It was phased out because Disney leadership, at least at that time, believed gender-neutral language better matched the image the company wanted to project,\u201d the entertainment outlet noted.<\/p>\n<p>A return to \u201cladies and gentlemen,\u201d therefore, might suggest that Disney \u201cnow sees more\u00a0value in familiarity, tradition, and broad cultural normalization than in the \u2018progressive inclusivity signaling\u2019 that drove the earlier shift,\u201d That Park Place reported.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><em>Alana Mastrangelo is a reporter for Breitbart News.
