To beef up traffic-law enforcement, Gossett said the

said she plat:'
“I love children, that’s what kept
me at Disneyland so long,’’Reyes
says.
She worked at the Anaheim,
Calif.-based park for seven and a
half years, starting as a Cinderella
Dancer in the 1974 Disneyland
Christmas Parade and ending up in
the business and promotion end of
the park.
Reyes was a dancer and a high
school junior in 1974 when she de
cided to audition for the Disneyland
Christmas Parade. Eight hours of
elimination rounds paid off when
she was named a Cinderella Dancer
for that year’s parade. Her foot was
inside Disneyland’s gate.
Then she auditioned for a sum
mer job at the amusement park and
got the role of Snow White’s dwarf
pal Dopey. Later, she became Snow
White in the parade that daily goes
down Disneyland’s Main Street.
That led her to the coveted role of
Snow White in the park itself.
“The kids were in such awe, some
times they’d do really odd things,”
she says. “But older people were the
ones you had to waten.”
Reyes wore her Snow White cos
tume five days a week, eight hours a
day. The Disney costume depart
ment custom-made everything for
her, including the black wig with red
bow.
Though she normally doesn’t
sound like Snow White, she still
knows all the moves. Her arms, bent
at the elbow, go up in a gesture of
surprise. She tilts her head a bit, and
her voice rises.
“Hello! Welcome to Disneyland!”
But Reyes says she loves her life as
Mrs. Reyes, Jennifer’s mommy, and
a makeup artist and skin analyst.
She gave up playing Snow White
when she became pregnant with Jen
nifer. After her daughter’s birth, she
decided she was too old to go back.
“I was given so many opportuni
ties to work by Disney,” she says. “I
see Snow White as a very happy 14-
year-old girl who adored children.
“That’s why I had one.”
