No fairytale ending: Natasha Narula and her daughter Drew




She was told her outfit could confuse children at Disneyland Paris, because she looked too much like a cartoon character.

Instead she was forced to go back to her hotel with eight-year-old daughter Drew and change.

Natasha, from Coventry, West Mids, said she had been completely embarrassed by the incident.

She said, "It was so humiliating being pulled aside by the security team. They said 'you can't get in here looking like that'.

"I was wearing a silly, puffy, sleeved wedding dress with a birthday badge and Mickey Mouse ears -- I hardly looked like Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast. It was unbelievable because I had already got permission from somebody on the phone, but the guards said the children would think that I worked for them. They told me I couldn't go in until I'd changed into more suitable clothing."

According to Natasha, she was wearing a totally hideous wedding dress that she bought from Oxfam the day before for ufffd20 (Rs 1,300).

"It was supposed to have been a fun day out. We saw loads of children on the way and not one of them asked if I was one of the princesses," she said. The incident happened on April 1.

The Other Side
Disneyland yesterday confirmed it had a global policy banning adults from wearing fancy dress in their theme parks.u00a0 A spokesman said, "No one over the age of nine is allowed to enter our theme parks in fancy dress. It prevents confusion."
