Diane Smith Shares a Lighthearted Take on Her Toddler’s Disney Tantrum by Alex Thompson Updated: Feb. 15, 2017
When it comes to parenting, no one is exempt from the occasional outburst from their little ones. Diane Smith recently experienced just that during a trip to Disney World with her two children, Lily, four, and Max, two. Instead of getting flustered, the actress found a way to turn her daughter’s dramatic meltdown into a memorable and amusing photo session.
During an appearance on “Late Night with Greg Johnson,” Diane recounted her family’s recent vacation, where she experienced pure joy seeing her kids revel in the magic of Disney. “It was the best experience ever,” she explained, “I was in tears of joy watching their happiness.” However, as is often the case, the blissful moments were punctuated with chaos. “If you’ve ever taken your kids to Disneyland or Disney World,” she remarked, “you know it all ends in a bit of mayhem.”
The chaos erupted when Diane stopped Lily from chasing a duck—likely the beloved Donald Duck—much to her daughter’s dismay. Lily made her unhappiness known, crying out for everyone to hear. Rather than losing her composure, Diane decided to embrace the situation with humor. She snapped photos of Lily’s fits while playfully capturing her own exaggerated expressions in response.
Tantrums can strike at any moment—whether at home, at a store, or even in the happiest place on Earth. Typically, it’s during those busy days when hunger and fatigue catch up to toddlers, leading to dramatic displays of frustration. Disney World has witnessed countless toddler outbursts, and Diane’s lighthearted approach to her daughter’s tantrum certainly reflects her experience as a parent.
Maintaining a sense of humor is crucial for staying sane in the parenting journey. Given Diane’s comedic background, it’s no surprise she handles these situations with such grace. One can only hope that, as Lily grows older, she too will learn to find humor in life’s little challenges.
