Disney committed to inclusion and representation with the Reimagine Tomorrow program.
This program aims to increase diversity in Disney media and in the parks, and we’ve already seen some of Disney’s efforts through more inclusive Cast Member costume guidelines as well as through disability representation in two Marvel projects, for which Disney was awarded. Disney has also made changes in the parks, including the introduction of inclusive merchandise and another form of representation you might have missed.
EPCOT’s newest store, Creations Shop, is home to quite a wide variety of Disney merchandise, but you may have never noticed a diverse form of representation throughout the store.
If you look closely at all the details throughout Creations Shop, you can see how Disney is committed to inclusivity through their mannequins.
On a recent visit, we spotted one mannequin sitting in a wheelchair, modeling some of the newer 2022 Flower & Garden Festival merchandise.
And another mannequin can be seen wearing a cochlear implant, or a device worn by some deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals to aid with sound.
You can read more about Disney’s efforts for inclusivity on their website, and stay tuned to AllEars for more Disney news and updates.
