He wasn't kicked out, but he was harassed by a Main Street Ops GSM. "Santa" is a regular, and they guy really does look the part. December he wears a red shirt and the day in question he was wearing Santa Mickey ears. He's a nice guy, and didn't have the heart to tell a curious 2-year-old that he wasn't. GSM went postal on him because, "Santa is a Disney character!" :santa:

Fortunately, when he agreed to lose the hat and tell children who asked that he wasn't Santa, the GSM let him stay.

Good thing too, cause as much as I'd want to hurt that GSM for pulling that stunt, it's really not a good idea.

Hmm, too bad its not like the guy here in California, that had his name changed! and has the California Drivers License to prove it! Wonder what the GSM would have said if he pulled out the I.D.!

I think i saw this one last thursday at the tiki room. My wife and i could not figure out what the big deal for her was dressing this way except for a need for attention. The cm at the tiki room told her she liked her dress. My boys asked why she was dressed up that way but never thought she was a princess.

I would think she would look more like the fairy from "fractured fairy tales" the one that gets smashed by the logo!

Oh, that just makes me mad. I just don't know how I would have handled the GSM if they had said that in front of me.

There was a better way to deal with it, I'm sure. But what can you do?

Ooh, I have a q. Let's say I put a costume in a backpack and then changed in the bathroom. Since I'm already in the park, would someone still kick me out or?

Yeah, I'm causing trouble but that's what I'm good at. :twisted:

Since when is Alice a princess? I saw a little girl and a young lady (at different times) in Alice dresses tonight.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Why is that people have such issues with these things?
Met the guy. He used to stay at Ft Wilderness. Nice guy and nice family.

Not only a red shirt, white beard, but a large belt buckle with SC on it.

You would most likely be asked to change back or asked to leave, yes.

yep, Alice is still just a little girl. which is sort of scary to see a woman in her dress. What's next? Giselle a princess? Watch the movie people! she didn't marry the prince.
