video about this . Also what right do they have to interfere in a states law . Do you think it is OK to teach 4 year old about sexual anything .
No this piece is spot on. Disney is doing away with all the traditional gender terminology and the family values they are known for. It’s sad that they are being controlled by a small fringe group. Gender dysphoria affects .007 percent of the population yet they seem to have all the power now. It’s sad and they say they want things to be fair but how is that fair?
Disney is not inclusive. Now they’re just focusing on a specific group.
You’re born female or male and that’s that. If you chose to become something else then that’s a different story.
Inclusivity shouldn’t be only for sexual orientation or preference or gender, it should be for religion, physical disability, emotional. Autism, psychological disorders and so much more than I would run out space here.
Disney is becoming ridiculous already!
We should respect everyone regardless of likes, and preference.
Twisted world we’re living in nowdays! Everything gets twisted making and creating more chaos and hostility.
I agree with you, inclusivity is for everybody and unfortunately disabled people and children of that nature get left out for the lgbtq community which is not even enough of the population as the disabled are.
While we’re at it, no more men and women either! Everybody in Disney from now on is an amorphous blob with no color, no gender and no personality. We are all the collective! Isn’t that so nice??
Why not? Because a very, minute segment of society doesn’t like it. We have to quit letting the nit on the flea wag the dog’s tail. If I was a Disney shareholder, I would call for a house cleaning at the next shareholder meeting.
Why ? When they say ladies and gentlemen , boys and girls of all ages , that does include everyone . If your a man or woman ,girl or boy . If you are gender fluent and identify as man or woman that particular day you are included as they say both, if your a man or woman who changed sex you are included, if you are a gay man or woman , again included as they say both .
Omg enough is enough, there are boys and girls, men and women, you want to be gay fine, but stop with the whole nonsense of trans this and trans that. And stop forcing this crap down everyday Americans throats. Disney use to be wholesome and now it’s a smut show apparently trying to manipulate children to be something their not using peer pressure.
I fully agree, this woman’s kids are trans and pansexual I bet if they are young enough they don’t even know what pansexual means, just because your kids are that does not mean our children want to be or should be taught or exposed.
I totally agree with you! Let people be. Don’t force it on kids. I miss the wholesome Disney and why take away strong princesses and prince’s from kids who like that!
They got rid of practically every perk of staying on property, they keep raising prices and you get less for it, and things that used to be free (fastpass+) they now charge for ((and genie+ doesn’t even work as good as fastpass). Now this nonsense. Sorry, but princes and princesses are actual things and they helped build Disney. As Disney is now obviously run by accountants the only thing that will get things back to normal is a boycott.
Disney has been doing their gay day for a long time. When gays said they just want to get married we all said it was a slippery slope. It has become a perversion. I am so through with Disney. The so called magical place on earth is no more magic for me.
Care to explain how saying “welcome friends” or “dreamers of all ages” forces anything on anyone? They’re not following that up with “by the way, we’re doing this for trans people, so you should all go be trans now.” Jesus, why are you guys so fragile that you demand every interaction you have with the world confirms your narrow viewpoint? Talk about a bunch of triggered snowflakes.
Jason… it is not just the change in greetings it is the push to include sexual content into the movies for children including all types of sexual content, as well as getting politically involved demanding the state follow what they want not what the people of their state wants. It is the big picture this is a place for children and a lot of the children go there to feel special look at the little girls face light up when a cast member calls them a princess!
Ladies and gentleman does include every one . If a person is gender fluent they can pick which greeting they want , gay men and women are identify as gay men and women , so included . People who have sex changed included since the greeting says ladies and gentlemen . Seems to me the only fragile ones are people like you , who want only your narrow and prejudice viewpoint pushed on all . By the way you seem full of hate and hostility , did you have to call people names because they disagree with you .
You can bet that he’s rolling in his grave at all of this pronoun, binary bull crap. Why can’t people just treat people kindly regardless of how they identify? Stop all this political inclusiveness and just be human
I am with you! I am a huge Disney fan! But, Walt is rolling in his grave! They need to go back to the beginning and remember why Disney began- where people can go and forget the real world! Where everyone is a Prince or Princess!!!!!
(Everyone has the right to do whatever they want but Disney doesn’t need to bring it into the parks or movies)
Everyone here who is getting mad at disney for being more inclusive needs to leave. It shows that some people won’t accept that not everyone identifies as a female or male and for people to say there are only two genders and those are the only ones we should ever use needs to re think life and be more accepting
Wow what are you going to stop watching marvel if they decided to make a character who is trans and uses they them pronouns or if pixar makes a queer character we need more characters like this too many disney main characters are straight and thats not fair to kids who are queer and need a good character they see themselves in
Thank God all the people who have logic and see the insanity and see that Disney is going so far extreme left with these insane and absurd business practices. The science factually proves when you are born in this world you are either male or female. No one has a problem with Trans so stop with the insane force of Gay and Trans propaganda. You are no longer Disney, you have become an extreme left propaganda business that has abandoned it loyal fan base. Disney is no longer Disney without princesses.
Sold my stock. Had plenty. Have been going to DW for near 30 years from once to three time a year. Family has been strung out on Disney what seems like forever. !00’s of thousands spent over the years. We are finished with Disney. Big big mistake for Disney to go political and cater to sniveling winers instead of the people, the families that the company was built on. Gutless management that can’t take a little heat and MANAGE their way through it. Bye Bye Disney!!!
That would be the worst thing Disney could ever do. It would be the nail in their coffin. Stop catering to one group and just leave things as they are. People need to stop being so damn woke and let kids have their childhood
Did you really just say that? In kids movies???? Are you a kid? I highly doubt it. This is nothing more than early perversion/sexual abuse to young children with that agenda. Let kids be kids — you are born with girl or boy parts (unless there is deformity) and have no clue any different until this big world tells you different. I have an adult step-daughter who is gay and thinks this is wrong as well and she even dresses more on the masculine side, but has no intention of changing her sex or very feminine name. It will ultimately boil down to when myself and everyone who has spent 1000s upon 1000s of dollars every year on Disney vacations boycotts going and giving money to anything Disney and then these “few” can’t afford their tactic/agenda. Trust me there are not enough of the agenda pushers to keep Disney in business without all of us who believe this is WRONG/GROSSLY INSANE and know Walt would NEVER have let this happen.
First, learn how to spell. I never had a problem with gay marriage, the gay or trans lifestyle, having kids…none of it. But you’re starting to force it on people. I’m single with no kids. How about I force on ALL Americans that they can never marry….never have kids…and must always live alone. How do you think that would go over? And yes…you are acting woke.
Think again it is! One group of people should not be above everyone else, as I said before if that’s who you want to be then have at it but stop telling all the rest of us to embrace it and help YOU change the world because it’s never going to happen!
I’m a “SHE”, my husband is a “HE”. This is the final straw. When Disney removes the terms “Prince” and “Princess”, I’m done with Disney after 35 “magical” years plus 5 more horrible years.
I just had an idea. Two parks in the USA. Have your California park cater to the LGBTQ etc. population and have Disneyworld cater to families. Transfer the handful of employees at Disneyworld to Disneyland where they can be all together with like minded people and this would allow the Family man a place in Florida to take their little ones for good wholesome fun. The woke on the west coast and all the happy families on the southeast coast. An Einstein moment?
