Have Cast Members Stopped Saying, Princess & Prince? The DIS bibbidi-bobbidi-boutique-gf-res

A thread on the DISboards has got me thinking, have Cast Members stopped calling guests Princess and Prince?



I always loved being called Princess by Cast Members when I was a kid, heck, even as an adult. A rumor is floating around that Cast Members are being told to stop using those terms. When I worked in the theme park industry, I was told to use the word “friends” when speaking to groups or when unsure.

I think using a mix between princess, prince, and friends is good. I believe the more inclusive Disney can be, the better it is for the guests visiting. I think it’s essential to grow with the times and to include EVERYONE when greeting guests.



I don’t think this rumor is true, though, because I got called “princess” just a few days ago while entering the parks. What I do think is happening is that Disney is telling Cast Members to be more aware when using those terms.
