Woke Disney Goes Way Too Far This Time – They Just Cancelled Tinker Bell

It has been revealed that Tinker Bell has been axed from the set of characters available for meet and greets at Disney World amusement park in Florida.

The move comes after Disney labeled the fairy “potentially problematic” for her appearance and behavior in the classic 1953 film, Peter Pan…

In 2022, the New York Times reported that Disney had deemed the fairy “potentially problematic” because she was seen as “body conscious” and desired Peter Pan’s attention.

These PC clowns are so woke, that they even brandished Captain Hook—the villain of the film—as problematic too because, get this, he has a hook. The liberals who run Disney fear this might be seen as a “negative portrayal of those with disabilities.”

Uh… so now Disney doesn’t like cartoon pirates because they think it will offend someone with a prosthetic in real life? Does anyone really think Hook is evil because he has a hook for a hand? Give me a break.

It seems like Disney’s slide into irrelevance is only continuing. How much longer before the once-beloved company is just a punchline?

Oh Lordy!! Sunstroke got played AGAIN!!!

“At present, Tinker Bell does not hold a “meet and greet” opportunity at the Walt Disney World Resort. Of course, she does make her evening flight over Magic Kingdom Park at the end of the Happily Ever After nighttime fireworks show! During our recent visit, my family had an amazing view of “Tink” from just outside the Plaza Restaurant!

Another way to see Tinker Bell “live” is during the Festival of Fantasy Parade! The parade takes place daily at Magic Kingdom Park! Please keep in mind that character appearances are subject to change.

You can also see “Tink” in other forms on the Peter Pan’s Flight attraction and in Mickey’s PhiharMagic! Both are in Magic Kingdom Park! Of course, Tinker Bell has her own “Fab 50” statue in Magic Kingdom Park as well! You might need to ask a Cast Member to point out her statue location as it can be one of the more challenging statues to find!

@NoThanksLeon Get deadwood to tell you sometime boys are really girls, if you want a good laugh
@sunsporter1649 Oh I know. Been there, done that. Showed me an AI bar graph. 🤣
@sunsporter1649 Look who's trying to change the subject, LOL!!!

We already know, sunstroke, that your efforts to change the subject are proof that you've lost the debate🤣😂

@ElwoodBlues Imagine you not reading the first line of the story....
@sunsporter1649 Every "meet and greet" character was axed in 2020! Because of the pandemic!! Tink is still widely available!!!

They've only brought a few back. You have FAILED to establish any connection with any "problematic" claims. The real cause was social distancing; Mickey can wear a mask inside the costume; Tink cannot.

Prior to the pandemic, guests could meet Mickey Mouse or Tinker Bell at Town Square Theater in the Magic Kingdom. All you had to do was choose who you wanted to meet and wait in that respective line. The same was true for the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, or any other Disney attraction. Wait times were listed for both characters.

@sunsporter1649 Show us where Disney did this alleged labeling. Oh, wait, you can't! Because Disney never made any such move!! Disney is FAR too cautious to make such labels public.

BTW, every "meet and greet" character was axed in 2020! Because of the pandemic!! Tink is still widely available!!!
