Disney has recently decided to allow same-sex couples to exchange vows in front of Cinderella's Castle and partake in its Fairy Tale Wedding program. A spokesperson for the Disney Parks and Resorts said that Disney wants everyone who goes there to feel welcome and respected. How nice.
The company said that it changed its policy after being contacted by a gay couple who wished to use their wedding services. Hard for me to believe that this couple was the FIRST.
Nonetheless, Disney has made the right move. Not only in changing their policy, but also in making a public statement about the change. Certainly there are some groups who strongly oppose this change, but I think it is safe to say that this will earn Disney mostly, if not exclusively, good press.

I thought this was an interesting announcement too. I'm glad they decided to be inclusive. Like you, I think the reaction will mostly be positive.
One error to fix: "everyone who goes there" not "their."
