SCOOP: Disney diversity and inclusion manager Vivian Ware says the company has eliminated all mentions of “ladies,” “gentlemen,” “boys,” and “girls” in its theme parks in order to create “that magical moment” for children who do not identify with traditional gender roles. Ware then added, “And we don’t want to just assume because someone might be, in our interpretation, may be presenting as female, that they may not want to be called ‘princess.’ So, let’s think differently about how do we really engage with our guests in a meaningful and inclusive way that makes it magical and memorable for everyone.” We have our cast members working with merchandise, working with food and beverage, working with all of our guest-facing areas, where perhaps we want to create that magical moment with our cast members, with our guests,” she said. “So I love the fact that it’s opened up the creativity, the opportunity for our cast members to look at that. Ware continued saying, “We’re in the process of changing over those recorded messages, and so many of you are probably familiar when we brought the fireworks back to the Magic Kingdom, we no longer say, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,’ We say, ‘Dreamers of all ages.'” So now they know it’s, ‘Hello, everyone’ or ‘Hello, friends.'” She explained, “So we no longer say, ‘Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls.’ We provided training for all of our cast members in relationship to that. SCOOP: Disney production coordinator Allen March says his team is committed to “exploring queer stories” and has created a “tracker” to make sure they are creating enough “gender nonconforming characters,” “canonical trans characters,” and “canonical bisexual characters.” /ddSzw4aqQvĪ third video shows Vivian Ware, the Diversity & Inclusion Manager at Walt Disney Parks & Resorts, stating, “Last summer we removed all of the gendered greetings in relationship to our live spiels.” So kind of the only way to have these canonical trans characters, canonical asexual characters, canonical bisexual characters is to give them stories where they can be their whole selves,” March concludes. “Especially with trans characters, you can’t see if someone is trans. “The more centered a story is on a character the more nuanced you get to get into their story.” “So it’s not just a numbers game of how many LGBTQ+ characters you have,” he stated.

“So I put together a tracker of our background characters to make sure that we have the full breadth of expression. I’m on the production side, part of the work that I feel like I can put in is making sure that - we take place in modern-day New York so making sure that that’s an accurate reflection of New York.” They’ve been really open to exploring queer stories. March said, “I’ve had the privilege of working with the Moon Girl team for the last two years.

oFRUiuu9JGĪ Disney production coordinator identified as Allen March, who says he worked on Disney’s Moon Girl series also revealed Disney has actually created a tracker in order to determine whether or not the company is creating enough LGBTQ+ characters. SCOOP: Disney corporate president Karey Burke says, 'as the mother one transgender child and one pansexual child,' she supports having 'many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories' and wants a minimum of 50 percent of characters to be LGBTQIA and racial minorities. “I know that we will be and I hope this is a moment where - shoot, the 50 percent of the tears, sorry, are coming - we just don’t allow each other to go backwards,” the clip concludes. Going forward, I certainly will be more so.” “I can tell you it’s something that I feel that perhaps had this moment not happened, I as a leader and me as my colleagues would not have focused on. “That’s been very eye-opening for me,” she said.

“We have many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories and yet, we don’t have enough leads and narratives in which gay characters just get to be characters and not have to be about gay stories.” Burke said.
