In short, this former character performer was working as one of Cinderella’s Ugly Step-Sisters during a character dinner at Walt Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort hotel.

While performing, she asked if one Guest wanted an autograph, as they had indicated so by placing it at the end of the table.

However, the Guest tells her that the autograph book is for princesses and princesses alone!

Staying in character, the Ugly Step-Sister performer makes a little fuss about not being a princess and snatches the autograph book, while giving the Guest enough time to stop her from signing it.
