A Disneyland employee’s choice of costume has sparked controversy and triggered a wave of calls for boycotting the popular entertainment resort. The employee, a male cast member, was dressed as a ‘Fairy Godmother’s apprentice,’ donning a blue and purple dress and sporting a mustache. The incident unfolded at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Anaheim, California, and footage capturing the encounter quickly went viral.
Kournti Farber, a mother of three, had been documenting her family’s visit to Disneyland when she shared the video online. She expressed her gratitude towards the Disneyland staff for creating an unforgettable experience for her daughter. However, this heartwarming moment was soon overshadowed by critics who deemed Disney’s decision to allow a male employee to wear a dress as ‘inappropriate.’
Disney has actively pursued inclusivity and progressiveness in recent years, striving to create a welcoming environment for all. While these efforts have been widely praised, there are fans who feel that the company has taken its pursuit of progress too far, leading to a backlash against what they perceive as excessive changes driven by “wokeness.”
