Disney is renaming one of its Fairy Godmother positions to be more gender-inclusive at its parks in Florida and California.
Boys and girls who visit the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutiques in Disneyland and Disney World will now be assisted by “Fairy Godmother’s apprentices” rather than “Fairy Godmothers in training,” according to an announcement on the company’s blog, Streaming the Magic.
The change will allow employees who may not identify as women to “still be part of the process to dress up & style the children without having to refer to themselves as a female Disney character,” the company said.
