Natasha Narula says it was her daughters dream for them to go to Disneyland, with both of them dressed as a princess. But, Disney threw them out because no one over the age of 9 is allowed to wear a "fancy dress" because it may cause confusion with employees of the park. Spoiling kid's dreams everywhere..Disney.*
I wouldn't wear that get up to a dog fight, but, if it caused such, cough, mass confusion amongst idiots couldn't the mom just say, sorry I don't work here? But, then again, this is being typed by a person who spent two hours gardening Sunday in a rhinestone tiara with attached wedding veil because my grand kid thought I looked pretty. Oh, well, maybe Natasha should be glad they weren't in line behind the "working mom" and her all important brood.

Who is going to believe that a 9 year old dress up like belle works at disney?
Gezz she is a child who wants to just live out one of her fantasy.
If it was some famous kid or kids. I bet the disney corp would let them parade around dress up. Because they are not normal kids. These are privilege little kids. Who deserve the very best.
I've always disliked disney.
ARe they from an eastern european country? Seriously. They look kinda special! Yea, yuck dress on the grandma. I wouldnt wear that anyways just for the lack of comfort & function. I can see tots wanting to do this but not an older kid. Its not even cute then, its just weird. I think they look like they are from Germany or Austria, someplace different, for sure! That place is made for shorts & tee shirts & tennis shoes anyways. Not formal wear.
They're Brit's, I think. The mom's dress was a used wedding gown. And the pair did get in, but, only after the mom changed her clothes.
Okay - the young girl in the gown should have been allowed in. The problem is the adult in the princess dress.
I agree with the Disney policy on this one.
It's a theme park, known for this kind of stuff and having a random woman walking around in a gown is going to cause confusion for park patrons.
I bet that if it was just the kid dressed up they would have let her in - but not as a pair.
And the parks do allow "dress up" -but only as a part of their package options like birthday parties and weddings on site.
When my youngest was 3, we went and she wore her Snow White get up, it was alot of fun, and all of the people who work there addressed her as "Princess" it must be some policy they have to do that if a kid is in costume. She didnt take that thing off for 3 months....

I want a picture of you in that tiarra.
The woman is a weirdo, plain and simple.
I love Disney! I can see where the confusion might come in as far as the adult costuming, because they do have a lot of adult Princesses to take pictures with. I side with Disney. The girl could have gone in dressed in her Princess dress without any problems, though.
Disney resorts are made for shorts and t-shirts/sweatshirts, etc. They both could have worn tiaras, though. I wore one through Disneyland last time. It does have the ears and a pink hat with veil, but there is a tiara, nonetheless. A number of shopkeepers there wanted to know my first name so they could address me properly, and so, from then on I was Princess Christina. I don't think they mean badly, it just is their policy, and they are very strict to try to maintain order. (It was the same way at parade time in the afternoon. You can not pause, even for a few seconds, on the sidewalk when the curb area is occupied with people parade-watching. There are huge numbers of employees watching to encourage you quickly on your way so that people can move through areas without being clogged up with extra watchers.) It just prevents gridlock, but they are right on it if you slow down or pause.
I agree with Disney. If you let them in you have to let others in. Confusion sets in and you have "Disney Princesses" using bad language, etc. Disney keeps a tight grip on their reputation and there's no reason why someone would need to go to a park dressed as a Princess.
Snowbunnie, yes it is their policy to do that sort of thing. My son had a Minnie Mouse follow him around for a good 3-4 minutes because he was wearing Mickey ears. She pantomimed that she was in love with him b/c he was Mickey. Couldn't get those ears off him after that.
We spent a week in a Disney hotel and the maids do cute little things with the Disney stuffed animals and toys you buy there. Our Mickey and Minnie dolls were always holding hands and sitting on the window sill waiting for us to come home........ along with other 'cute' things.
Oh, and Stitch of 'Lilo and Stitch' kept stealing my son's ears and throwing them on the ground. Lilo told him he was VERY naughty!
That is so adorable, Tonya!!! I love the Minnie following him around---it must have been so cute!
To the fellow Disney lovers out there....when we were in Disneyland last time, this guy dressed as Captain Jack swaggered up to my hubs and pulled the map out of his shirt pocket, mumbled some stuff and walked away with the map...My hubby thought it was just some drunk wierdo wearing eyeliner, didnt have a clue who he was supposed to be, and it was the funniest thing Ive ever seen...

Snowbunnie, that is hilarious! I wish that could have happened to us when we were there. I love Captain Jack. The only things that happened to us were when my four-year-old son got his "ray-gun" taken by Tigger who repeatedly chased and shot at Pooh, with it, and all the staff members that we met wishing my husband, Andy and I all kinds of good wishes because we were wearing the birthday/celebration buttons that they give you (it was my husband's birthday on our last day there). (All you have to do is go to City Hall at Disneyland, and let them know what you are celebrating, and they give you the buttons to wear, so that staff can wish you well, etc. We purchased city passes for a variety of parks, so, instead of free admission on his birthday, they also gave him a gift card for $65 to spend wherever he wanted---in Disneyland. It was very cool.)
Sorry for the extra posting, but I wanted to mention that I watched a news show with this story on it, and the woman apparently called Disneyland (Paris) to see if it would be okay to come dressed as a princess. Initially they told her it was okay, then said no when she arrived at the park in her dress. Sounds like someone didn't bother to check park protocol, or was inexperienced, when she called in to inquire. I would have been upset if I checked in and was told it was okay, then not, at the entrance, too. That was a shabby way to treat a guest.
I dont think any little girl would confuse this lady with a disney princess anyway, but whatever....Christina, it has been awhile...hows your son doing? My dtr is still a nightmare.....snowbunnie
