Predictable . I am sure most people who visit wont have a clue who they are . I know I didn’t until I read down through the article . The question is will the people who visit the resort rather see two characters that are extremely recognizable from a hugely successful Disney animated movie and musical or two lesser known characters from a far more forgettable film ?
No one is infringing on this so called “white lifestyle”. My goodness, so you not hear yourself? Hate to break it to you the world is full of different ethnicities. Expand your mind and read other news sites. So tired of this soulless ramblings of folks who are scared of any change.
Instead of taking away a well-loved character why not just add the newer ones! Tiana having a restaurant would make more sense than removing established characters from Disney’s past! What they are doing now is equal to removing all grandparents lives from great grand and grandchildren’s memories! Within 50 years the parks will be only filled with non-story rides that are only lights and sounds forget the history and heritage of the past. Without the past being told it just gives the future the chance to repeat all the evil again.
Its more cultural appropriation than infringement of the “white lifestyle” . The Princes and the Frog film was based on a fable The Frog Prince by the Brothers Grimm . Like many tales of the Brothers Grimm it was inspired by older tales from European folklore . Its essentially like having a film about African folklore legends and having white characters instead of black , would you support or oppose such a movie ?
Just watch as she tries to explain that the two are not the same thing and exposes her hypocrisy .
So what’s your solution clown! All characters that aren’t white should be relegated to the background. To keep everything Lilly white to your liking. Too bad it’s a new day.
Ooooh, don’t want to make the wo ke folk angry again, they’ll start rioting anytime they don’t get what they want. You’re right, it is a new day and remember that street goes both ways.
Ummm…replacing black and other minorities with white actors/characters is done all the time. How do you not know that? And the film’s/shows are usually very popular. Things have been getting whitewashed for centuries.
I bet you drive a car which was invented by whites, livevin q house that was designed by whites, a job for a company started by whites. You have no problem embracing those parts of “white lifestyle”. Face it without whites you’d still be standing around a fire in Africa dancing around in grass skirts
It’s time for me to stop reading the comments on this site. Whether it’s left or right, liberal or conservative, these comments over the last year or so have become beyond mean & nasty! I have found my own commenting sliding down that slippery slope & don’t like it. So, farewell to all the nasty, unhappy people on this site. It’s too short a dance to spend it being miserable to others !!!

