I guess it works with Mary Poppins though, so who knows.

She was wearing her pirates shirt and ready to take pictures...and then it got canceled due to inclement weather..and it was the last show of the day! Sure I was disappointed, but she was devastated, so I know for a fact that both little boys and girls would also be interested in this event

My oldest loved Little Mermaid - but she was not a princess until merchandising made her so. Her other favorite Disney feature is Lion King. My youngest's favorite is Stitch.( and Lilo )- and she loves the old Merrie Melodies type stuff.. Some girls are athletes ( as mine are) - - and refuse to be relegated to cheerleader status for the princesses.. Now my oldest would rather have Will Turner than Capt'n Jack, but that is just her personal preference - LOL !

Originally Posted By sun-n-fun I didn't mean at all that it would be only for boys. Girls would really enjoy it too. But my boys have no desire to even get in line to see a princess. One of these days, I'm going to Ariel alone.