Stop trying to cram this woke crap down my throat. Stop trying to cater to the 4 to 5% of the population that wants to change the world. Just like Washington DC, Disney corp. needs a total house cleaning. How about we go into the stores throughout Disney and tell them to take every prince, princess, Mickey (male), Minnie (female) and every other overpriced gender article off the shelves? Let’s see how corporate would handle that? I have had it with this bull crap. Disney, go back to the way you used to be please?
I don’t think prince and princess should be removed. Just need to know for example, some men think they are a princess or queen. I don’t think the he, she should be removed but also allow others pronouns to make more inclusive. To me removing these actually takes away
Disney is really pushing it too far. Every day is something else that just makes me say “WHAT”! OMG this is just ridiculous. A princess is a princess is a princess. Same with a prince. Are we going to re-write all the movies now or just ban them? If you don’t want to be a princess then don’t dress up as one. I personally want to be addressed as a she, her, ma’am, Ms. I am not everyone’s “friend”. You can identify as anything you want to; I don’t care. But for the majority of the world, pronouns still exist and are accurate!
DONE. Just done. Making at least 50% of characters LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ or whatever it is today is clearly ridiculous. Why there needs to be a sexual preference quota for characters that cater to (or USED TO) families should be beyond anyone. Did anyone ever really think about what the characters were doing in the bedroom? If they were, they need therapy. Intensive therapy. Taking away terms like “ladies,” “gentlemen,” “boys” and “girls” was where I’d heard it all – or so I thought. This latest garbage about princes and princesses is actually almost as laughable as it is sad. Disney should just strike a match and burn itself down. It has no business making millions and millions off the good Disney name anymore.
Its LGBTQ+ not whatever you typed 😒
We almost got a queer movie but because of people like you disney changed it Luca would have been great as a queer movie
That would have been a Travesty, I wouldn’t let my child watch a queer movie, this is what I’m saying why do you have to force people to make movies, tv, teach it in schools, just give it a rest
Disney now wants to cater to 5% of the country and screw the other 95%. They have become too woke and are ruining the experience. Feel sorry for the kids, no more princes or princesses. What a joke for the woke.
And you don’t represent most of the community you claim to represent. Showed your comments to a friend of mine who…yes….is a gay man. He was disgusted and came right out and told me that you don’t speak for the majority and people like you are making it worse for the community, not better.
Enough is enough stop shoving crap down our throats! Disney used to be a wholesome escape from the world now they are erasing the magic and what God created.
Bore off! King, Queen, Prince, Princess are roles that have existed for millenia, they have nothing to do with the whole trans/non-binary agenda that’s being forced on us at the moment. Tell a story that involves a monarchy, such as the majority of fairy tales, you have these titles, like it or not. Don’t erase history for the sake of a few.
Sorry, this is a long one but…
I beg of you all do your research!
I have not responded to any of these articles till now as I have been looking into all the information out there, I could find, don’t cherry pick what others have cherry picked for you! Go to the Disney website reimagine tomorrow, this is where the statement of 50% comes from, look at the rest of the content for that website, this website is aimed at inclusion it is not meant to only include LGTBQIA+ individuals. Unfortunately, the LGTBQIA+ community within Disney appear to be claiming it for their own! This needs to stop this was started to include ALL UNDERREPRESENTED groups, Cultural minorities, individuals with disabilities, individuals with cognitive delay those on the autism spectrum anyone that feels ‘different’ .
From the website:
“We believe that forging meaningful connections with our consumers contributes to the growth and viability of the Company, so we purposefully champion a multitude of voices and perspectives.
Our Intentions
To establish inclusion standards across all Disney General Entertainment content.
By 2022, 50% of regular and recurring characters across Disney General Entertainment scripted content will come from underrepresented groups.”
I would like to point out that the page with this statement includes a picture from the Pixar short “Loop” about an autistic girl.
I am sorry but if I am in the parks and see a little girl dressed up as a princess I will still address her as Princess that has always been a magical moment for me and for those little girls to feel special in the moment!
I am not saying I am happy with the direction Disney is going, they need to stay out of politics! They have a great situation in Florida with the Reedy Creek Improvement District referred to as “Special Act of the Florida Legislature” on the Reedy Creek Website which has been in effect since 1967 when the first annual meeting was held in May of that year. I am NOT a lawyer and do not understand everything in that document, but I have heard Governor DeSantis has been looking into rescinding that (no I don’t know if that is even possible but watch your back).
Lastly Please read the Florida House Bill 1557 From the beginning! It is not easy to find the full ‘law’. Again I am NOT a lawyer and do not pretend to understand all of this but, as an adult with common sense it seems reasonable to me that if a child (no matter what age) starts to question how they feel whether it be depression, anxiety, sexual orientation, eating disorders,… the first person to be informed should be the PARENT no matter whether the parents are a single parent, 2 women, 2 men, or a man and a woman. When a “health class” is offered to children the parents should also have a say in how much information they want their child to receive, they are the best one’s to know the mental ability of their child to handle the information. Some children have unknown deficits in understanding social information!
For those of you saying that this opens the child up for abuse at home, let me quote from the law, under section #2 “This subparagraph does not prohibit a school district from adopting procedures that permit school personnel to withhold such information from a parent if a reasonably prudent person would believe that disclosure would result in abuse, abandonment, or neglect, as those terms are defined in s.39.01.” To those who think this is also opening up teachers for lawsuits for saying the wrong thing… section # 7 states that the school has 7 days after a report from a parent to resolve the issue and within 30 days if the concern is not resolved the school is to provide a “statement of the reasons for not resolving the concern” Basically to me this means that the school needs to do their just diligence to be sure parents concerns are being addressed, isn’t that what we all want is to be heard?
Okay that wasn’t all! I would like some information does anyone out there know of another accessible handicap/family friendly vacation spot for a 20 something year old that likes fast rides but not over the top (not as intense Hollywood studios) We will need easy accessible transportation as wheelchair accessible vehicle rentals are RIDICULUS.
I just hit the unsubscribe button. This site is all about starting a fight in the comment section be it about masks, Florida legislation, Minnie Mouse and her new outfit, or Splash Mountain. I urge you all to hit unsubscribe.
Wow, my family and I are no longer being included anymore, as we go by boy/girl/he/she/his/hers. My wife is my queen and my daughter is my princess. Excluding some to include others is not being “inclusive”. Quotas for sexual orientation or race are themselves discrimination. Guess we’ll have to move our loyalty to Universal.
No cisgender person needs anything from disney you guys have had everything since the beginning lets the queer community get time in the spotlight its only fair
I really do hope they don’t drop the prince and princess titles. It takes away from their characters stories if their titles are erased. Also, I think they’re going a bit too far with this gender inclusivity thing. I’m pretty sure we as a people don’t really need all of that.
Levi,
I am so sorry you are hurting! Please note that you are not the only group of people out there underrepresented. I hope you find some love in your life and for others out there in need of care and understanding. You do not see what is going on inside everyone you meet just because they may look like a ‘well-adjusted white straight’ individual you do not know that for a fact! Nor do you know what horrors they may be hiding inside. Society does not need to change to make you feel better if that were the case then a lot of things in society would be different for me, I do not expect society to change for me to feel better about myself. I know who I am and what others call me or think about me does not change that! I hope you find peace in yourself and in the world around you so that you can start accepting yourself!
Levi, At last you give the real reason behind your madness as you are mentally disturbed. Go get help if not for you then for the ones who love you. No such thing as Trans just mentally sustained people.