It is taking away white lifestyle and replacing it with blacks trans Gender put on a pedistal and minorites getting everything,! Disney is DEAD WRONG with this POLITICAL DEMOCRAT LIBERAL COMMUNIST LIFESTYLE that they are forcing on America.
Is it really being “diverse” when you replace one thing with another to appease one group of people over another? I guess the definition of word “diverse” has changed in the past few years if that’s the case.
Diversity (noun):
an instance of being composed of DIFFERING elements or qualities
Whose “losing their mind?” I see you are another one like Booker who completely missed what I said and just wants diversity to mean only one group over another instead of an all inclusive multitude of people together. PS keep calling people who don’t agree with you “Karens” while you do the exact same thing you are accusing them of doing. Makes you look real intelligent.
You act like they just removed every single white character to replace them with black ones. It’s one character set. Literally grow up and get over it. Disney isn’t even here to appeal to your demographic. The magic is for the kids so let them enjoy it, because I guarantee you, they don’t care.
You act like you are another one who doesn’t know what the word “diversity” means. Literally take a reading comprehension course and actually read my original post before you respond to me. “Disney isn’t even here to appeal to your demographic.” So you admit that Disney isn’t being diverse in this. Thanks for proving my point.
No more racist of a buzzword than civil rights, equal opportunity, reparations or BLM. Truth hurts don’t it but then again you folks make up your own truths, no doubt about that.
all the ppl responding angry faces. like why? what is this hurting?
not to mention the article is just to make ppl argue. when we don’t even know if this is a permanent change. it says “No word from Disney on if this is a permanent change or if it is just temporary. From time to time, characters are swapped on floats depending on availability and this could be the case today.” soooo 🤷♀️
I think it will hurt all the children most who wanted to see Beauty and the Beast because they are recognizable characters from a hugely successful Disney movie and stage musical and wont have a clue who these characters are . Rather than replace them perhaps they should have just added Princes Tiana and Naveen .
All you did was disprove yourself. Yes it is diversity to include other races and ethnicities I. The parade. There a plenty of princesses. A. They can’t just add another one in because they have a budget to maintain as well. They swap out pretty often depending on who they have on the schedule. People are mad about it for no reason. Plenty of children know who tiana is. All the black kids do. So are they not supposed to be able to see themselves represented in the parade? There’s a bunch of princesses there and all of them are well known.
Just saw the parade yesterday. It wasn’t like described in the article. Beauty and the Beast were on the lead float. The Tiana and Naveen characters were a part of a float farther down the procession. Apparently, some are just trying to stir the pot at every opportunity.
Sounds like it’s run by racist MAGA supporters who hear these things and get their panties in a bunch. And want to run around a holler “Woke” about everything. Clowns.
I know this doesn’t fit your narrative, Booker and I hate to break the fact to you, but not everyone who is right leaning or doesn’t agree with you 100% is a “racist MAGA supporter”. Nice try though. PS the more you try to play the “racism” card, the less power it has.
Sick of the hate from racist people who hate Black and brown people like why hate us I just don’t like it we are the ones who folks who worked Plantations forced to take care of blonde and pale humans. 😡Life shifts yes 👏🏾 it is time racist look at their own families hated because I can assure you it’s on public file. Doris I suggest you go research your people past!
If you are going to bring up plantations, then do research before you speak as 90% of those that had plantations were working right along with those ethnic people as well and in many case’s they were giving them a portion of the spoils or a share from the crops being raised. If you would really pay attention most White people are not blonde but have brown hair and have stronger tans. You want to speak of the past then actually know what happened before you follow the liberal bias lies printed in their textbooks provided since the 60’s.
My “people” came over from Ireland in the late 1800’s and never owned slaves. Often times they were treated WORSE than Black people. (do some research about that) What’s your point? And PS I see plenty of hate coming from Black and Brown people directed towards others who are not like them. So please don’t act like you are perfect. Maybe you should look into YOUR own past. I am sure you will turn up some things you don’t like there too.
Change is everywhere people WAKE UP! If you don’t know who Tiana is, you don’t watch Disney! If you go to Disney and if you live in FL, you would know most of the people there are from different places and culture. Uber sometime. You uptight conservatives! This is grandstanding and exactly why I don’t waste my money and time at Disney, but those of you that do, take a BIG OLE DRINK OF GAY, INCLUSIVE, DIVERSITY, SPEND YOUR MONEY AND ENJOY TURNING UP YOUR F’ING NOSES WHILE YOU DO IT TO PLEASE YOUR CHILDREN! PS: Some of them will grow up to be part of the LGBTQ Community you LOATHE! Will you loathe it then? Proud to have a child to be part of it you HYPOCRITES!
Those conservatives represent roughly half of the electorate where the LBGTQ community about 3.5 percent . White people in western countries are by far the biggest ethnic group . The figures speak for themselves .
Disney will alienate huge sections of its audience if they overload them with LBGTQ content in the way they are doing now . Most people see this as an abnormal lifestyle and while they are willing to accept LBGTQ rights they are not willing to accept such over promotion of such a lifestyle as we are seeing now .
If they race swap white characters for black they will lose viewers . The majority of people don’t have a problem with racial diversity as long as its not coupled with cultural appropriation .
