Despite recent reports that Disney has restored the “ladies and gentlemen” announcement to the Walt Disney World Monorail, the announcement never actually changed.

“Ladies and Gentlemen” on Walt Disney World Monorail

It’s true that in the past few years, Disney has removed some gendered language from attractions, entertainment, and more. Most prominently, they removed the “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls” greeting that previously played ahead of Magic Kingdom fireworks in 2021. In 2022, Walt Disney World cast members began addressing guests as “friend” more often.

But “ladies and gentlemen” was never removed from the Monorail announcement. The announcement on all the Monorail lines remains the same, continuing to begin with “ladies and gentlemen” as it has for many years. Many videos can be found on YouTube over the last several years, verifying how “ladies and gentlemen” has always been present. Hear the current audio below.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are approaching our station at the entrance to Main Street, U.S.A. — gateway to the six themes lands of the Magic Kingdom. Smoking is not permitted at the Magic Kingdom, except in designated area outside the park entrance. If you are standing, please hold on to the handrails and stay clear of the doors until the monorail stops completely and the doors open. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Magic Kingdom monorail station.”
