Social media users have praised Disney for replacing the greeting at one of their theme parks with a gender-neutral alternative.
According to Insider, the change has been made as part of the Orlando resort's latest initiative to promote inclusivity by discarding gendered language.
The above publication reports that Disney World's new greeting policy was made public after its employees were invited to a cast member preview of the "Happily Ever After" fireworks show on Wednesday, June 30.
Footage shared on social media of the first fireworks show hosted at the Magic Kingdom park since the outbreak of the pandemic shows that the preshow recording was changed.
As you can hear in the video above, Disney World has replaced the traditional welcome of: "Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls", with one that instead says: "Good evening, dreamers of all ages!"
A Twitter user going by the handle @ShowcaseWishes has since shared a video comparing the greeting played on Wednesday night to one dating back to 2020.
Many other Twitter users have since taken to the comments of the post to express their approval of the change in terminology.
For example, one person wrote: "hot take: 'good evening, dreamers of all ages' works better thematically."
Another commented: "Change is good sometimes. Sometimes people prefer the original. They started the electronic firing in the 60s.
"If memory serves, that voice intro has been since then. They still come to watch. Over 60 years without anyone getting upset over an introduction."
Then this commenter tweeted: "I love 'Dreamers of all ages' because it really makes that super snuggly and more magical. It's so heartwarming."
Finally, this person wrote: "Its entirely possible the change is simply a routine change to the recording: 'good evening dreamers of all ages' gets right to the 'magic', it has better pacing, and removes extraneous words.
"As someone who does editing for short content, it's absolutely the choice I would make."
This move comes not long after Disney changed the name of an iconic spacecraft from the Star Wars franchise.
