Disney Challenge Day 2: Favorite Princess

This may be my favorite day of the 30-day Disney challenge.  It's a super easy decision.  My favorite Disney princess is - and has pretty much always been - Belle.


Maybe it's because my Daddy took me to Price Chopper to buy the VHS after I split my eyebrow open on the playground when I was in Kindergarten (yeah, playground equipment terrifies me now that I have kids).

Maybe it's because she has this piece of hair that's always out of place and it just makes her a little more normal.

Maybe it's because she loves books so much.  A princess who loves to read is an inspiration for little girls everywhere. 

Or maybe it's because she's a girl who knows what she wants - and she's not afraid to wait for it.

Best scene in the movie.

If you ask my parents about my Beauty & the Beast history, they will undoubtedly tell you a story of how I would run up and down the hallway in my childhood home, swinging a basket wildly and singing about how I wanted more than this provincial life.

My husband took me to a high school production of Beauty and the Beast when we were dating and watched me cry when Belle danced with the Beast.  And you know what he did?  He gave me the most magical day of my life.

Yes, this is our actual engagement.

Most romantic thing EVER.

Another childhood dream came true when I finally was able to meet Belle herself when we visited Disney in 2010. Amazing!

I love the other princesses as well, and have a particular fondness for Ariel, Rapunzel, and Cinderella.  But Belle will always, always be my favorite.  Which princess do you love best?

  1. I loved this part of your post:
    "Maybe it's because she's a girl who knows what she wants - and she's not afraid to wait for it."
    I really like that. You don't hear that much; "waiting" and knowing what you want" in the same sentence. :)
