The folks running Disney World are reportedly experiencing a moment of reflection and common sense, according to a fan account.

“It was very nice to hear that ‘Ladies and Gentlemen’ has returned to the Magic Kingdom Express Monorail recently!” Theme Park Cheetah shared on X.

“That means cultivating an environment where all people feel welcomed and appreciated for their unique life experiences, perspectives and culture,” it said at the time. “Where we celebrate allyship and support for each other. And where diverse views and ideas are sought after as critical contributions towards our collective success.”
