Walt Disney World brought back fireworks for the first time in over a year last week. And while the return was welcomed by guests, not everything was exactly the same. The automated announcement letting guests know that the show was about to begin had been modified to remove the phrase “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.” The more inclusive announcement simply informed “dreamers of all ages” that the fireworks would be beginning shortly. The change had the usual impact on Disney purists who never like to see anything change, but it turns out that it’s not the first change of this type, and it almost certainly won’t be the last.
