Disney theme parks in the United States recently changed the title of their employees in the “Fairy Godmothers in Training” program to “Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices” to be more gender-neutral.

At special “Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique” locations in the parks, visiting children have been traditionally dressed and styled by the “fairy godmothers in training” as their favorite Disney characters. But now these workers will have a new name.