If disney continues to take away genders and does away with prince and princess terms I will NEVER have a thing to do with any of their brand. I am a huge disney fan that goes to Dosneyworld often but enough is enough. God created Man and Woman.
Levi,
I thought you didn’t believe God exists? Now you are saying He didn’t create genders? If you truly do not believe He exists then it doesn’t matter but if you would like the truth please look in the Bible in the book of Genesis right at the beginning.
I truly feel sorry for you! I hope you are getting some help for all the hurt and anger you are feeling.
Why would it be specifically said that she wants 50 % of Disney characters to be LGBTQ and transgender? That’s 100% discrimination against all others. The best candidate should be one chosen not their sexual preference status. Omg so rediculous ! After everything being reported about Disney I’m on the fence about cancelling my sept trip.
Being on the fence perpetuates the problem. Take a stand with so many others and let Disney survive on the super minority and the business it brings them. We all know the money will change things and fast. We all need to sacrifice our addiction to Disney in order to bring it back. Cancel, please everyone cancel.
we have a developmentally delayed adult daughter who loves Mickey Mouse. She has absolutely no ability to understand anything in terms of gender or any of the crap that is going on in this world. It breaks our heart to take away the very few things she enjoys in life. I’ve always loved Disney as well. However it is making me nauseous at this point. Do any of these needy 5 % of people ever think about anyone other then themselves ?
I am in the same boat. My son is 19 years old and loves going to Disney. He has no understanding about any of this. I am so torn. I have always loved Disney but hate giving my money to them, but there are so few things he can enjoy due to his disabilities. These people need to stop and think about the children and not validating their lifestyle choices.
Sherri,
I know my comment above is long but please read it you may understand where this came from! She is taking something that was meant for inclusion of multiple underrepresented groups and claimed it as her own! go to the site mentioned in my above post!
Be nice…. Thank you for responding to my comment and for your insight. I have never given my opinion on any of these forums before as I just don’t interact in this way. Nobody really ever wants to hear an opinion am I right? However , I do have an adult disabled daughter who lives Mickey Mouse and yes she is also autistic. None of the things going on in the world have any bearing on her whatsoever . I am a huge Disney fan and like to visit the parks yearly I’m reading so much negativity that it worries me to spend the amount of money needed to go to Disney and have a decent trip. I don’t care what a persons gender or sexual preferences are or what pronoun they use. Whomever fits the criteria for a position at Disney is the one who gets picked. I also have a daughter who is a professional dancer and travels around the world doing performances. She’s been rejected innumerable amounts of time because she didn’t look like the charter or was too short or wrong skin color. This is the only point I’m making. By people wanting to be “ inclusive” based on their gender identity or sexual preference or whatever else they are actually causing a segregation and making them stand out more negatively.
Sherri…your story hit home with me as my husband, and I are in a similar situation as you we also have a trip planned for early September. We are adult foster care providers and the young man we are caring for loves the rides and the music at the shows. I have been aa advocate for individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities for a long time! I wish there was a way for us to get in touch with each other privately 🙂 I think we might actually become friends 🙂
An article about nothing, written by an idiot. I thought it was supposed to be a joke but it is just a lot of nonsense about something Disney has never stated they would do. Suggest the author find a hobby.
I am totally disgusted by this idea. Has everyone forgotten that the first successful animated film was about a princess? Why are we catering to a very small minority?
The stupidity of Disney is disgusting and immoral. It’s Men and Women. Princess or Prince. That’s it. None of them are homosexuals nor should they be portrayed as such.
Ok if they are ridding princess and prince then make it just the ones who are no longer a princess or prince make them queen or king or remove princess from the title of like Mulan and pocahontas they never truly were princesses and should never had the title as one. For the other part make it queen Anna, queen Ariel, king Eric etc….
I have nothing against equality, but leave a child out of this don’t use emotional blackmail, school is hard enough with peer pressure now you have to add other things in a child’s life. Let’s let kids be kids, cause it seems like at one time I wanted to be president and then an astronaut. Children do not need this Walt is turning over right now for ruining the dream he had. Disney seems to forget what else is going on in other countries. Don’t give into peer pressure
Ok this leftist woke crap has to just stop. Just because this Disney corporate president’s kids are part of the (overly vocal) minority in this country doesn’t mean that all of a sudden every Disney kids movie needs characters representing said minority. And for the last time, it’s not the “don’t say gay” bill. That’s only I. The warped mind of you leftist progressives. It’s a bill designed to protect parents rights in the classroom. If you actually took the time to read the bill you would know this. Nowhere in the bill does it forbid anybody from saying the word “gay”.
Hopefully they will remove all princess merchandise so as not to encourage kids to identify with them. If they don’t, they’re hypocrites. They’ll keep selling it to make money. Such a shame to create this mess about a bill that protects very young children. Should be a left or right issue. It’s for the children. SMH. Unbelievable
Stop trying to cram this woke crap down my throat. Stop trying to cater to the 4 to 5% of the population that wants to change the world. Just like Washington DC, Disney corp. needs a total house cleaning. How about we go into the stores throughout Disney and tell them to take every prince, princess, Mickey (male), Minnie (female) and every other overpriced gender article off the shelves? Let’s see how corporate would handle that? I have had it with this bull crap. Disney, go back to the way you used to be please?
Appalling! Must everything be slanted toward being politically correct and inclusive? As for Ms. Burke, she is ridiculous. Stop using Disney as a personal platform to affirm your children’ sexual identity. We really don’t care.
Can everyone just stop with this nonsense already. Just STOP! It’s become BEYOND ridiculous. YES, there are Princes and Princesses! This world is just CRAZY anymore! Find some REAL issues to work on people! GET A LIFE!
Disney even is canceling the second most famous characters from their company the Disney Princesses. Can’t wait for the zella the non-binary Cinderella with they/them/their pronouns and finds their Royal person at the ball with help from their fairy god birthing person 😂😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
This doesn’t have to be a political trend, if it was a character from frozen it would be Hans of the southern isle for example. If we come up of a list of Prince or princess names for those without a fictional character title this would give them a actual name.
the level of bitterness and temper tantrums in this comment section is one of the most pathetic things i’ve ever seen (i bet every single person here that’s complaining about this is,also complained about them taking down the song of the south ride and replacing it with a princess and the frog version. ya’ll are adults). if you don’t want to be in a park filled with “woke lefties” then shut up and stay hope while everyone else is having fun without you. adapt or get left behind.
Sekhmet…Excuse me but some of us are trying to have reasonable conversations here! Some of us would like to see more than just ONE group of people take over the narrative. This is not about inclusion this is about wanting to change everything to make one group of people happy. My comment above to Levi about hurting may appear to apply to you as well! Please remember there are small children and individuals that don’t understand all this HATE in the park. We are talking about them not about the adults! If the ‘adults’ don’t like that the parks are for the kids, then maybe they shouldn’t be there? I understand that the “Song of the South” can be upsetting and not appropriate however most people don’t even know what the movie is! I welcome a “Princess and the Frog” ride but in again there lies a problem look at the title ‘PRINCESS’ Also I love the song Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah there is nothing controversial in the song itself it is very upbeat and happy song.
Why are we changing things for the minority of the people? The majority of us know what we are. Princes and princesses exist in real life, so are we going to take away their titles too. The terms are not offensive. Society is raising a bunch of sissies. People complain, which lately that is all they seem to do, and everything that has been around for generations has to change.

