According to a recent video, it appears Walt Disney World has cast a man to play the evil queen from “Snow White” in drag at its Wilderness Lodge resort.
“That Park Place,” a site devoted to Disney theme parks, reported that a family who dined at the Wilderness Lodge encountered the performer, as the father told the site “that the Evil Queen without a doubt had a man’s voice.”
“It was kind of loud inside so I couldn’t really hear what the character was saying until I got face to face (typical conversation distance of a few feet) and then it hit me that the Evil Queen without a doubt had a man’s voice,” the father told the site.
He added that he later spoke to a manger who stated “I can assure you that she is a woman.”
In August 2023, Libs of TikTok posted a pair of images from visitors to Disneyland in Florida that showed two men wearing dresses and greeting small children and their parents.
In 2021, Disney decided to make its Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutiques at Disney World and Disneyland more gender inclusive by renaming its makeup and clothing stylists who turn little girls into princesses from “Fairy Godmothers in Training” to “Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices.”
Commenters responded to Disney’s obvious and progressive change, calling it “completely unnecessary” and “overly sensitive.”
Jack Wagner, who is known as “the voice of Disney” for his voice work with the parks, estimated that he has said the previous phrase over 8 million times during his two-decade tenure as park announcer for Disneyland, Disney World, and Tokyo Disneyland.
One New York father who has taken his children to Disney’s Florida location said he noticed the change at the time, “I saw this [the change in title to ‘Fairy Godmothers in Training’] and I think it’s absurd,” the father said.
“Having a daughter who did the Bibbity Boppity Boutique where this is being implemented just further cements my thoughts that I can’t take my kids there anymore. They’ve gone full woke,” he added.
The frustrated dad said it’s his opinion that Disney’s “footprint will be greatly reduced within a decade because of things like this.”
