Disneyland says boys cannot be princesses

DISNEYLAND Paris has refused to let a three-year-old boy take part in its “princess for a day” experience because he is not a girl, his mother has said.

Hayley Mclean-glass said little Noah was “buzzing with excitement” when he found out the theme park offered the chance to dress up as princesses, including as Elsa, his favourite character from the film Frozen.

But his mother told how she was left devastated when she tried to book, only to receive the response: “At this time it is not possible to book princess for a day for a boy.”

“I just think that it’s unfair, I mean if there was Spiderman event, girls would be allowed to do it,” Ms Mclean-glass, from Painton in Devon told ITV News. “If anyone told a girl that she couldn’t do that, there would be absolute uproar, but I just don’t understand why it’s different for a boy.”

A Disneyland Paris spokesman said: “We are taking this situation very seriously and sincerely apologise to Hayley and Noah for the distress.

“Diversity is near and dear to our hearts. Of course, both boys and girls are welcome to enjoy the princess for a day experience and as well as other special activities.”