Wjhy do Adults continue to try and destroy childhood? SnowWhite WAS a princess,same for Sleeping Beauty. How about asking Kids how they feel about this and unless the response is 100% “change it ” leave it alone and this should be how Disney aproaches ALL things pushed ONLINE by Adults.
So does this mean I can put Cadillac emblems on my Chevy and the car dealer has to go along with it when I trade it in otherwise I can cancel them?
Why does everything the left touch turn to dust??
If Disney is going to ban the terms “Prince”/”Princesses”, then, they ought to just stop calling themselves “Disney” altogether. To get rid of “Prince”/”Princess” would be as idiotic as Gamefreak getting rid of Pokémon like Pikachu or Charizard. Princes & princesses are the literal foundation of Disney. Disney needs to cut the faux “inclusivity” crap & stay in their lane!
Comments for Disney May Stop Using the Terms “Prince” and “Princess”
Antonio
Why are you allowing pieces like this on this site now? It’s politically charged and uses a lack of a response as motivation for the piece. You are using Fox New clips to tell your story which is showing that you are intentionally trying to make this politically motivated.
You also states Disney BANNED the use of pronouns when that is not true. You link this statement to an article that says they changed Ladies and Gentlemen to Everyone…those are not pronouns and that is not a ban.
This piece is disgusting.
T
Yeah I keep seeing this on thier Twitter aswell seems there trying to enrage the right against disney. Most likely the person who runs the site is a far right person
Fed up WOMAN
You know, even after the whole genie+ debauchery that we faced that nearly ruined our vacation a couple weeks ago, I was still thinking MAYBE I would look into a vacation plan. Because my little sister really likes disney, and had hoped to take her again with a better experience. But this political ludicrous bs is out of control. Keep your sexual nonsense AWAY FROM OUR KIDS! Shame on you disney! Dump your ridiculous CEO Chapek, make disney affordable again, and bring back the magic. And for the love of Pete, leave the children alone. Price and princess must be allowed. There are only 2 genders, so stop pushing your agenda. I’m done with disney if this continues, I’ll put my money elsewhere.
Be Nice
Unfortunately, the sexual nonsense did not start with Chapek it started way back with Eisner and continued with Iger. I do not like Chapek, he is all business and not looking at Walt’s vision, but he did try to stay out of the politics but CAVED to the outspoken small percentage of employees (most of whom are from California)
Dayle
I agree! Shameful! Quit being political and just be Disney!!
Lady
This is an abomination to what Disney has stood for, all these years. To eaches own and the decisions people want, as far as their sexual preferences. But to force this bs on people’s young children is way out of line. Disney go to hell with pushing your agenda on people who strongly disagree.
Rroe
TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!
David
Amen to that , well said, we are in total agreement.
Ex Disney fan
I agree with Totally Fed Up Woman! Leave our kids alone. They are boys and girls. Our boys and girls want to see Princes and Princesses. It’s like Disney really hates kids with all of these changes. No more Disney for me and we have gone for decades to Disney. Our son and daughter-in-law got married at Disney. It’s not the same Disney today. Disney has ruined the experience.
Melaa
I agree with you 100% this crazy the think about Disney is about Disney princesses and princess take that out what’s left of it the heck is the matter with people those days wanna change everything JUST LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS 😡 I’m more then sure mr Disney won’t agree with you people trying to change everything for the worst
lindy
Sorry but what Fox reported is true . Disney top Officials were captured and recorded saying everything Fox reported . If you are not so closed minded you can watch yourself .
Dora
Just in general this is all going too far politically motivated or not. The Disney company, parks and productions, was intended for children and families (if you don’t believe me, look up Walt Disney’s history) not for the woke, select few. I urge Disney to break off at least one of it’s production companies and continue making traditional children oriented content and not all of this inclusive bullcrap that should be targeted more for teenagers and adults. At this point we have not liked any of the Disney movies for some time and for the first time in over 10 years my family chose not to visit a Disney park on vacation this year, and we’re considering canceling our Disney Plus account.
Levi
Oh so you think disney should just stay away from ever being inclusive cause thats selfish if that’s the case
Kraftymiss
There is no way to please everyone. Changing the traditional characters is not the answer. Create new characters and storylines that are inclusive. People will choose which ones most align with their beliefs. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. If something offends you, move on. It’s called freedom of choice.
John
I agree the people that have corrupted Disney are the ones to blame not the company itself.
lindy
Sorry but what Fox reported is true . Disney top Officials were captured and recorded saying everything Fox reported . If you are not so closed minded you can watch yourself .
Dustin Bollnow
You said it Antonio. Those pronouns are very important to us because they help us identify us to each other. Banning the use of them is unacceptable!
Angel
Girls and boys, that’s all
Gordon McRae
I’m in the process of selling my DVC points more so because of raising prices and perks like Fast Pass now being Lightning Lane and no longer free. This morning I canceled Disney+ due to all this nonsense. And I never even knew Splash Mountain theming was considered racist until it was dredged up. Lots of great memories with my kids on that ride.
lindy
I agree , just returned over $2000 of Disney merchandise , for family we had planned on wearing while at Disney . Not going to Disney now , and will not spend a Dime on anything Disney .
Carmine Crincoli
I definitely agree! It’s awful!
Sean
The hell it isn’t true, wake up!
Greg
Disney is now just wallowing in its own feces. As someone who had a been a admirer of the magic of Disney since I was a child in the 80s, all I can say is that Disney can take all their woke garbage and shove it up its inclusive rectum. Watching Disney slowly burn itself down has been a joy and a privilege.
lindy
You need to wake and and get your head out of the sand . Disney top executives were on video about this . Also what right do they have to interfere in a states law . Do you think it is OK to teach 4 year old about sexual anything .
Chris
No this piece is spot on. Disney is doing away with all the traditional gender terminology and the family values they are known for. It’s sad that they are being controlled by a small fringe group. Gender dysphoria affects .007 percent of the population yet they seem to have all the power now. It’s sad and they say they want things to be fair but how is that fair?
Luis
You Disney keep pleasing this radical left nonsense…
Even Rome fell.
Y.g
Disney is not inclusive. Now they’re just focusing on a specific group.
You’re born female or male and that’s that. If you chose to become something else then that’s a different story.
Inclusivity shouldn’t be only for sexual orientation or preference or gender, it should be for religion, physical disability, emotional. Autism, psychological disorders and so much more than I would run out space here.
Disney is becoming ridiculous already!
We should respect everyone regardless of likes, and preference.
Twisted world we’re living in nowdays! Everything gets twisted making and creating more chaos and hostility.
PC
I agree with inclusivity but their are real Prince/Princesses in this world. Not sure this is a good choice
Jennie
I agree with you, inclusivity is for everybody and unfortunately disabled people and children of that nature get left out for the lgbtq community which is not even enough of the population as the disabled are.
Angel
Amen Amen Amen
J
Good, we shouldn’t use gendered terms
Anon
While we’re at it, no more men and women either! Everybody in Disney from now on is an amorphous blob with no color, no gender and no personality. We are all the collective! Isn’t that so nice??
SVB
That’s a good way of putting it. Instead of male/ female let’s just call ourselves meat blobs!!
Be Nice
How will we know what restroom to use?
Dave
If you are operating by California standards they would encourage you to poop on main Street.
Bob
Why not? Because a very, minute segment of society doesn’t like it. We have to quit letting the nit on the flea wag the dog’s tail. If I was a Disney shareholder, I would call for a house cleaning at the next shareholder meeting.
lindy
Why ? When they say ladies and gentlemen , boys and girls of all ages , that does include everyone . If your a man or woman ,girl or boy . If you are gender fluent and identify as man or woman that particular day you are included as they say both, if your a man or woman who changed sex you are included, if you are a gay man or woman , again included as they say both .
Eric
Omg enough is enough, there are boys and girls, men and women, you want to be gay fine, but stop with the whole nonsense of trans this and trans that. And stop forcing this crap down everyday Americans throats. Disney use to be wholesome and now it’s a smut show apparently trying to manipulate children to be something their not using peer pressure.
Jennie
I fully agree, this woman’s kids are trans and pansexual I bet if they are young enough they don’t even know what pansexual means, just because your kids are that does not mean our children want to be or should be taught or exposed.
Erin
I totally agree with you! Let people be. Don’t force it on kids. I miss the wholesome Disney and why take away strong princesses and prince’s from kids who like that!
Charlie
They got rid of practically every perk of staying on property, they keep raising prices and you get less for it, and things that used to be free (fastpass+) they now charge for ((and genie+ doesn’t even work as good as fastpass). Now this nonsense. Sorry, but princes and princesses are actual things and they helped build Disney. As Disney is now obviously run by accountants the only thing that will get things back to normal is a boycott.
Bruce
Disney has been doing their gay day for a long time. When gays said they just want to get married we all said it was a slippery slope. It has become a perversion. I am so through with Disney. The so called magical place on earth is no more magic for me.
Jason
Care to explain how saying “welcome friends” or “dreamers of all ages” forces anything on anyone? They’re not following that up with “by the way, we’re doing this for trans people, so you should all go be trans now.” Jesus, why are you guys so fragile that you demand every interaction you have with the world confirms your narrow viewpoint? Talk about a bunch of triggered snowflakes.
Be Nice
