Went to Disney on Ice Saturday. After walking from the back of the Civic Center parking lot and waiting in line for several minutes to go through the security check, I was told by a none too nice employee that my purse was too large and I would have to return it to my car. I was in disbelief as my purse was a very normal size for a ladies handbag. After a bit of begging for leniency with no budging, we turned to go. Since we had no choice, my little daughter and I walked as quickly as we could all the way back out to our car and then again back to the Ford Center. At this point the show had started and my daughter was crying. We had trouble finding our seats as we were pretty flustered after such a rough, rushed start. Thankfully, the ushers were helpful. I was able to calm my daughter down and we did enjoy the show after all. HOWEVER, I did notice other women with purses the size of mine who somehow made it through security. In the future, I suggest that the Ford Center station employees out in the parking lot to measure purses so they don't needlessly put a damper on what should be a wonderful outing with loved ones.
