Back from vacation, and you just can't beat those Disney imagineers, manufacturing a picture-perfect rainbow for our amusement.
And here for further amusement, a list of the Top 10 Disney heroines. Sorry, Arielle. Your girl barely squeaked onto this list. Apparently because she might be underage (though I imagine she's legal now, if a bit fishy).

You know, all the Disney princes are sort of nondescript and cookie-cutter. This might explain why I can't even remember any of them. And why we saw about a hundred little girls dressed as princesses, and only one little boy dressed up with a cape and sword.
If you want to be constantly surrounded by the Disney Princess phenomenom (read as: evil but brilliant marketing gimmick), try having a 3-year-old daughter.
Half the time, we're not even allowed to call her by her given name - usually it's either Jasmine or Ariel, and sometimes Cinderella or even just "Princess".
Sometimes I'm called Aladdin and she's Jasmine and I am literally forced to sit with her on our magic carpet (blanket) and sing the entire "Whole New World" song together when that scene comes on. It's absolutely fucking adorable when she sings her part - not so much when I sing my part.
I also find it funny that she loves Belle and Mulan despite never having seen the respective movies they appeared in. Evil marketing geniuses, I tells ya!
Start saving up money now if you want to afford a trip to Disney before she's married or you father a fourth kid.
We were two childless adults marveling at all the crap children there wind up lugging around. But the smiles are priceless (and by that, I mean about $250 for five days adult admission, not including air fare, not including a hotel room).
Not to mention the gift shops, which you can't escape if you plan to leave at the end of any ride or attraction, and where you will find an endless supply of overpriced but wonderful items, like an Animal antenna ball, or a retractable light saber, or Mickey Mouse dressed as any one of a thousand characters, or a $5 pen.
Or, if you're like us, you manage to avoid nearly all the temptations before breaking down and purchasing a t-shirt - and then realizing the next day that you bought the wrong one.