Jason… it is not just the change in greetings it is the push to include sexual content into the movies for children including all types of sexual content, as well as getting politically involved demanding the state follow what they want not what the people of their state wants. It is the big picture this is a place for children and a lot of the children go there to feel special look at the little girls face light up when a cast member calls them a princess!
lindy
Ladies and gentleman does include every one . If a person is gender fluent they can pick which greeting they want , gay men and women are identify as gay men and women , so included . People who have sex changed included since the greeting says ladies and gentlemen . Seems to me the only fragile ones are people like you , who want only your narrow and prejudice viewpoint pushed on all . By the way you seem full of hate and hostility , did you have to call people names because they disagree with you .
Giles
I’m the gayest kid in my school and even I think this is stupidly gay. Enough already!
Lauren Jen
Male or female is the only option though?
First world people making their own fake problems.
Rachael L Olmstead
Disney will be losing one of their biggest fans, me. This is beyond ridiculous. What in the world would Walt Disney have thought about this??
SP
You can bet that he’s rolling in his grave at all of this pronoun, binary bull crap. Why can’t people just treat people kindly regardless of how they identify? Stop all this political inclusiveness and just be human
Connie
I am with you! I am a huge Disney fan! But, Walt is rolling in his grave! They need to go back to the beginning and remember why Disney began- where people can go and forget the real world! Where everyone is a Prince or Princess!!!!!
(Everyone has the right to do whatever they want but Disney doesn’t need to bring it into the parks or movies)
Levi
Everyone here who is getting mad at disney for being more inclusive needs to leave. It shows that some people won’t accept that not everyone identifies as a female or male and for people to say there are only two genders and those are the only ones we should ever use needs to re think life and be more accepting
Bruce
You are nuts. Check between your legs and let me know what you think then
Esther
All of you in the comments section are giving me hope that there are still sensible and wholesome people in the world. 🤎🤎🤎
Crys
If they do I will no longer support Disney.
Levi
Wow what are you going to stop watching marvel if they decided to make a character who is trans and uses they them pronouns or if pixar makes a queer character we need more characters like this too many disney main characters are straight and thats not fair to kids who are queer and need a good character they see themselves in
Bruce
Start your own gay channel then. Leave us the hell alone. We don’t have to conform to your BS
LeLevi
Wow someone woke up on the wrong side of life today what a homophic comment
Bob
😂😂😂
Mindi Voorhees
I for one would not let my child watch it no I’m not straight but I’m not going to push it upon my child
Tom
Thank God all the people who have logic and see the insanity and see that Disney is going so far extreme left with these insane and absurd business practices. The science factually proves when you are born in this world you are either male or female. No one has a problem with Trans so stop with the insane force of Gay and Trans propaganda. You are no longer Disney, you have become an extreme left propaganda business that has abandoned it loyal fan base. Disney is no longer Disney without princesses.
Levi
Omg person disney will still be disney even if they don’t have princess and princes and I’m glad that finally some big company is going down this road
Kenny
Sold my stock. Had plenty. Have been going to DW for near 30 years from once to three time a year. Family has been strung out on Disney what seems like forever. !00’s of thousands spent over the years. We are finished with Disney. Big big mistake for Disney to go political and cater to sniveling winers instead of the people, the families that the company was built on. Gutless management that can’t take a little heat and MANAGE their way through it. Bye Bye Disney!!!
Bob
Good for you. They are definitely going down the tubes!
JJ
That would be the worst thing Disney could ever do. It would be the nail in their coffin. Stop catering to one group and just leave things as they are. People need to stop being so damn woke and let kids have their childhood
Levi
We arnt being woke we just want queer representation in kids movies I don’t think that is that bad
Overit Mom
Did you really just say that? In kids movies???? Are you a kid? I highly doubt it. This is nothing more than early perversion/sexual abuse to young children with that agenda. Let kids be kids — you are born with girl or boy parts (unless there is deformity) and have no clue any different until this big world tells you different. I have an adult step-daughter who is gay and thinks this is wrong as well and she even dresses more on the masculine side, but has no intention of changing her sex or very feminine name. It will ultimately boil down to when myself and everyone who has spent 1000s upon 1000s of dollars every year on Disney vacations boycotts going and giving money to anything Disney and then these “few” can’t afford their tactic/agenda. Trust me there are not enough of the agenda pushers to keep Disney in business without all of us who believe this is WRONG/GROSSLY INSANE and know Walt would NEVER have let this happen.
Bob
Amen sister!
Marie
First, learn how to spell. I never had a problem with gay marriage, the gay or trans lifestyle, having kids…none of it. But you’re starting to force it on people. I’m single with no kids. How about I force on ALL Americans that they can never marry….never have kids…and must always live alone. How do you think that would go over? And yes…you are acting woke.
Angel
Think again it is! One group of people should not be above everyone else, as I said before if that’s who you want to be then have at it but stop telling all the rest of us to embrace it and help YOU change the world because it’s never going to happen!
Jeannette Pecchia
I’m a “SHE”, my husband is a “HE”. This is the final straw. When Disney removes the terms “Prince” and “Princess”, I’m done with Disney after 35 “magical” years plus 5 more horrible years.
Henry
This is gay
Levi
Thats rude to use that term as an insult
LeviPoop
Your response is gay.
Kenny
I just had an idea. Two parks in the USA. Have your California park cater to the LGBTQ etc. population and have Disneyworld cater to families. Transfer the handful of employees at Disneyworld to Disneyland where they can be all together with like minded people and this would allow the Family man a place in Florida to take their little ones for good wholesome fun. The woke on the west coast and all the happy families on the southeast coast. An Einstein moment?
Bruce
Then track the attendance. I would bet CA goes down the tubes.
Matt
Stop trying to cram this woke crap down my throat. Stop trying to cater to the 4 to 5% of the population that wants to change the world. Just like Washington DC, Disney corp. needs a total house cleaning. How about we go into the stores throughout Disney and tell them to take every prince, princess, Mickey (male), Minnie (female) and every other overpriced gender article off the shelves? Let’s see how corporate would handle that? I have had it with this bull crap. Disney, go back to the way you used to be please?
A Thiel
What a great idea, since most of the employees that have a problem with Florida are in California. That includes the executives. I would love that.
Ron
Sure we should. Male and Female that’s it. All this other crap is nonsense.
Bruce
Oooh!! Thems fighting words.
LeLevi
Your the one who is fighting im standing up for my community
Matthew
I don’t think prince and princess should be removed. Just need to know for example, some men think they are a princess or queen. I don’t think the he, she should be removed but also allow others pronouns to make more inclusive. To me removing these actually takes away
Jan
Disney is really pushing it too far. Every day is something else that just makes me say “WHAT”! OMG this is just ridiculous. A princess is a princess is a princess. Same with a prince. Are we going to re-write all the movies now or just ban them? If you don’t want to be a princess then don’t dress up as one. I personally want to be addressed as a she, her, ma’am, Ms. I am not everyone’s “friend”. You can identify as anything you want to; I don’t care. But for the majority of the world, pronouns still exist and are accurate!
Patti
DONE. Just done. Making at least 50% of characters LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ or whatever it is today is clearly ridiculous. Why there needs to be a sexual preference quota for characters that cater to (or USED TO) families should be beyond anyone. Did anyone ever really think about what the characters were doing in the bedroom? If they were, they need therapy. Intensive therapy. Taking away terms like “ladies,” “gentlemen,” “boys” and “girls” was where I’d heard it all – or so I thought. This latest garbage about princes and princesses is actually almost as laughable as it is sad. Disney should just strike a match and burn itself down. It has no business making millions and millions off the good Disney name anymore.
Levi
Its LGBTQ+ not whatever you typed 😒
We almost got a queer movie but because of people like you disney changed it Luca would have been great as a queer movie
Bruce
More letters are added every day it seems. How far do you want to take this?
LeLevi
To my grave
Patti
Which letter in the alphabet soup are you Levi?
Angel
That would have been a Travesty, I wouldn’t let my child watch a queer movie, this is what I’m saying why do you have to force people to make movies, tv, teach it in schools, just give it a rest
Kathy
As a DVC Member I would be curious to see how others feel about all of these political changes and how it would effect the”Welcome Home” policy!!!
EM
Disney now wants to cater to 5% of the country and screw the other 95%. They have become too woke and are ruining the experience. Feel sorry for the kids, no more princes or princesses. What a joke for the woke.
J
Oh let’s hope not. Kids (and a lot of grown-ups) love it.
Lemmy
Soon “they” will just use “it.”
When will those people ever learn?
Levi
You mean my people who use they them pronouns
Ugh everyone in these comments make me sick
Bruce
Then leave and crawl back into your safe space.
Marie
And you don’t represent most of the community you claim to represent. Showed your comments to a friend of mine who…yes….is a gay man. He was disgusted and came right out and told me that you don’t speak for the majority and people like you are making it worse for the community, not better.
AH
Then leave levi and do not come back.
GDilo
Enough is enough stop shoving crap down our throats! Disney used to be a wholesome escape from the world now they are erasing the magic and what God created.
Levi
God didn’t create disney and God isn’t real I hate when people use silly religion as an argument stop just stop
AH
Levi, Where is your proof that God is not real?
SVB
Burn in Hell woke boy, I mean girl, I mean he she him her they them……JUST BURN IN HELL!!

