The announcement, coming on the eve of Disneyland's reopening on April 30, was made yesterday by Josh D'Amaro, the chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products.
D'Amaro said the loosening of gendered presentation at the parks is part of an initiative to modernize the "Four Keys" — Safety, Courtesy, Show and Efficiency — that have guided customer service at the parks since Disneyland opened in 1955.
