Disney Cancels Christmas

Disney World has canceled Christmas.

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, an extremely popular yuletide tradition, is going to be rebranded. Instead, the Magic Kingdom will host a night time show.

The new "don't call it Christmas" event is called 'Disney Very Merriest After Hours' - a generic, holiday-themed celebration.

Whoever came up with that idea deserves a lump of coal in their Christmas stocking.

Disney did not provide an explanation for the change - but in recent days the woke imagineers at the Magic Kingdom have made national headlines by culturally cleansing many popular rides.

Among the "offensive rides" that have been updated are Pirates of the Caribbean and Splash Mountain - a ride inspired by Song of the South. They also plan to update the Jungle Cruise over concerns about the depictions of natives.

There was even controversy surrounding Prince Charming's life-saving kiss that awakened Snow White from her slumber. The #MeToo crowd took issue with the 'unwelcomed' smooch.

Disney also eliminated the words "ladies and gentlemen" and "boys and girls" from recorded greetings at its theme parks.

In April, Disney announced it was adding "Inclusion" as a key component of its customer service. "We want our guests to see their own backgrounds and traditions reflected in the stories, experiences and products they encounter in their interactions with Disney," the company said.

The original introduction included, "Good evening, ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, dreamers of all ages." Now, the greeting is "Good evening, dreamers of all ages."

And how can we forget that Disney wanted its white staffers to complete a "white privilege" training workshop. What in the name of Jiminy Cricket is going on?

Disney fans are beyond outraged over the Cancel Christmas news, accusing the Magic Kingdom of appeasing critics.

"We can only believe that Disney is continuing to follow the stupidity already shown in changing cast costumes so as not to offend, or erasing all gender in their traditional welcome and greeting that included both boys and girls," one angry fan wrote on Facebook. "Disney, I have been your biggest Mouseketeer fan for 46 years but you are losing many of us who actually keep your business going while you try to appeal to critics and the habitually offended. Get it together or just shut down completely, because you will NEVER make those kinds of people happy."

Another Mouseketeer noted, "I’m all for equality and respecting people’s differences, but now they’re taking away cherished traditions from the mainstream in the name of extreme political correctness."

It is not exactly clear what’s going to happen during Disney World’s After Hours show. Will there be Christmas trees? What about wreaths or a Nativity Scene? How about the beloved candlelight processional?

We simply do not know the extent of the cultural cleansing of Disney's "holiday" celebration, but don't be surprised if it lands somebody on Santa’s naughty list.

Disney is anti-Christian and has long organized and led the parade to cement paganism in our culture.

But of course. We can’t say “Christmas” lest we offend the sensibilities of the politically correct crowd. That’s what’s going on here.

As a Vocal Teacher working in Florida, I sent many a student to Epcot to sing in the Christmas Celebration. It was one of the kids’ most exciting experiences. As I worked with the kids on the songs, I was always delighted to see the beautiful arrangements of Traditional (Religious) Christmas Songs, Like “Joy To The World” and “Oh Holy Night”. These were Disney Arrangements and hence, heavily copyrighted, and unique to the yearly Extravaganza.

I suppose these will be discarded as not “Woke” enough. (sigh).

Disney is a homosexual activist organization. Christianity to them is what a crucifix is to Dracula.

we need to boycott Disney-try Knott’s Berry Farm - you know Snoopys creator Charles Schultz was a fine Christian. Isn’t it about time we use our money to boycott.

I’m so happy that I’ve despised Disney for decades.

>>”We want our guests to see their own backgrounds and traditions reflected in the stories, experiences and products they encounter in their interactions with Disney,”

So therefore eliminate Christians and Christmas?

Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus have canceled their vacation to Disneyworld. They will be spending their off time in an American Resort.

Pardon the pun, but Disney has really become a “Mickey Mouse” operation.

I live 2 hours north of “the world” and haven’t given them a dime in at least 30 years. Since I heard they were allowing homosexuals to put their “partners” on their medical insurance plans I knew I never would.