Shame on you, maybe if you had God in your life you would rethink all this nonsense
Thomas
Bore off! King, Queen, Prince, Princess are roles that have existed for millenia, they have nothing to do with the whole trans/non-binary agenda that’s being forced on us at the moment. Tell a story that involves a monarchy, such as the majority of fairy tales, you have these titles, like it or not. Don’t erase history for the sake of a few.
Jose
Stop the Madness
Be Nice
Sorry, this is a long one but…
I beg of you all do your research!
I have not responded to any of these articles till now as I have been looking into all the information out there, I could find, don’t cherry pick what others have cherry picked for you! Go to the Disney website reimagine tomorrow, this is where the statement of 50% comes from, look at the rest of the content for that website, this website is aimed at inclusion it is not meant to only include LGTBQIA+ individuals. Unfortunately, the LGTBQIA+ community within Disney appear to be claiming it for their own! This needs to stop this was started to include ALL UNDERREPRESENTED groups, Cultural minorities, individuals with disabilities, individuals with cognitive delay those on the autism spectrum anyone that feels ‘different’ .
From the website:
“We believe that forging meaningful connections with our consumers contributes to the growth and viability of the Company, so we purposefully champion a multitude of voices and perspectives.
Our Intentions
To establish inclusion standards across all Disney General Entertainment content.
By 2022, 50% of regular and recurring characters across Disney General Entertainment scripted content will come from underrepresented groups.”
I would like to point out that the page with this statement includes a picture from the Pixar short “Loop” about an autistic girl.
I am sorry but if I am in the parks and see a little girl dressed up as a princess I will still address her as Princess that has always been a magical moment for me and for those little girls to feel special in the moment!
I am not saying I am happy with the direction Disney is going, they need to stay out of politics! They have a great situation in Florida with the Reedy Creek Improvement District referred to as “Special Act of the Florida Legislature” on the Reedy Creek Website which has been in effect since 1967 when the first annual meeting was held in May of that year. I am NOT a lawyer and do not understand everything in that document, but I have heard Governor DeSantis has been looking into rescinding that (no I don’t know if that is even possible but watch your back).
Lastly Please read the Florida House Bill 1557 From the beginning! It is not easy to find the full ‘law’. Again I am NOT a lawyer and do not pretend to understand all of this but, as an adult with common sense it seems reasonable to me that if a child (no matter what age) starts to question how they feel whether it be depression, anxiety, sexual orientation, eating disorders,… the first person to be informed should be the PARENT no matter whether the parents are a single parent, 2 women, 2 men, or a man and a woman. When a “health class” is offered to children the parents should also have a say in how much information they want their child to receive, they are the best one’s to know the mental ability of their child to handle the information. Some children have unknown deficits in understanding social information!
For those of you saying that this opens the child up for abuse at home, let me quote from the law, under section #2 “This subparagraph does not prohibit a school district from adopting procedures that permit school personnel to withhold such information from a parent if a reasonably prudent person would believe that disclosure would result in abuse, abandonment, or neglect, as those terms are defined in s.39.01.” To those who think this is also opening up teachers for lawsuits for saying the wrong thing… section # 7 states that the school has 7 days after a report from a parent to resolve the issue and within 30 days if the concern is not resolved the school is to provide a “statement of the reasons for not resolving the concern” Basically to me this means that the school needs to do their just diligence to be sure parents concerns are being addressed, isn’t that what we all want is to be heard?
Okay that wasn’t all! I would like some information does anyone out there know of another accessible handicap/family friendly vacation spot for a 20 something year old that likes fast rides but not over the top (not as intense Hollywood studios) We will need easy accessible transportation as wheelchair accessible vehicle rentals are RIDICULUS.
Be Nice
Sorry correction not as intense as Universal Studios
Golfish
Give Dollywood a try!

