Disney has removed the phrase "ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls" from a greeting announcing its widely recognized Magic Kingdom fireworks show.
The change is "part of a broader effort," a Disney spokesperson told CBS News. "It's not about one or two things."
"Good evening, dreamers of all ages," an announcer now says in the greeting.
CBS notes that this development comes just months after Disney announced that it would be adding "inclusion" as a fifth component to its customer service priorities. The original four components were: safety, courtesy, show and efficiency.

“Good evening,... SUCKERS!”
Never been to a Disney park. I was probably missing out 30 or more years ago. I don’t think I’m missing much these days.
Heh heh, maybe they should just replace Mickey with Rickey Rat:
R-I-C
See you in the sewer, suckers.
K-E-Y
Why? Because we're vermin.
R-A-T!

For decades, a widespread rumor claimed that one night Uncle Don had inadvertently spoken into an open microphone, saying “There! That ought to hold the little bastards.” However, this has been debunked as untrue. The rumor was later resurrected in the 1950s, when an audio recording of the mistake turned up on a Kermit Schaefer Bloopers album, though this was later shown to be a fake recreation. (Some sources, such as John Dunning’s Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio, claim that Carney always denied the rumours; others say that he actually admitted the gaffe to friends, even though he knew it never happened.) Ultimately, this became attributed to later children’s shows as well.[2]
Oh, for God's sake, Disney. Grow a pair and drop the PC crap. Until you stop all this phony "boys-and-girls-no-longer-exist" bullshit, the grandkids will be going to other theme parks that aren't caught up in all this crap.
“Good evening, mindless sheep.”
Before long they’ll just be gouig with “Innies and Outies”
On the road to a simpler salutation......Comrade.
I live 30 minutes from Disney. Last time I went was in the 1990s
I think instead of dropping anything, they should add all 247 or whatever it’s up to now, gender / bender / blender inventions, along with their associated pronouns, and descriptions of what they do and don’t do with their genitals.
Damn show would be over long before the list.
I went once for the honeymoon.
Good time but have zero desire to go back.
“I live 30 minutes from Disney. Last time I went was in the 1990s”
Ditto, all of my 62 years, have had zero interest to go back. It’s now been 38 years since my last visit. Granted no kids helped the decision.
You aren’t missing out on anything from Disney, period, in the present day. They are now gobbling up other IPs like Star Wars and destroying them.
