La Palma's Chelsea Krueger is getting ready for her Quinceanera, and like any young lady gearing up to party with her friends and family, she's looking forward to her dream day of gathering to celebrate with her friends and family.Krueger's mom wants the day to be extra special, too, which is why she hired the same people who put together the Grammy Awards to design her little darling's big day, and they are having the shindig at the Happiest Place On Earth: Disneyland. Just to thrust Chelsea further into the spotlight, the Kruegers are participating in MTVtr3's spin-off show "Quiero Mis Quince," which stems from their love-to-hate-it/hate-to-love-it display of ostentatious spending and style, "My Super Sweet Sixteen."
Even thought the Kruegers are paying Disneyland $45,000 to use their Hotel as the event venue, the Mouse is saying no to the camera crews, reports cbs2. It seems the party will still happen, but to see you'll have to be on the guest list, and not just a channel surfer:
Despite the disrupted dream, the rhinestone-studded invitations have been sent, the 24-carat cake topper has arrived, Chelsea's Cinderella dress is ready and the show will go on at Disneyland Hotel. Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown says the theme park retains "the right to approve all filming for broadcast at Disneyland Resort, and feel this type of show is not the right fit for Disney Parks."
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