Golfish…Thanks, I’ll look into that.

I just hit the unsubscribe button. This site is all about starting a fight in the comment section be it about masks, Florida legislation, Minnie Mouse and her new outfit, or Splash Mountain. I urge you all to hit unsubscribe.
Yudai
I agree. I come here for actual news, not the delusional ramblings of a person who can’t tell fact from fiction.
Dave
Wow, my family and I are no longer being included anymore, as we go by boy/girl/he/she/his/hers. My wife is my queen and my daughter is my princess. Excluding some to include others is not being “inclusive”. Quotas for sexual orientation or race are themselves discrimination. Guess we’ll have to move our loyalty to Universal.
Levi
No cisgender person needs anything from disney you guys have had everything since the beginning lets the queer community get time in the spotlight its only fair
Levi
If all you guys are mad at disney you should be mad at the state of Florida for their silly dont say gay law
Bruce
Exactly. Disney being inclusive doesn’t mean I have to go along and spend my hard earned money at there over priced park
Levi
Not wanting to spend money cause they are expensive is totally diffrent from disney being inclusive
Victoria Bell
I really do hope they don’t drop the prince and princess titles. It takes away from their characters stories if their titles are erased. Also, I think they’re going a bit too far with this gender inclusivity thing. I’m pretty sure we as a people don’t really need all of that.
She
Disney has become nonsense! The LGBQconfused is only about 4.5% of the population. Bring back family values/roles/traditions.
Levi
No disney is going in the right direction as a trans person im getting sick of all the movies from disney that caters to white straight characters
X (they/them)
This, as a gender non-conformist, I do not like the binary culture. It is exclusive and caters to heteronormative culture.
Be Nice
Levi,
I am so sorry you are hurting! Please note that you are not the only group of people out there underrepresented. I hope you find some love in your life and for others out there in need of care and understanding. You do not see what is going on inside everyone you meet just because they may look like a ‘well-adjusted white straight’ individual you do not know that for a fact! Nor do you know what horrors they may be hiding inside. Society does not need to change to make you feel better if that were the case then a lot of things in society would be different for me, I do not expect society to change for me to feel better about myself. I know who I am and what others call me or think about me does not change that! I hope you find peace in yourself and in the world around you so that you can start accepting yourself!
Sherri
Be nice….very eloquently said.
AH
Levi, At last you give the real reason behind your madness as you are mentally disturbed. Go get help if not for you then for the ones who love you. No such thing as Trans just mentally sustained people.
BYK
They won’t drop the titles, too much money tied up in princesses. That’s how you can tell where their values really are, follow the money 💰 🤑 💸
Shellie Karm
If disney continues to take away genders and does away with prince and princess terms I will NEVER have a thing to do with any of their brand. I am a huge disney fan that goes to Dosneyworld often but enough is enough. God created Man and Woman.
Levi
No! man and women are a social construct God created humans not genders
Be Nice
Levi,
I thought you didn’t believe God exists? Now you are saying He didn’t create genders? If you truly do not believe He exists then it doesn’t matter but if you would like the truth please look in the Bible in the book of Genesis right at the beginning.
I truly feel sorry for you! I hope you are getting some help for all the hurt and anger you are feeling.
Levi
Screw people who won’t accept change and being inclusive
Sherri
Why would it be specifically said that she wants 50 % of Disney characters to be LGBTQ and transgender? That’s 100% discrimination against all others. The best candidate should be one chosen not their sexual preference status. Omg so rediculous ! After everything being reported about Disney I’m on the fence about cancelling my sept trip.
Kenny
Being on the fence perpetuates the problem. Take a stand with so many others and let Disney survive on the super minority and the business it brings them. We all know the money will change things and fast. We all need to sacrifice our addiction to Disney in order to bring it back. Cancel, please everyone cancel.
Sherri
we have a developmentally delayed adult daughter who loves Mickey Mouse. She has absolutely no ability to understand anything in terms of gender or any of the crap that is going on in this world. It breaks our heart to take away the very few things she enjoys in life. I’ve always loved Disney as well. However it is making me nauseous at this point. Do any of these needy 5 % of people ever think about anyone other then themselves ?
A Thiel
I am in the same boat. My son is 19 years old and loves going to Disney. He has no understanding about any of this. I am so torn. I have always loved Disney but hate giving my money to them, but there are so few things he can enjoy due to his disabilities. These people need to stop and think about the children and not validating their lifestyle choices.
Be Nice
Sherri,
I know my comment above is long but please read it you may understand where this came from! She is taking something that was meant for inclusion of multiple underrepresented groups and claimed it as her own! go to the site mentioned in my above post!
Sherri
Be nice…. Thank you for responding to my comment and for your insight. I have never given my opinion on any of these forums before as I just don’t interact in this way. Nobody really ever wants to hear an opinion am I right? However , I do have an adult disabled daughter who lives Mickey Mouse and yes she is also autistic. None of the things going on in the world have any bearing on her whatsoever . I am a huge Disney fan and like to visit the parks yearly I’m reading so much negativity that it worries me to spend the amount of money needed to go to Disney and have a decent trip. I don’t care what a persons gender or sexual preferences are or what pronoun they use. Whomever fits the criteria for a position at Disney is the one who gets picked. I also have a daughter who is a professional dancer and travels around the world doing performances. She’s been rejected innumerable amounts of time because she didn’t look like the charter or was too short or wrong skin color. This is the only point I’m making. By people wanting to be “ inclusive” based on their gender identity or sexual preference or whatever else they are actually causing a segregation and making them stand out more negatively.
Be Nice
Sherri…your story hit home with me as my husband, and I are in a similar situation as you we also have a trip planned for early September. We are adult foster care providers and the young man we are caring for loves the rides and the music at the shows. I have been aa advocate for individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities for a long time! I wish there was a way for us to get in touch with each other privately 🙂 I think we might actually become friends 🙂
Yudai
An article about nothing, written by an idiot. I thought it was supposed to be a joke but it is just a lot of nonsense about something Disney has never stated they would do. Suggest the author find a hobby.
Missy
I am totally disgusted by this idea. Has everyone forgotten that the first successful animated film was about a princess? Why are we catering to a very small minority?
Anna
The stupidity of Disney is disgusting and immoral. It’s Men and Women. Princess or Prince. That’s it. None of them are homosexuals nor should they be portrayed as such.

