Disney Characters Arrested!

It’s not the sort of thing you want the kids to see…a handcuffed Snow White being dragged away from Disneyland by the cops.

It gets worse. Cinderella, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell were handcuffed, frisked and loaded into police vans last Thursday after a labor dispute involving three Disney-owned hotels.

Following an hour-long march, thirty-two protesters, many wearing costumes famous Disney character costumes, sat in a circle on a busy intersection outside the park holding hands before being carted off in plastic handcuffs by the police.

Tourists in Disney T-shirts and hats looked on with bewildered faces as the costumed picketers we’re hauled away.

“It’s changing my opinion of Disneyland,” an Australian tourist commented.

Indeed, the “Happiest Place on Earth” was less than a fairytale that day!
