Today is my favorite mermaid’s birthday! (Or birthday of her story, at least.) I wasn’t allowed to see The Littler Mermaid until I was fifteen, but I fell in love immediately. And that summer I went on my first Disney trip since I was five years old. My patient father waited with me for nearly an hour so I could meet Ariel and I was so happy I nearly cried. Thanks for being such a spunky, joyful inspiration to an awkward little nerd, Ariel. #thelittlemermaid #ariel #awkwardbabynerdcaitlin (at Meet Ariel at Her Grotto)

And then this talking candle told me to eat this gray stuff. I don’t know what’s going on, but I like it. Gray stuff is getting added to the Snoggletog menu this year for sure. #howtotrainyourdragon #mnsshp2015 #costume #cosplay #princessastrid (at Be Our Guest Restaurant)
