Not all little girls visiting Disney World are lining up to meet a princess. One four-year-old proved the force is strong with her when she took on a parade of Star Wars villains in order to meet her idol, Rey.
In a viral video shared on Instagram account Disney.Bound.Family, four-year-old Vanessa stands her ground, channeling the force, while a parade including Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Kylo Ren and numerous Storm Troopers march right up to where she is standing dressed as a mini Rey. Finally, the villains give way to Rey and Chewbacca and Vanessa’s reaction is pure Disney magic.
“Rey is her favorite Star Wars character,” Vanessa’s mom Candace told POPSUGAR. “She loves dressing up as a warrior type. She really gets so into the character and will even get mad if I call her by her real name when she’s in costume. She’ll say, ‘Mom, I’m not Vanessa!'”
A visit to the Magic Kingdom doesn’t get much more special than this.
