I was just told by a so called friend that I'm to fat to audition to be cast member at Disneyland that no character or dancer would be allowed to be as big as me. Oh well that's her opinion and if there is one thing Disney taught me is that all dreams are possible of coming true. Not bring me down today.

In all honestly, I spent my entire childhood with my family giving me dishonest advice and encouragement because they didn't want to hurt my feelings. I appreciate that they wanted to be kind, but it really didnt prepare me for adulthood very well. Hopefully your friend was just trying to be honest and realistic, though her delivery probably should have been a gentler--you don't look "fat" at all (and friends really shouldn't use that word against each other, in my opinion), but Disney princesses are undoubtably thin compared to the average American. In any case, something like that shouldn't hold you back from pursuing your dreams. Like Smartypants said, you never know exactly what they're looking for, and taking calculated risks is what opens doors for opportunities 😊 - Spoonful_O_Sugar  436.3 #285 5:03PM
I agree. I for one am a very honest friend, but there is such a thing as tact. Some people are really clueless about how things they say can be taken as insulting and truly mean no harm. Either way, it stinks to have rude and hurtful things said to you. - aidensmama  336.6 #445 5:10PM
Exactly. I hope it was just a "foot in mouth" moment that had good intentions. And, aurora, if what she said bothers you (it would definitely bother me), simply talk to her. You don't want to lose your friend over this. - Spoonful_O_Sugar  436.3 #285 5:15PM
I did try talking to here about how it made me feel and she just looked at me and said truth hurts. So it was like she didn't care. - missaroura  139.0 #2460 12:06PM
Yah I am sure your friend could have spoken to you much nicer:( But if you are not a size I think it was 10 max( right CM) you won't make it in plain and simple - this comes from a nice big size 14 gal ;) so im not hatin' it just is what it is.... The only "normal" size character I have seen is an ariel and she is busting at the seems in the dress. It is not at all that she is big, she is beautiful in my eyes but she def was one or two sizes to big for her dress lol. But the dresses take hours and hours and SO much money to make you know..... they try to re-use I am sure. Still go for the exprience:)   - BooEve123  800.6 #116 5:07PM

Wow. People can be rude but you always have to believe in yourself. I know you can do it don't let people's negativity bring you down  - disneyismylife1  186.5 #1792 4:54PM
That is silly, Disney characters come in all shapes and sizes. Follow your dream. Good luck! ✨🌟 - Vegan7LuvsStitch  799.8 #117 5:02PM
But that'll just make it ten times sweeter and more awesome when you DO get the part!!! Break a leg! (just not literally, please!) - SPandEvLover  782.7 #122 5:16PM
Don't let anyone stop you from your dreams or feeling great about who you are today. Love yourself and go for it! Good luck :) - piratelife4me  336.6 #446 5:55PM
Doesn't sound like a very good friend to me!! Follow your dreams!! - DiamondInTheRough  291.9 #660 4:40PM
Thanks DiamondInTheRough that's why I put so called friend. I unfriended her I don't need friends who bring me down - missaroura  139.0 #2460 4:41PM
Good for you... only surround yourself with love and kindness! Hopefully that person will watch you in the parade someday! - DiamondInTheRough  291.9 #660 4:44PM
Other peoples opinions are no business of yours. Sounds like she just likes bringing others down. Stay true to your dreams! 😁 - SquishyGlamazon  115.5 #2812 4:46PM
Thanks SquishyGlamazon - missaroura  139.0 #2460 4:51PM
That's no friend! I live by some words Ellen Degeneres said on her show, "my haters are my motivators" good words to live by. People may put you down, but it's just more motivation to reach your dreams! - PiecesOf8  373.2 #369 4:49PM
I like that! Thanks jennamouse18 - missaroura  139.0 #2460 4:50PM
You're welcome! No one should ever tell you that you can't follow your dream for any reason! I hope that you succeed in one day working as a cast member. - PiecesOf8  373.2 #369 4:58PM
Well thats not nice.... Hopefully she was just trying to be honest... Missing some tact for sure.... Well. Time for me to get all profound n stuff. Here we go: if people are trying to bring you down, it only means you're above them!! Words to live by. Keep following your dreams! :) - LoveDisneyDucklings  28.6 #4445 5:17PM
