I would love to walk around DL I a full blown Princess costume but something told me even before I checked that it wouldn't be ok. So I've always settled on flamboyant mickey ears, character tees and face paint. I'm happy because I still get to dress silly, Disney's happy because I still look like a guest.. What bothers menthe most in this 'news' story is how they harp on about how many hours she put into her hair/make up etc, as though that somehow makes it unfair.. Does she not see that she broke a fairly well known rule, was then more than compensated for it and yet she still takes to the media to whine? I really just don't understand people sometimes!

Originally Posted By Autopia Deb KIDS are allowed to wear costumes in the park on normal days, TEENS are not. She's six full years too old and really should have known better. But her worst offense is her whiney entitled attitude.
Originally Posted By HRM i think "They" were being polite to pseudo-Tink by saying she would be confused with the real Tink. Pseudo-Tink wasn't "dressed-up" appropriatly to resemble a Disney character. Now i'v seen some interesting, and revealing, fashions on Guests at the Parks; wonder what is said to those people?
Originally Posted By danyoung >Ah I don't understand how this even warfare a news story..< I'm not sure we can even have an intelligent discussion with someone who posts a sentence like the above . . . . .<hee hee> And I don't even have a problem with the fact that the young lass didn't do her research. She wanted something to happen, and up to a point it did. That point, of course, was admission to a park (and she got away with a sneaky one by getting in to DAK!!!). And at that point she should have realized the mistake, been chagrined, and then made adjustments to her plans to still have a good time. But it was more important for her to play the drama queen. Sad to watch, but not all that hard to understand.

I could maybe see a 10 year old wanting to wear a costume to the parks, but it really shouldn't be an issue for most folks. This girl is just crazy. And/or trying to get attention.
