Chelsea Krueger wants her $150,000 quinceanera at Disneyland Hotel and MTV cameras, too, but Disneyland is not keen on that idea.

Disneyland is standing in the way of one princess and her Cinderella story.
The theme park was chosen as the site of Chelsea Krueger's quinceanera, a traditional coming-of-age party celebrating a girl's 15th birthday. Both Chelsea and her mother, Marilin Vargas, who live in La Palma, are planning the event to be worthy of the Grammy Awards – in fact, the production company that decorates the awards show was hired to deck out the Chelsea's party.
But one thing that the Grammys has over Chelsea's party will be the cameras. Disneyland, which is being paid more than $45,000 for use of its facilities, has refused to allow MTVtr3s cameras to film at the hotel where the $150,000 event will be held.
Chelsea and her mother had sent in videos to be on "Quiero Mis Quince," a spin-off of MTV's "My Super Sweet Sixteen." Both shows follow teenage girls as they throw swanky coming-of-age parties.
"I want to show that my mom has worked so hard to give me something. Its her dream and my dream. I just want to show off my dream," Chelsea says.
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."
