Should You Keep Your Princess Visit a Surprise?

One of our most frequently asked questions is “Should I keep the princess visit a surprise from my child?” While it is incredibly magical to watch the look of awe and wonder on your child’s face when an unexpected visitor waltzes into the party, it is important to think of your child’s temperament as well!

Here are some questions to ask yourself to help you determine whether or not you should keep your princess party a surprise.  

Lessons Learned from Sleeping Beauty

Hail to the Princess Aurora

Sleeping Beauty Startled

One of my favorite moments in all of Disney princess history is when Briar Rose is surprised by Prince Phillip and the two begin singing together—it’s pretty much impossible not to swoon at the romance, but for me it was also the sound of her singing voice. Aurora has one of the loveliest voices I have ever heard, as well as one of the most beautifully animated movies ever produced by Disney. Those attributes alone make it easy to love Sleeping Beauty—and it doesn’t hurt that Phillip is arguably one of the cutest Disney princes. But Sleeping Beauty is more than simply beautiful visuals—this movie features a heroine who is quieter than her Disney princess predecessors, but who still manages to display immense strength. This time, however, our princess doesn’t immediately face her antagonist, although Maleficent certainly makes an appearance. Instead, we see Aurora choosing to sacrifice her own happiness for the good of others.

Things We Learn From Princess Ariel

Written By: Sarai Elora

Thirty years after making Sleeping Beauty, Disney came out with The Little Mermaid—the movie responsible for inspiring the mermaid obsession in countless young girls everywhere. Bright, excitable, and fiery, Ariel swam onto the scene and stole our hearts. Ariel was the beginning of the new generation of Disney princesses—and certainly the first mermaid. It’s pretty easy to see why Ariel is the favorite of many, with her spunky personality and the fact that she took control of her fate with hope and independence. She was also a mermaid, which is pretty magical and exciting, especially to all of us land folk. There’s a lot to love about our favorite little mermaid, so let’s dive in for a closer look.

Elsa – Be True to yourself

Ice Queen

We cannot mention Elsa without the song “Let It Go!” Elsa spent her whole life trying to “Conceal, don’t feel.  Don’t let it show.”  However, she was so much more than a normal child.  She was born with incredible powers of ice and snow, and in trying to hide them, they began to control her.  Suppressing who she truly was brought more harm and fear to her than good.  Once she “let it go,” she was able to discover what she was capable of.  Elsa became a beloved ruler only after she embraced herself.  We, like Elsa, need to embrace ourselves (flaws and strengths) in order to live a full and happy life.
