At Disneyland in Anaheim, California, a little girl wishing to be transformed into Snow White or Cinderella might have to be squired around Disney’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique by a mustachioed man in a dress. A recent social media post showed the reality of this newest form of perversion at the Magic Kingdom.
The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is advertised as a place where diminutive guests — the boutique serves guests aged 3-12 — can meet an apprentice fairy godmother who “will pamper and primp your child until they look storybook stunning.”
“So, my name is Nick, I am one of the fairy godmother’s apprentices,” says the man wearing makeup to young girls entering the boutique. “I’m here to shop you around and make all your selections for the day.”
It’s Disney’s latest descent into “wokeness,” and a particularly disturbing one.
Last year, the theme park announced that their high-priced princess boutiques would be undergoing certain changes to make the experience more “gender inclusive” for cast members.
“Boutique Cast Members were formerly called ‘Fairy Godmothers in Training’ but will now be called ‘Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices,'” Inside the Magic reported last August. “This change is more gender inclusive and will allow Cast Members who don’t identify as female to participate in magical Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique makeovers.”
The release of the video has sparked backlash against Disney, which has been mired in a battle with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over their increasingly “woke” policies.
Former devotees of the salon were outraged by its new direction.
“This salon, which I have used several times, is for little girls ages 4-10. It is a delight from start to finish, and one of the cutest things to watch. A true ‘Disney magic’ immersive experience — one of the very few left at the park,” wrote Twitter user Peachy Keenan.
However, “A man in drag is not only bizarre and inappropriate but it takes guests out of the ‘show’ — the illusion is broken,” Keenan added. “Nothing matters but the agenda and your 4 yo is a pawn they are happy to mindflay.”
Gay neoconservative podcaster Dave Rubin added, “What’s particularly interesting about this is how intentional it is. This is a dude with a mustache in a dress. Not a ‘trans’ person. Think how many real girls want that job at Disney and they gave it to him for a reason.…”
The footage was originally posted on TikTok by Kourtni Faber, who was documenting a trip to Disneyland with her daughter. Faber praised the park and “Fairy Godmother Apprentice” Nick for giving her daughter an “unforgettable experience.”
Disney has been increasingly less “family friendly” over the past several years, and has been suffering financial chaos as a result of their wokeness. Some believed that last November’s dumping of CEO Bob Chapek was a signal that the company might be making moves back toward its kid-friendly past.
But it seems that Bob Iger, a CEO from Disney’s past resurrected when Chapek was released, plans to keep those woke bullets firing — no matter what it does to the company.
Disney has seen some high-level failure at the box office recently. 2022’s Lightyear, an animated feature based on the Buzz Lightyear character popularized in Toy Story, completely bombed at the box office, not even earning enough to cover the film’s $200 million budget. Lightyear featured a character in a lesbian relationship.
While the public keeps saying “no” to Disney’s woke agenda, the company keeps pushing it despite losing money hand over fist. It’s almost as if the money doesn’t matter as much as the message — a signal that Disney values its political agenda over its customers. Peachy Keenan was spot on: “Nothing matters but the agenda.”