How stupid they want 50% of already established characters to say they are now Queer. They are wrecking Disney

Ok if they are ridding princess and prince then make it just the ones who are no longer a princess or prince make them queen or king or remove princess from the title of like Mulan and pocahontas they never truly were princesses and should never had the title as one. For the other part make it queen Anna, queen Ariel, king Eric etc….

There are only those two options! Only two sexes

I have nothing against equality, but leave a child out of this don’t use emotional blackmail, school is hard enough with peer pressure now you have to add other things in a child’s life. Let’s let kids be kids, cause it seems like at one time I wanted to be president and then an astronaut. Children do not need this Walt is turning over right now for ruining the dream he had. Disney seems to forget what else is going on in other countries. Don’t give into peer pressure

Ok this leftist woke crap has to just stop. Just because this Disney corporate president’s kids are part of the (overly vocal) minority in this country doesn’t mean that all of a sudden every Disney kids movie needs characters representing said minority. And for the last time, it’s not the “don’t say gay” bill. That’s only I. The warped mind of you leftist progressives. It’s a bill designed to protect parents rights in the classroom. If you actually took the time to read the bill you would know this. Nowhere in the bill does it forbid anybody from saying the word “gay”.

Hopefully they will remove all princess merchandise so as not to encourage kids to identify with them. If they don’t, they’re hypocrites. They’ll keep selling it to make money. Such a shame to create this mess about a bill that protects very young children. Should be a left or right issue. It’s for the children. SMH. Unbelievable

Stop trying to cram this woke crap down my throat. Stop trying to cater to the 4 to 5% of the population that wants to change the world. Just like Washington DC, Disney corp. needs a total house cleaning. How about we go into the stores throughout Disney and tell them to take every prince, princess, Mickey (male), Minnie (female) and every other overpriced gender article off the shelves? Let’s see how corporate would handle that? I have had it with this bull crap. Disney, go back to the way you used to be please?

Appalling! Must everything be slanted toward being politically correct and inclusive? As for Ms. Burke, she is ridiculous. Stop using Disney as a personal platform to affirm your children’ sexual identity. We really don’t care.
Bob
Can everyone just stop with this nonsense already. Just STOP! It’s become BEYOND ridiculous. YES, there are Princes and Princesses! This world is just CRAZY anymore! Find some REAL issues to work on people! GET A LIFE!

Disney even is canceling the second most famous characters from their company the Disney Princesses. Can’t wait for the zella the non-binary Cinderella with they/them/their pronouns and finds their Royal person at the ball with help from their fairy god birthing person 😂😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

This doesn’t have to be a political trend, if it was a character from frozen it would be Hans of the southern isle for example. If we come up of a list of Prince or princess names for those without a fictional character title this would give them a actual name.

the level of bitterness and temper tantrums in this comment section is one of the most pathetic things i’ve ever seen (i bet every single person here that’s complaining about this is,also complained about them taking down the song of the south ride and replacing it with a princess and the frog version. ya’ll are adults). if you don’t want to be in a park filled with “woke lefties” then shut up and stay hope while everyone else is having fun without you. adapt or get left behind.

Sekhmet…Excuse me but some of us are trying to have reasonable conversations here! Some of us would like to see more than just ONE group of people take over the narrative. This is not about inclusion this is about wanting to change everything to make one group of people happy. My comment above to Levi about hurting may appear to apply to you as well! Please remember there are small children and individuals that don’t understand all this HATE in the park. We are talking about them not about the adults! If the ‘adults’ don’t like that the parks are for the kids, then maybe they shouldn’t be there? I understand that the “Song of the South” can be upsetting and not appropriate however most people don’t even know what the movie is! I welcome a “Princess and the Frog” ride but in again there lies a problem look at the title ‘PRINCESS’ Also I love the song Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah there is nothing controversial in the song itself it is very upbeat and happy song.

Why are we changing things for the minority of the people? The majority of us know what we are. Princes and princesses exist in real life, so are we going to take away their titles too. The terms are not offensive. Society is raising a bunch of sissies. People complain, which lately that is all they seem to do, and everything that has been around for generations has to change.

Wjhy do Adults continue to try and destroy childhood? SnowWhite WAS a princess,same for Sleeping Beauty. How about asking Kids how they feel about this and unless the response is 100% “change it ” leave it alone and this should be how Disney aproaches ALL things pushed ONLINE by Adults.

Why does everyone pretending they are unsure of their gender identity mean inclusive. It feels like tyranny of the minority.
Who, me?
So does this mean I can put Cadillac emblems on my Chevy and the car dealer has to go along with it when I trade it in otherwise I can cancel them?
Why does everything the left touch turn to dust??

If Disney is going to ban the terms “Prince”/”Princesses”, then, they ought to just stop calling themselves “Disney” altogether. To get rid of “Prince”/”Princess” would be as idiotic as Gamefreak getting rid of Pokémon like Pikachu or Charizard. Princes & princesses are the literal foundation of Disney. Disney needs to cut the faux “inclusivity” crap & stay in their lane!
