Disneyland

Summer Robert, 28, claims she was asked to leave Disneyland because staff deemed her outfit “inappropriate”. She says she was unable to cover up her boobs properly

People may think that it’s great to have big boobs, but a woman has shared just how challenging it can be to live with larger breasts. Summer Robert, 28, has previously shared that she can’t control how big her boobs grow due to a rare condition.

She currently has R-cup breasts, but they could grow even bigger, as she suffers from something called Macromastia. This is the medical term used to describe having abnormally large breasts. The health problem can actually cause many issues such as chronic back, neck and shoulder pain and headaches, and she recently explained how people can misunderstand things about how she looks.

Summer, from Glasgow, recently visited Disneyland, in California, where she alleges she was approached by a disgruntled staff member who demanded she “leave the park” as a guest had complained about her. She said the experience was “humiliating”, and it’s not the first time someone has been told they look inappropriate at a theme park.

In an open conversation, Summer, who has over 200,000 Instagram followers, explained: “I was absolutely heartbroken. You go to the happiest place on earth, expecting a wonderful time, but instead I was treated horribly. I have a medical condition I can’t control and, because I can’t find clothes that fully cover my 30R chest, I was kicked from the park.

“Being followed into a shop by staff like I was a criminal simply for existing in my own body is a level of humiliation I wouldn’t wish on anyone.”

Summer said she had visited Disney before and worn a similar outfit, but she’s never previously had any problems. She has been to Orlando and Paris with “no complaints” about her choice of clothing.

During her trip, she was wearing a skirt and a long-sleeved top, something she thought was more than acceptable for the occasion. However, according to her, some members of staff had other ideas.

Summer said: “A male employee approached me and said ‘This is just to let you know someone has complained about what you’re wearing’. I asked him what was wrong with my outfit, and he shrugged, and gave me a look that basically said ‘nothing’.

“I told him there was nothing inappropriate about what I was wearing. I was dressed the same as most people there, the only difference being that I have larger breasts. He laughed and said ‘Trust me, I’m trying not to look — you’re good’.

“As I started to walk away, an older female employee came up to me and began shouting. She said ‘I’m a mother, an aunt and a daughter and I can tell you’re dressed ridiculously. You need to go to your car and get a sweatshirt to cover them up’.

“I told her I didn’t have a sweatshirt, it was 30° heat, and asked why I would. She then told me I needed to buy one from the Disney store or leave.”

At this point, Summer claimed she was “yelling”, which made the male employee “extremely uncomfortable”. Summer said he kept glancing at her as if to apologise for her behaviour.

Summer told them they were about to leave anyway, which seemed to please the female member of staff. However, it’s claimed she then followed Summer and her friends.

“My friend and I went into a store outside of the park, thinking she had stopped following us,” she added. “While we were browsing, she approached us again and said ‘Unless you’re in here buying something to cover them up, you need to leave NOW.’

“I had remained calm the entire time, because I didn’t want to draw attention to myself, and was honestly embarrassed, but at that point I spoke up. I told her ‘We’ve left the park. I’m not buying something to cover up.

“There is absolutely nothing wrong with my outfit, there are people walking around in sports bras and leggings. I am fully covered. The only difference is that I have large breasts, which I cannot help’.

“She changed her story and claimed the issue was now my skirt, a skirt that had shorts underneath. This was despite her repeatedly saying I needed to ‘cover those up’, clearly referring to my chest. A back-and-forth followed. People were staring, and several parents were visibly shaking their heads at her in disapproval.”

Summer stated the entire experience left her feeling “disgusting”, and led to her crying all the way home. They spent around four hours in the park before the events unfolded, and also received a free fast pass ticket for a ride from a worker prior to this.

She added that she now won’t return to California Disney, as the incident left her feeling so “embarrassed”. Summer continued: “It’s sad, because we were having such a good time until it happened, and now I just have a sour taste in my mouth.”

Disney has been asked to comment.

Writers from around the world have provided their top tips on how to get the most out of going to one of Disney’s many resorts, and how to save money along the way

A writer who has been on more than 50 Disney vacations has given their advice on what to do when visiting one of the parks. Kari Becker, a travel planner and freelance writer, has a vast amount of experience visiting various Disney locations.

After years of engaging in the experience of these places, Kari has discerned several major tips and tricks for getting the most out of the magical destination.

Her number one tip, she said, was to make sure to arrive as early as possible. This is due to the large crowds that continue to visit these parks.

She told Business Insider: “My No. 1 tip for visiting theme parks of any kind is to arrive early. You’ll get a huge jump on your day if you get to the parks as soon as they open, or just before.

“Crowd levels tend to be much lower at this time, meaning you can experience many attractions early in the day. By midday, the crowds usually significantly increase.”

As well as providing guidance on when to go, Kari also outlined some of the mistakes people usually make when either planning or physically going to one of Disney’s many parks.

These include cutting the trip too short, going during school holidays, as well as arriving too late, and over-planning.

On the latter, she explained: “Make a general outline of your daily agenda — with dining reservations and a list of must-do rides and attractions — but leave room for spontaneous fun.

“If you’re on too tight a schedule, you’ll miss all the good stuff, like unique character interactions.”

Kari isn’t the only writer to have provided some tips on how to experience Disneyland to the maximum with ReachPlc’s Portia Jones also providing some tips on how to do the visit yearly without spending a lot of money.

Her main tips were to skip the crowds, book tickets in advance, and, in the case of Disneyland Paris, take the train, plan as much as possible, consider a Disney meal plan, and bring your own food.

On the last matter, she told WalesOnline: “Disneyland Paris may be the happiest place on earth, but its food prices can bring you down to earth with a bump.

“Pack your snacks and bring a refillable water bottle to save money. You can bring food into the park, so load up on sandwiches, crisps, and fruit before you arrive.

“Plenty of water fountains are scattered around where you can refill your bottle, meaning you’ll avoid paying sky-high prices for drinks.”