At the end of the day this will all come down to what is profitable and what isn’t given we live in a capitalist society . So essentially people like you are going to fail in your endeavors because you will always be in the minority . Its starting to happen already with Netflix losing 50 billion in one day and while there are other factors and work there the company pushing out so much woke content is one of the mitigating factors in what happened . Then today Elon Musk has taken over Twitter and the mouthpiece for Cancel Culture and Woke activists is now owned by someone that opposes them .
In the end the mighty dollar always wins and you lose .
LGBTQOICU812 is not normal. It’s all mental illness and you should all seek help. There are plenty of institutions that will welcome you and give you inclusion while pumping you with Thorozine. DeSantis is a hero of the people and only wants to protect our children and preserve their innocence. As far as racism goes, the majority of people crying racism are the ones complaining about it. POC are getting all the inclusion we can handle. Just watch the TV and you will see that 75-80% of the commercials are cast with POC or interracial couples. The traditional white family has basically been alienated by Disney. By percent, the traditional white family are the majority of Disney guests and the backbone of their profits. Disney will not survive if those families stop coming. Just watch what’s happening to their stocks. They are already feeling the crunch as more and more families cancel their trips, and it’s hundreds, if not thousands, every week. You, Lisa, are one step from being antifa, because your kind are ideal for those black mask wearing bunch of trouble makers. Get a life, and find God, because if it’s not mental illness you suffer from your soul is lost.
Gotta love those old geezers who still believe that people should be pumped with drugs and tortured with shock “therapy” to “fix” someone for not being exactly like HIM. Literally the WORST case of narcissistic personality someone can have to think people are “broken” because they’re not like you. So since you’re the one with the mental condition, cmon old man, I’ll drive you to the asylum for your first shock torture session. Miserable old fart.
Hahaha. Fooled you Ryan. I’m 27 and a POC. Some of us are sick of all this crap too. But, since you ASSumed I’m an old white guy, who am I to argue. SMH.
I’m all for protecting our children. But you go into phsycopath territory thinking that if a child DOES grow up to be gay, we need to torture them and pump them with drugs to “fix” them. You’re even more disgusting of a human being for thinking that is a humane thing to do to someone. Unbelievable
Come on Maria. Sarcasm. But, All you gay people have completely overshadowed any stand we can make against racism. African-Americans are still the minority, but are more equal now than ever to everyone else. Gay is not a race, unless it’s a drag race.
Well, they can be gay all they want to. But, they would be more likely to be accepted if they wouldn’t advertise all the time crying about inclusion and marching in their “pride” events. Straight people don’t march for straights. Why should they be any different. If they want to be treated as normal then they need to act normal, otherwise, go see a psychiatrist.
When I saw ‘Festival of Fantasy’ they’d replaced Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip with Elsa and Anna, things change, it’s still a brilliant parade…if they put Zip A Dee Doo Dah back it’ll be even better
Love it! Princess & the Frog is awesome. We love the songs. Always good to change things up & keep them fresh. And representation is everything- room for everyone at the table!
Lol, ok, “Walt”, I guess what I’m witnessing in these comments is love and acceptance of our differences. My bad, I must have misunderstood by everyone losing their minds that a non-white character replaced a white character for ONE DAY.
This article was set up as a trap to incite people, I’m sure. If you haven’t watched Princess and the Frog, please do. I love Tiana. We aren’t the same race but we both lived in New Orleans in our 20s, were pretty poor at the time, loved beignets, zydeco, jazz and coffee and we are both left handed! She is a wayyy better cook though! Even though her best friend isn’t the same race of class, they genuinely care about eachother. The movie is a love letter to New Orleans and Louisiana in its way. Tiana is a kind, enterprising, “American Princess” who invites you to love her hometown – a place Walt loved too. She and Naveen are an awesome addition to MK, and have been in the park for years. Disney HAS gone downhill over the years, but this movie and these characters aren’t part of that -celebrating diverse cultures and showing what makes us all alike ISN’T part of that. In fact, that’s at the heart of Epcot’s success and has been for decades. Christians and conservatives I know are generally very loving and accepting of all people, whether they agree with their lifestyle or not. They don’t disrespect people for immutable characteristics. Don’t be the screechers who make the rest of us look bad. I thought the idea was to protect the joy and innocence of childhood? How is seeing a princess that looks like people you see all the time hurting that? Please don’t become filled with hate for people who don’t think/look/act like you. We have enough of that. Tiana is an American princess, with kindness, talent, and a hard core work ethic. She’s not just the color of her skin – and neither are any of us. They should be making 4th of July shirts with her on there saying “American Princess” or something like that. She’s really a wonderful character and would be great at the front of a float. Choose your battles more wisely.
One can still be conservative and not be a Trump/DeSantis supporter or a racist. If you can’t see that I highly doubt you were ever a conservative in the first place and just want to pretend so you can slander conservatives.
I see we’re dealing with children, but I’m not surprised. Just sad for you really. Literally mocking someone for being accepting instead of hateful. What are we coming to.
YOU are the one calling people who don’t agree with you “hateful”, “racists” and “bigots”. Don’t get on your high horse now and act morally superior because I am calling you out on doing EXACTLY what you are complaining about.
Politically speaking this doesn’t surprise me. But from the point of view as a (ex)Disney fan why would they replace Belle and Adam/The Beast? Since Beauty and the Beast is one of the greatest Disney movies of all time. Why didn’t they replace a less famous Disney couple or build a new float? Besides this is 1. Virtue signaling 2. Promoting the splash mountain refurbishment nobody asked for. The Princess and the frog isn’t that popular either since people didn’t really like the villain being a witch doctor.

