Disney Princesses: A Short History of One Girl’s Obsession: Ariel
In honor of my oldest niece’s 6th birthday, I have decided to chronicle the history of her obsession with the Disney Princesses, one Disney Princess at a time.
1. Princess Ariel: I believe the obsession with Princess Ariel began in the womb, since Ariel is also my sister’s favorite Disney heroine. Ariel is a cool independent thinker so I encouraged my niece’s interest in Ariel. I also like the catchy songs and Sebastian the Crab in The Little Mermaid. Seriously, who can’t appreciate the calypso rhythms of Under the Sea?
A quick guide to Disney Princess Ariel-related gifts:
- The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning limited release DVD will be released on August 26, 2008. Great for fall birthdays and Christmas stocking stuffers!
- Ariel’s Undersea Adventure for Nintendo DS
- The Little Mermaid pajamas
- Beware of Shimmering Lights Ariel!
This isn’t totally Princess Ariel-related, but if you want to really impress the little girl in your life, sign up for the inaugural Disney Princess Half Marathon weekend, March 6-8, 2009. Registration just opened on Monday, May 5th, but I have a feeling it will fill up quickly. I am sure many of the Disney Princesses will be there in person to cheer the racers, especially the kids races on Saturday, March 7.

OMG that is fabulous! I love that they call them “merblades!”
Which little girl didn’t have an obsession with “The Little Mermaid” when it came out? Or any other Disney Princess for that matter. It’s part of being a little princess, along with ballet and piano lessons. Ariel’s cool, but to be honest, the crab was my fave.