This article was set up as a trap to incite people, I’m sure. If you haven’t watched Princess and the Frog, please do. I love Tiana. We aren’t the same race but we both lived in New Orleans in our 20s, were pretty poor at the time, loved beignets, zydeco, jazz and coffee and we are both left handed! She is a wayyy better cook though! Even though her best friend isn’t the same race of class, they genuinely care about eachother. The movie is a love letter to New Orleans and Louisiana in its way. Tiana is a kind, enterprising, “American Princess” who invites you to love her hometown – a place Walt loved too. She and Naveen are an awesome addition to MK, and have been in the park for years. Disney HAS gone downhill over the years, but this movie and these characters aren’t part of that -celebrating diverse cultures and showing what makes us all alike ISN’T part of that. In fact, that’s at the heart of Epcot’s success and has been for decades. Christians and conservatives I know are generally very loving and accepting of all people, whether they agree with their lifestyle or not. They don’t disrespect people for immutable characteristics. Don’t be the screechers who make the rest of us look bad. I thought the idea was to protect the joy and innocence of childhood? How is seeing a princess that looks like people you see all the time hurting that? Please don’t become filled with hate for people who don’t think/look/act like you. We have enough of that. Tiana is an American princess, with kindness, talent, and a hard core work ethic. She’s not just the color of her skin – and neither are any of us. They should be making 4th of July shirts with her on there saying “American Princess” or something like that. She’s really a wonderful character and would be great at the front of a float. Choose your battles more wisely.

Pander on.

One can still be conservative and not be a Trump/DeSantis supporter or a racist. If you can’t see that I highly doubt you were ever a conservative in the first place and just want to pretend so you can slander conservatives.

“waaaaah people don’t think exactly like I do waaaaaaah that MUST mean they are hateful racist bigots waaaah” Fixed your post for you Maria.

I see we’re dealing with children, but I’m not surprised. Just sad for you really. Literally mocking someone for being accepting instead of hateful. What are we coming to.
Kevin
YOU are the one calling people who don’t agree with you “hateful”, “racists” and “bigots”. Don’t get on your high horse now and act morally superior because I am calling you out on doing EXACTLY what you are complaining about.

Politically speaking this doesn’t surprise me. But from the point of view as a (ex)Disney fan why would they replace Belle and Adam/The Beast? Since Beauty and the Beast is one of the greatest Disney movies of all time. Why didn’t they replace a less famous Disney couple or build a new float? Besides this is 1. Virtue signaling 2. Promoting the splash mountain refurbishment nobody asked for. The Princess and the frog isn’t that popular either since people didn’t really like the villain being a witch doctor.

I think Disney should remove all ethnic characters and go back to the main princesses!!!
